GOOD EXAMPLES · CORPORATE CONTRIBUTION NETWORK
WHY WE SHOW GOOD EXAMPLES
Because taking responsibility is easier when you can see what it looks like.
"We want to make a contribution" is a good start. The next question is more important: to what exactly?
Good examples turn an abstract intention into a concrete idea. They show that a contribution can help support a water system, bicycles, school desks, a mill, beehives or long-term forest conservation.
This is not intended to make any company appear larger than its contribution warrants. It is meant to encourage others to choose a task that suits their own company and can be clearly and traceably defined.
THE FRAME
WHAT WE SHOW
Who is supporting which task.
The company, project component, location, and context are specifically named.
WE DO NOT SHOW THIS
A judgment on the whole enterprise.
The examples do not constitute a ranking, an award, or a seal of sustainability.
WHAT FOLLOWS FROM THIS
The post may be visible.
However, it is not offset against your own carbon footprint and does not confer any climate status.
WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS HELP MAKE POSSIBLE
Not every post looks the same. That is exactly where its strength lies.
Companies can start where a specific task, their own corporate world and local needs come together in a meaningful way.
SIX CONCRETE STORIES
Not because it results in a sustainability badge. But because it clearly demonstrates which task a company has voluntarily supported.
WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT & COOPERATIVES
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
Technology creates scope for action where people are already taking responsibility together.
WATER & COMMUNITY
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
Some foundations flow from a well. Others arise when people have a place to come together.
ANIMALS & BEEKEEPING
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
A contribution seems particularly credible if it connects with your own corporate world and is needed on site.
MOBILITY & PROJECT LOGISTICS
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
A logistics company helps to make project work more agile too – in the most literal sense.
EDUCATION & TRAINING
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
Anyone who develops seating solutions can establish a very direct link between their own expertise and specific needs through school furniture.
REGIONAL FOREST ECOLOGY
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
Regional origin becomes regional responsibility – not as an advertising promise, but as concrete support.
ALL GOOD EXAMPLES
Many companies. Different tasks. One shared thought.
Contribute voluntarily. Do not offset. Specifically name what is being supported.

WHAT ALL EXAMPLES HAVE IN COMMON
The contributions shown take place outside the company's own value chain. They do not alter either a CCF or a PCF and do not neutralise any balance sheet emissions.
Therefore, what is documented is not which climate status a company has supposedly achieved, but which concrete task it has helped to support.
01
No ranking
Contributions are not evaluated against each other.
02
No seal
The nomination is not an award for the company.
03
No offsetting
The contribution is not deducted from accounted emissions.
04
Specific information
The company, project module, and context remain traceable.
WHICH EXAMPLE COULD BECOME YOURS?
Together, we will clarify which project task suits your company, how the contribution is documented, and how you can talk about it without claiming more than what is actually happening.
