MedNet is Committed to Greater Sustainability and will be Climate-Neutral in 2022

MedNet has successfully renewed its certificate as a climate-neutral company through Climate Extender, an intermediary for sustainable climate protection activities. In order to achieve climate neutrality, internal measures are being taken to reduce CO2 emissions and compensate for the amount that cannot be reduced. The project team had already identified several areas in need of improvement. In the past, for example, MedNet has switched to providers that use green electricity, purchased climate-neutral devices and offered job bikes and home office days. Through the use of home office days by employees, MedNet saved over 30 tons of emissions in the evaluation period compared to the previous year. The goal for next year is to invest in climate-neutral transport in order to further offset emissions from freight transport. In order to compensate for the emissions caused, MedNet has decided to support four climate protection projects that are based on the UN's sustainable development goals. These include protecting biodiversity in the Amazon region, a hydroelectric power plant in Peru, a solar power plant in India and a project to convert poultry litter into renewable electricity. Dr. Flotho-Westrup, RA manager and project manager, explained why MedNet chose these specific projects: "They serve to protect the climate, but above all they help to support the local economy and improve the living conditions of local people."
