JI (Joint Implementation)
Joint Implementation (JI) is a flexible mechanism for the reduction of emissions, intended by the Kyoto Protocol. The reduction of emissions resulting from JI is credited exclusively to the country which invests in this reduction. The basic idea is that it does not matter where emissions are reduced, as long as they are being reduced. JI thus enables a transfer of emission reduction rights from one country to another.

Formula 1 is our core business. We are passionate and committed to it, but we also want to be responsible and to actively help protect the environment. We have been carbon neutral since 2011. carbon-connect measures our CO 2 emissions and we offset these via the REDD APD project in the Amazon rain forest. -
Probably the most important part of environmental sustainability is combating climate change, and to do that we must reduce global CO 2 emissions. We are one of the first players in the MotoGP industry to be carbon neutral. We have been measuring the greenhouse gases we emit since 2015 and we offset these via the high-quality REDD APD climate protection project in Brazil. This project works to stop deforestation and thus maintain the diversity of the Amazon rain forest. -

As the father of four children I believe the future of our planet was and is crucial, and it is an issue that is close to my heart. Our world still gets a lot of things wrong when it comes to climate policy, so I think each individual person has an obligation to address the issue of climate change and do what they can to stop it. I am convinced that with its business idea carbon-connect AG is still breaking new ground, but that this concept will play an important role in the future of our planet. Not only that, but the company has combined climate protection and profitability in a unique way, which was another thing that persuaded me to get involved with the company.

Corporate Carbon Footprint
The carbon footprint covers all climate-relevant emissions of your economic activity. We create a CO 2 balance (Corporate Carbon Footprint) which corresponds directly with your entire value chain.
Carbon Footprint of your Product
The Product Carbon Footprint covers all climate-relevant emissions for the entire life cycle of a product or service (“from the cradle to the grave”).
Climate Neutral Event
When calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CO 2 -Balance) of an event, all the emissions from relevant greenhouse gas which occur during this specific event are being analyzed and calculated by us.
BEAD - Smart Energy Manager
BEAD – your smart energy manager is an IOT device equipped with various sensors that optimizes building operation using specially developed analysis software which can save up to 20% of energy used in your building.
Carbon Offsetting
With carbon offsetting, also known as “climate compensation”, CO2 emissions reaching the atmosphere at a specific location A are saved or compensated by supporting a climate protection project at a specific location B.
Carbon Insetting
When we consider carbon insetting, CO2 compensation (also called CO2 binding) becomes part of the corporate value chain, or compensates for CO2 emissions within the production chain of a company or corporation.
Sustainability Report
Sustainability management involves the integration of a sustainability strategy and is based on the following theme: economic efficiency with ecological responsibility and social commitment.
