Commitment to sustainability
Ecologically, the world today faces enormous challenges in the areas of climate change, water, energy, biodiversity and agriculture. We consider it essential to act in an ecologically responsible manner, to appreciate the importance of natural capital and to learn to better understand the connections between resources.

Strengthening reforestation
We are intensifying our environmental efforts through our partnership with PLANTED, a Cologne-based impact startup that supports companies in implementing their sustainability strategy. In addition to a software solution for CO2 management, PLANTED focuses on planting trees in Germany and supports international climate protection projects, particularly in the areas of sustainable energy generation. "The organization attaches great importance to transparency and quality by providing regular updates on its projects. We have already had positive experiences with local tree planting projects and are committed to restoring German forests that are suffering from deforestation, monoculture, disease and pest infestation.
Forests play a central role in climate protection as they act as important carbon reservoirs. Reforestation is crucial for reducing CO₂ levels in the atmosphere. Forests also offer numerous ecological benefits such as erosion control, air filtration and temperature equalization. We therefore actively promote reforestation and offer companies the opportunity to get involved in environmental protection locally. We are also helping to tackle the climate crisis with these measures, while supporting the preservation of biodiversity and improving the quality of life.
"We see it as our responsibility to make a proactive contribution to tackling the climate crisis. In the future, we are planning long-term collaborations that will make an active contribution to environmental and climate protection in Germany by planting trees and reforesting forests."

Clean drinking water for all
As a supporting member of the non-profit organization Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli, we have entered into a partnership to improve access to clean drinking water and sanitation in developing countries. This alliance is part of our ongoing efforts to take social responsibility and promote sustainable practices.
We make regular contributions to Viva con Agua, which flow into the association's WASH projects (water, sanitation, hygiene). These projects, which are carried out in various countries such as South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia and Nepal, aim to sustainably improve the living conditions of the local population. The partnership with Viva Con Agua is an example of how agt is fulfilling its corporate responsibility and strengthening its sustainability strategy at the same time.
By actively participating in and promoting events and projects organized by Viva Con Agua, we help to raise awareness of water projects and reach a wider public. The cooperation also enables us to constantly explore new perspectives and approaches to sustainable action. This promotes a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within the company.
