Environment - Protecting the Planet
At Consultix, we actively support emissions reduction throughout our global business operations and value chain to achieve our scientifically based and climate-neutral goals. We continue to optimize the procurement of renewable energy to reach our target of 100% renewable energy by 2030.
We are developing the sustainable data center of the future and exploring future investments in innovations.
Social - Unleashing Potentials
Our ambition is to do more each day to unlock potentials. This includes building a diverse and inclusive culture where every employee can say, "I feel safe, I belong, and I matter." We support and promote the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of all employees.
Our goal is to connect the communities in which we live with the opportunities of the digital world.
Governance - Doing what is Right
We are aware of and actively promote global responsibility through unwavering values and ethical practices.
An important building block is the integration of sustainability and transparency throughout our company to steadily expand the development of partnerships to promote innovation and action.
Supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
The UN-Agenda 2030, with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is a global plan to promote sustainable peace, prosperity, and the protection of our planet. We also focus on the 6 goals that align best with our business and where we believe we have the greatest opportunities to make a difference.

Transparency and disclosure
We strive to transparently communicate our strategy/goals and the impact of our activities.
Since 2019, our actions have been guided by the standards of the UN Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
In this way, we aim to assess, manage and measure our climate-related risks, social and governance opportunities.
ESG-certification for more transparency
Striving for an ESG certification with a rating is a step towards transparent sustainability assessment. Rating specialists have developed ESG scores as a comprehensive approach to evaluating sustainability. Examples of such certifications are the "Ecovadis Silver Logo 2021" and the "Creditreform ESG-Score 2022" (currently being processed at Consultix until August 2023).
These certifications help assess and showcase the sustainability performance at Consultix.
We are customer-centric
At Consultix, the customer is at the center of everything we do. We acknowledge that our customers have their own sustainability goals, and we have the unique opportunity to assist them in achieving these goals. We collaborate closely with our customers to develop and implement sustainable solutions that support not only their own sustainability objectives but also benefit their customers.
Partnerships with the Industry
Promoting sustainability is a collaborative endeavor. Therefore, Consultix collaborates with key industry and business partners to achieve and maximize optimal results and drive change within our organization and the industries we engage with.
Our Stakeholders
The shareholders, executives, employees, and key internal and external stakeholders of Consultix are collectively committed to sustainability and have made it an integral part of our growth strategy.
Engaging our stakeholders is crucial to the success of our sustainability efforts. We maintain open and flexible, multidimensional communication channels with our customers, employees, and partners. Additionally, we place great importance on collaboration and partnership with interest groups and industry associations (such as Bitkom, ECO Internet Association, Teletrust, DMV, ANA (US), GDD, etc.).
