Environmental Commitment

We started small, replacing conventional lightbulbs with energy-saving lamps, printing paper on both sides, and turning off monitors during breaks. Then we asked ourselves: what more can our office do to protect the world around us? We went on to develop additional ideas, winning first place in the Office & Environment Contest 2013 – as the “most environmentally friendly office in Germany with 20-500 employees”.

Green Electricity

In the software development industry, electricity consumption is generally pretty high. For this reason, we decided to exclusively use eco-friendly power and support renewable energy systems.

Green Data Center

Server capacity requires storage space, which requires electricity. Our website is hosted by OVH, an ecologically responsible hoster. Water and air cooling mean that almost no air-conditioning systems are required.

Green Mail

We send all of our letters – tens of thousands annually – via the eco-friendly GoGreen scheme from the German postal services. For each letter, we pay compensation for the carbon emissions generated.

Green Alternatives

We offer green options for many of our products and services – enabling customers to download software instead of having a CD shipped, and providing online training via fastviewer in place of on-site visits. More about combit training packages.

Sponsorship

At combit, we want to give something back. In addition to making donations in response to specific events, we provide ongoing support in the form of sponsorship. This is more direct, more personal. It may be a small contribution, but we hope it will encourage others to follow suit.

Child Sponsorship Plan International Germany

We have been sponsoring two Zambian children, Wyclif and Joyce, through Plan International Germany since 2005. After the typhoon disaster in the Philippines in late 2013, we have also decided to sponsor two Filipino children in the disaster-struck area. Plan works in 50 developing countries to promote child rights, and lift millions of children out of poverty.

Sponsor a Child!

Animal Sponsorship WWF

We have been sponsoring the orangutan through WWF since 2005, protecting its natural habitat. WWF, the world’s leading independent conservation body, takes an integrated approach to the well-being of people, wildlife and the environment.

Support WWF!

Social Day 2011 Malteser International

We didn't want to miss the Malteser Social Day, where companies donate their labor power to local social facilities. At this special day, combit employees left their desks to paint walls in a rundown school, set up a playground in a disadvantaged area and renovate a kindergarten.

Support Malteser!

Donations save-me Konstanz

combit supports organizations or projects with donations regularly. In the case of save-me Konstanz combit employees have donated their working hours. This was converted into a sum of money and doubled by management. The total of 12,500 euros will be used to help refugees with the organization of their everyday life in completely new surroundings.
