CO₂ work for companies ⤵ Software that calculates – projects that make an impact – numbers you can trust

We’re not just humanly precise – with us, now:

Everyone wants numbers.

But who’s supposed to make sense of it all?

Anyone who produces something gets a lot of questions.

From customers, partners, auditors – everyone wants numbers. Fast, accurate and preferably yesterday. But where do you even start? Every department calculates differently, every requirement sounds like its own language, and in the end you get an Excel sheet nobody truly understands. Carbon footprints are considered complicated. Often, that’s true. Not because people lack knowledge, but because they lack structure – and because, in recent years, too many standards, tools and consulting approaches have been added on top.

What was meant to provide guidance has often made the calculations even harder. We are consultants, yes. But with a different goal: reducing complexity. Always have. Especially with product footprints.

Not every gram of CO₂ needs to be dissected if it means losing sight of the big picture. Instead of pseudo-precision, we value clarity, comparability and real impact. Because in voluntary climate action – the space where companies don’t have to act but choose to – it should be easy again.

In times of the digital product passport, a feeling isn’t enough. Numbers are.

You want to know where and which emissions your product leaves behind – during production, transport or use?

Our software ecozoom knows. And shows you, step by step, across the entire life cycle, if you want it to.
ecozoom calculates CO₂ emissions together with you, creates labels and connects everything with your marketing. This turns every small footprint into a story your customers (and your customers’ customers) can understand.
And if you're thinking bigger:

We also handle corporate footprints, decarbonization strategies, life cycle assessments, resource efficiency models, sustainability reporting, labeling and tracking solutions, and training for your team.

And we’re really good at it.

CO₂ belongs on every data sheet.

The future of product information is climate-relevant. With ecozoom.

CO₂ footprints aren’t a mystery when you have the right tool.

Our software ecozoom does exactly what many systems promise – just in a way you can actually understand. It brings all data together in one place: products, processes, energy, logistics.
Where Excel sheets and endless follow-up questions used to circle, structure suddenly appears.

Numbers become comparable, developments become visible – and decisions become easier.

In times of the digital product passport, CO₂ emissions are turning into a product detail like any other: 
transparent, verifiable and part of responsibility along the entire supply chain.

ecozoom doesn’t just calculate emissions. It shows what they mean. For individual products, for your entire company – and for your external communication. Because climate management only works when it becomes part of everyday life. Not as a project, but as a process that creates orientation.

And what happens to the emissions?

O₂ offsetting isn’t indulgence trading. Criticism of compensation often comes from misunderstanding. Or: from the wrong debate to the right solution.

CO₂ offsetting is a simple idea.

Emissions that cannot be avoided are compensated —
➔ no trick,
➔ no excuse,
but a pragmatic way to take responsibility.

That’s exactly how it was intended in the Kyoto Protocol
as a global principle that creates impact where it’s needed most.

But then came too many standards, too many interpretations, too many headlines. The debate drifted off course: from impact to wording, from projects to paragraphs.

And public perception drifted with it. Media coverage turned individual cases into a general verdict.

Of course, there are projects that deserve a closer look — as in any other sector.

As in any other sector. But instead of differentiating, everything was generalized.

Hardly anyone reports on functioning projects, real impact and measurable benefits —
even though they’ve long been reality.

The vast majority work cleanly, transparently and with real climate impact.

What was designed as a tool for climate action became a flashpoint. Indulgence trading, greenwashing, number-fudging — the wrong terms for a fundamentally sound idea.

Time to give compensation its meaning back by genuinely contributing to climate projects.

Reduction remains the goal. Contributing to climate projects helps us get there.

We believe that CO₂ offsetting should return to what it once was: a clear and comprehensible step on the path toward real climate benefit.

With carbon accounting, reasoning and real impact – instead of promises.

Our software ecozoom makes this tangible. It brings emissions calculation, labeling and project offsetting together in one system that doesn’t claim more than it can deliver. ecozoom shows what your product emits – and what you do about it.

Transparency that doesn’t intimidate, but strengthens. And while others get lost in details, we help you highlight what truly matters: your performance, your contribution, your decision not to gloss over emissions – but to offset them, clearly and honestly.

This is how offsetting becomes what it was meant to be: a pragmatic, measurable part of real climate action.

Not more – and certainly not less.

Unser aller PROJECT TOGO

PROJECT TOGO ist mehr als ein Aufforstungsprojekt. Es ist ein ganzheitliches Nature-based Solution Vorhaben in Westafrika, das ökologische Regeneration mit echter sozialer Entwicklung verbindet – transparent, verifiziert und nah an den Menschen vor Ort.

Seit über einem Jahrzehnt zeigt unser Projekt in Togo, dass wirksamer Klimaschutz nur gemeinsam mit der lokalen Bevölkerung funktioniert. Wir stellen ganze Ökosysteme wieder her und verbinden Aufforstung, Biodiversität und Bodenqualität mit messbaren Fortschritten in Bildung und Infrastruktur.

Transparenz durch Verifizierung. 
Wirkung ist bei uns keine Auslegungssache. Ob bei der regelmäßigen Bauminventur durch unabhängige Auditoren oder dem offiziellen Besuch des deutschen Botschafters – PROJECT TOGO steht für nachweisbare Qualität. Wir zeigen die Realität vor Ort: von der eigenen Baumschule bis zum geschützten Naturwald.

Echter Social Impact. 
Klimaschutz bedeutet für uns Lebensqualität. Mit dem Bau von Pumpbrunnen für sauberes Trinkwasser und Initiativen wie der Fahrrad-Spendenaktion des ecocent e.V. schaffen wir eine nachhaltige Basis für die Menschen.

So wird Kompensation zu einem ehrlichen, messbaren Teil von echtem Klimaschutz. Nicht mehr – und ganz sicher nicht weniger.

Our shared PROJECT TOGO

PROJECT TOGO is our long-term initiative in West Africa. It brings together reforestation, biodiversity, soil health and education in a project that creates impact step by step — close to the people and close to the realities on the ground.

A project that grows — just like the trees there.

PROJECT TOGO combines climate action with benefits for people and environment.

What grows there is not a single element but a combination of reforestation, biodiversity, education and improved living conditions.

A project that uses nature as part of the solution.

PROJECT TOGO is one of the Nature-based Solutions.

Approaches where ecological + social impact come together: reforestation, healthy soils, water, biodiversity and improved living conditions.

An approach that supports several goals at once.

That’s why PROJECT TOGO is considered a contribution to several UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In total, it meets 12 of the 17 SDGs — from ecological foundations to tangible social improvements in daily life on the ground.

Well known in expert circles — far beyond the CO₂ field.

PROJECT TOGO has been recognised for many years in various professional and political contexts.

This is mainly because the project has shown clear, measurable impact over the years — both ecological and social.

An easy route to school is anything but easy for many children in Togo.

In Togo, for many children the hardest part doesn’t start in the classroom, but already on the way there.

Holistic Climate Action: 
From Carbon Footprinting to Our Own Forestry Project

Climate action needs substance and transparency. natureOffice supports companies in implementing sustainability honestly and measurably. Our focus is on professional carbon footprinting – from the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) for your entire company to the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for individual products. We guide you in creating sound sustainability reports (e.g., according to the VSME standard) and help you anchor your commitment credibly in your sustainability communication.

What sets us apart is the direct connection between consulting and our own project work. With PROJECT TOGO, we operate our own reforestation project according to the Gold Standard, which goes far beyond mere climate protection. For us, “more than just trees” means creating real quality of life on the ground – by building wells and schools and promoting local infrastructure. Whether through the acquisition of carbon credits or the development of individual climate action strategies: We offer solutions that combine ecological responsibility with social impact.
