Network for Climate Action and Sustainability: Achieving More Together
Climate action and reporting with substance: Science, auditing, and practice for results that hold up.
Why we work as a network
Sustainability in the SME sector has many facets. We are experts in CO2 footprinting, software, and forest projects. When in-depth specialized knowledge is required, we work hand-in-hand with partners who complement our expertise.
Since 2023, natureOffice has been a proud member of CERTANIA Holding GmbH. This international alliance provides us with the stability and backbone of a large group, while we remain the agile, personal team you know.
For you, this means maximum security: Our own business processes are audited by the accounting firm PWC—a testament to the professionalism and integrity with which we operate.
Together with our partners within the group, we form specialized competence centers covering everything from forest science research to sound sustainability solutions.
Direct Access to Expertise: Our Group Partners
Focused expertise for your objectives
A network is only as good as the value it delivers
and the results it achieves for you. Within CERTANIA, we pool specialized knowledge that goes far beyond carbon footprinting.
We draw on our sister companies specifically when your project requires additional expertise:
Terra Institute GmbH
Strategy consulting for future-proof businesses
Terra Institute is our partner when sustainability needs to be more than just a report.
Their experts help you develop a clear strategy and anchor it firmly within your organization. From materiality analysis to engaging employees and management, Terra ensures that your commitment is substantial and resilient for the future.
DFGE GmbH
Scientific Precision and ESG Ratings
DFGE is our partner for complex data and international standards. When your company requires in-depth emission calculations or participates in ratings such as CDP and EcoVadis, DFGE provides the scientific substance.
With specialized software solutions and expertise in supply chain analysis, DFGE ensures that your sustainability metrics are robust and comparable on a global scale.
Reporting and Compliance: Digital Paths and Simple Processes
To ensure that regulatory requirements remain manageable for SMEs, we rely on digital solutions that reduce complexity and create clarity – for reporting and beyond.

Analysis Tools for Compliance and Corporate Management
Long Story Short is our partner for a straightforward check-up of your business. The team offers a variety of digital analyses – from the VSME Reality Check to various compliance topics and entrepreneurial self-assessments.
These tools help you clarify quickly and without unnecessary paperwork where your company currently stands and which requirements actually matter to you.
Carbon+Alt+Delete
Software Solution for Emission Calculation
For precise CO₂ accounting, we utilize the Carbon+Alt+Delete platform. The tool digitalizes data collection according to the GHG Protocol. The result: transparent, audit-proof metrics that form the solid foundation for your sustainability reports.
Science and Forests: Our Professional Roots
Climate action must be biologically and methodically sound. That is why we work closely with leading universities to continuously and scientifically verify our projects and calculations.
Rottenburg University of Applied Forest Sciences (HFR)
The Forest Science Foundation
Through regular exchange, latest findings on sustainable forest management and CO₂ sequestration flow directly into our methodology.
This ensures that our work always corresponds to the current state of forest science.
Trier University of Applied Sciences
Expertise in the Recycling Project
Trier University supports us with expertise in environmental planning and sustainable development, particularly within our recycling project. This collaboration helps us process complex ecological contexts methodically and align our climate solutions with current environmental standards
University of Lomé
Regional Partner
For our projects in West Africa, the University of Lomé is our scientific anchor on the ground. Together with experts in Togo, we evaluate the ecological progress in PROJECT TOGO.
This knowledge transfer ensures the quality of reforestation and long-term biodiversity in the region.
F4F - Forests4Farming gGmbH
Johann Thaler
Johann Thaler has accompanied us since the very beginning of PROJECT TOGO. He has professionally guided the path from the first Carbon-Fix certificate to the Gold Standard.
Today, his expertise continues to ensure the high quality and methodological correctness of our forest projects.
forestsolution
Martin Seitz & Martin Opitz
Forestsolution supports us in verifying our regular forest inventories. This ensures that the CO₂ sequestration of our projects is accurately measured and documented according to strict forestry criteria.
More Than Just Trees: Impact on the Ground
Climate action only works if the local population benefits. In our projects in West Africa, we therefore work closely with partners who focus on social infrastructure and sustainable agriculture.
eco-cent e.V.
The Strength of Sustainability
Through the association eco-cent e.V., we implement social projects that directly benefit the people in our project areas. This ranges from building wells and schools to providing medical care.
This is how climate action turns into real quality of life.
