Step by step towards a sustainable future
At InterNations, we’ve always been aware of our responsibility as a company. Early on, we established the world’s largest community outreach program for expats, InterNations Changemakers.
But we wanted to do more! That’s why we launched our sustainability initiative in 2019. Our goal is to reduce our company’s negative effects on the environment to a minimum — whether in our daily work or with our platform. We consider this an ongoing process during which we assess our footprint, identify issues, and implement measures to improve.
Our biggest achievements so far
Climate neutrality
We calculated our company’s carbon footprint and offset all our emissions. For this, we chose the Plastic Bank combination project, which allows for climate neutrality and ocean protection at the same time.
Renewable energy for our servers
We only use certified green hydropower energy, produced in Germany and Europe.
Member of “Leaders for climate action”
We firmly believe that we must do whatever we can as a company, using our influence and network to help in the fight against climate change. That’s why we joined LFCA, an entrepreneurial community that drives climate action.
Eco-friendly business travel policy
A standardized policy helps employees decide when business travel is necessary, and which means of transportation to use to keep the impact as low as possible.
Sustainable & plastic-reduced supplies/catering
Whether it’s recycled paper or plant-based food, we make sure the supplies we order for our team follow high environmental standards wherever possible.
What’s next
The sky’s the limit! Even if we have already reduced our footprint, we know that there’s still a lot we can do. By trying our best, we also hope to inspire other companies to join us on this journey.
