Sustainability & Ethics
Working materials and hosting
Our laptops and monitors are recycled equipment from AfB gemeinnützige GmbH in Berlin. With Raidboxes, we have a secure and climate-positive WordPress hosting. Their data centres are located in Germany and are DSGVO compliant. They guarantee to run on green electricity from hydropower and they also plant a tree for every WordPress site hosted.
Bank Accounts
All of the foundation's bank accounts are at the GLS Gemeinschaftsbank eG. With them, we share our social, ethic and ecological standards. It is highly important to us that even side issue like banking are realised sustainably, and that financial investment in any taboo sector is strictly excluded.
Rental houses
The rental houses owned by the foundation are mainly renovated to be energy efficient and use eco-electricity and eco-gas from Greenpeace. To find out more about our ethical principles in renting these homes, click here.
