We do what we say — and we do it properly. Our software does what it’s supposed to do. Our projects deliver what they promise. And our results can be traced and verified.
natureOffice has been around since 2008.
Back then, when CO₂ suddenly appeared everywhere and An Inconvenient Truth was in cinemas, one thing was obvious:
We needed people who get started – not people who keep debating.
Andreas Weckwert, from Frankfurt, politically alert but allergic to big showmanship, did exactly that. He simply began.
Companies were talking about responsibility, but no one knew how to measure it.
Sustainability wasn’t part of business or everyday life yet.
So Andreas brought Alex in – who built the software that didn’t exist.
And Björn, who made the topic visible.
It all started with one decision: start instead of wait.
That’s how natureOffice was born.
Pragmatic.
And that’s exactly how we still work today.
natureOffice gibt’s seit 2008.
Damals, als CO₂ plötzlich überall Thema wurde und Eine unbequeme Wahrheit im Kino lief, war klar:
Es braucht Leute, die anfangen – nicht welche, die diskutieren. Andreas Weckwert, Frankfurter, politisch wach, aber ohne Lust auf große Show, hat genau das getan. Er hat einfach angefangen.
Unternehmen redeten über Verantwortung, aber niemand wusste, wie man sie misst.
Nachhaltigkeit war weit entfernt von Wirtschaft und Alltag. Also holte Andreas Alex dazu – der die Software baute, die fehlte. Und Björn, der das Thema sichtbar machte.
Es begann schlicht mit der Entscheidung: anfangen statt abwarten.
So entstand natureOffice.
Pragmatisch.
Und genau so arbeiten wir bis heute.
Honest in substance. Clear in execution.
How we do things.
We don’t talk in circles. If something doesn’t work, we say so.
If something is too complicated, we simplify it.
CO₂ accounting, compensation, software, projects – that’s our everyday work.
We don’t do it because it’s trendy, but because it’s needed. And we do it in a way companies can actually use.
Some people find us uncomfortable. That’s fine. We don’t need to please everyone – the result is what counts.
We’re not just precise on a human level.
Our software does what it’s supposed to do. Our projects deliver what they promise.
Our results are traceable.
CO₂ accounting isn’t a theoretical construct. It’s not about getting lost in formulas, but about understanding what the numbers really mean. We work accurately, without overthinking. We pay attention, without disappearing into details.
We aim to understand – not to impress.
We do our work because it’s needed – not because it sells well.
We calculate, verify, document – and make sure every result stays traceable.
We leave big words to others. We care about what works.
natureOffice stands for solid work, reliable numbers, and projects that deliver what they promise.
Nothing more, nothing less. And if something’s unclear, we clarify it. If something’s missing, we add it.
In the end, only one thing matters: that companies can actually move forward with our results.
We were here before it became a trend.
Because responsibility isn’t a trend. For us, sustainability isn’t a label — it’s work. You have to understand it, measure it and explain it — otherwise it stays theoretical. We don’t talk about values; we act on them. We prefer simple over inflated. Traceable over perfect. And if something doesn’t fit, we say so.
We build tools that work and projects that deliver what they promise.
We make CO₂ visible, measurable and explainable — so results become more than just numbers.
We were here before everyone started talking about it.
And we’re still here, because without us things would be a little less accurate.
So you can quickly see where you stand.
Founded in 2008, we were among the first to build CO₂ accounting and compensation seriously in the German-speaking world. Long before it became standard, we implemented CCF and PCF in practice — not just on paper.
We work independently. That matters, because trust isn’t negotiable.
Our work follows established standards, clear methods and certifications you can trace back. We know our PROJECT TOGO first-hand — the forest and the social side. We built it and have been working on it for years, instead of just managing certificates.
We are part of the industry, but not driven by it. We work in a way that lets companies rely on our numbers.
Why our work differs from others
We live what we do.
Our own climate project in Togo has been with us since the early natureOffice days.
→ Most providers sell projects. We developed one. A project with social, ecological and economic depth. Togo isn’t a “product” It’s a long-term effort we’ve been building, measuring, financing and improving from the beginning. Very few can say the same.
And we’ve been fully remote since 2014 — long before it became common.
→ The CO₂ sector is surprisingly traditional: open-plan offices, travel, presence culture.
We were where others arrived in 2020 out of necessity — ten years earlier. For us, that shows conviction, not reaction.
Our combination is unusual: craftsmanship + software + projects.
→ In this sector, you’re usually either a consultancy or a software provider or a project developer. We’re all three — and at a serious level.
Our work culture is unusually clear and unvarnished.
→ Many in the sector communicate in big terms: impact, transformation, paradigm shifts.
We communicate:
precisely, calmly, honestly.
In the sustainability world, this clarity is almost rebellious.
We don’t treat CO₂ accounting as a theory — but as operational work.
→ Many consultancies sell methods, workshops, templates.
We deliver: real data, traceable calculations, results companies can work with immediately.
That makes a big difference.
We were among the first in the German-speaking world to build CO₂ accounting and compensation seriously.
→ Not nostalgia — experience.
Over the years, this has shaped a way of working that carries us: clear methodology, long client relationships, and results that don’t follow trends.
We build software from practice.
ecozoom isn’t a developer product. It grew from real calculations, real client situations and the data gaps that appear along the way.
→ Very few providers are this close to everyday reality.
That’s why we offer both standard solutions for different industries and highly individual models — including complex mass-flow calculations for specific clients.
We are not “greenwashing-tolerant.”
→ Many providers are careful — very careful — sometimes too careful.
We’re more direct, sometimes less diplomatic: if a claim isn’t clean, we say so. If something doesn’t fit, we name it clearly.
Because companies can only communicate with confidence when their statements are solid.
In our industry, it’s common to present the whole team online: portraits, role profiles, little bios. It looks transparent, but is often more staging than information.
People change, teams grow, responsibilities shift — yet photos remain online for years.
We intentionally don’t do that. Not out of secrecy, but out of principle.
Privacy matters to us. And we believe competence isn’t conveyed through portraits, but through conversation, collaboration, and the way we work.
Clients get to know us where it actually creates value: in meetings, in the project, in decisions. Not in a gallery.
Teams are never perfect. Ours isn’t either. And we don’t pretend otherwise.
We work well because we know what we can do — and what we can’t. Because we talk to each other. And because we don’t need to hide mistakes to be professional.
This honesty doesn’t make us vague — it makes us reliable. You feel it in the collaboration, not on a team page.
To us, this is more honest. And closer to reality than any polished team section could ever be.
Wir erfinden das Rad nicht neu, wir nutzen die global anerkannten Normen. Unsere Beratungen und unsere Software ecozoom basieren strikt auf dem Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) sowie den Normen ISO 14064 (für Unternehmen) und ISO 14067 (für Produkte). Das garantiert Ihnen, dass Ihre CO₂-Bilanz international vergleichbar ist und jedem Audit standhält. Wir arbeiten methodisch sauber, damit Ihre Ergebnisse keine Momentaufnahme bleiben, sondern eine strategische Basis bilden.
Weil wir Ihre Zeit und Ihr Geld lieber in Ergebnisse stecken als in Glasfassaden und Kicker-Tische. Wir arbeiten seit 2014 komplett remote – nicht weil wir müssen, sondern weil es Sinn ergibt.
Ein Berater, der für ein zweistündiges Meeting quer durch Deutschland fliegt, um über Klimaschutz zu reden, hat das Problem nicht verstanden. Wir minimieren unseren eigenen Fußabdruck konsequent und nutzen die Zeit lieber für die präzise CO₂-Bilanzierung und die Arbeit in unserem PROJECT TOGO. Kompetenz braucht keine Bühne, sondern Substanz.
Weil wir keine Lust auf Folien-Schlachten und Standard-Templates haben. Bei uns arbeiten Sie nicht mit Junior-Beratern, sondern mit den Leuten, die das Handwerk seit 2008 beherrschen.
Wir sind unabhängig, inhabergeführt und selbst Mittelstand. Das bedeutet: Wir verstehen die operativen Zwänge unserer Kunden. Wir liefern keine theoretischen Konzepte, die in der Schublade landen, sondern CO₂-Bilanzen und Software-Lösungen, die in der Praxis funktionieren. Wir sind nah dran, direkt und – wenn es der Sache dient – auch mal unbequem.
Built on experience. Designed for everyday work. So CO₂ accounting doesn’t become more complicated than it needs to be.
ecozoom grew out of our own CO₂ work – real data, real projects, real gaps. That’s why the software fits the situations companies actually face. It wasn’t invented in theory but shaped by practice.
ecozoom doesn’t add complexity — it creates clarity. The software guides users through the steps that matter for a CO₂ balance. No nested menus, no unnecessary features. Companies see what they enter, what it means and what comes next.
The calculation logic behind ecozoom is based on what we’ve applied daily since 2008. A clear, reliable methodology that holds up even when data is incomplete or decisions need to be transparent. Companies can rely on the results — every time.
ecozoom covers standard processes — and goes further. When companies need special requirements, complex data flows or individual models, the software can be extended. It grows with the task instead of slowing it down.
Everything that matters: new projects, new ideas, and new steps in climate action.
For over 15 years, natureOffice has stood for climate action that combines ecological integrity with corporate pragmatism. As an owner-managed company with deep roots in project development, we have evolved from a pioneer into a holistic solution provider for SMEs (Mittelstand). Since 2024, we have been a proud member of the CERTANIA Group, which strengthens our position as an independent expert and offers our clients maximum security in the auditing of their ESG data.
Our unique selling point is the combination of strategic consulting (CCF, PCF, CSRD reporting) and on-the-ground operational implementation. With PROJECT TOGO, we operate one of the few reforestation projects worldwide under direct scientific supervision by universities such as the University of Lomé or HFR Rottenburg. We do not see ourselves as mere certificate brokers, but as partners for a genuine sustainability transformation. Our work is built on transparency, scientific excellence, and the firm belief that effective climate action must always include a social component – for a future worth living worldwide.
