We have set out on the path to becoming CO2 neutral.

We obtained a very detailed picture of our CO₂footprint for the years 2020 and 2021. In this several-month process we learned a great deal about our carbon emissions, especially the indirect emissions and value chain emissions (also called scope 3 emissions).₂consumption was important to us. We therefore assessed 2020 and 2021 in detail. Including all Scope 3 emissions, we as a law firm have generated 2649 tons of CO₂ since then.

This analysis and transparency is just the starting point for ARQIS.

But this is only the first step. In the direction of NetZero, we want to steadily consume less CO₂until we no longer need to compensate at all. Reduction before compensation. To this end, we have founded the ARQIS GreenTeam , which will permanently drive forward small and large improvement measures. As a service provider, we still have it comparatively easy here, but even for us, complete reduction is an immense challenge. Decarbonization will be a huge project, as we can already tell.
