ABOUT NATUREOFFICE

What
companies
do for the
climate should
be self-explanatory.

Since 2008, we have been combining carbon accounting, proprietary software and practical project experience. To ensure that data leads to comprehensible decisions – and that commitment leads to communication that does not claim more than can actually be proven.

Since 2008 · Translating CO₂ data into decisions

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Big promises change little. Good foundations do.

We believe that corporate climate action does not need the biggest possible claim. It needs reliable data, traceable decisions, and the courage to openly show what has been achieved – and what has not yet.

That is why we do not start with a label or a message. We start with the question of what a company really wants to know, change or explain.

Don't claim more than the data supports. But also don't show less than what is actually being done.

OUR STORY

Not born out of a theory. Created from tasks that had to be solved.

Our history is no proof that we know everything. But it explains why software, consulting and project practice belong together for us.

2008

Making CO₂ calculable

natureOffice is starting with carbon footprinting for companies and products. The aim: results must not only be generated, but also remain traceable.

ECOZOOM

Recurring questions become software

From real data gaps, numerous calculations and customer requirements, ecozoom is created – as a tool for daily CO₂ work.

2010 / 2012

Long-term on site

Since 2010 we have been working in Togo; in 2012, PROJECT TOGO officially launched. Together with local partners, we combine natural forest reforestation with social and economic projects.

2023

Part of the CERTANIA Holding

The new partnership expands our professional exchange and creates space to further develop our services and our software.

TODAY

From data point to contextualisation

We combine carbon accounting, software, reduction planning, reporting, climate communication and voluntary climate contributions – with clear boundaries between the individual services.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Not a poster of values. A promise of work.

At natureOffice, people are allowed to be different. What matters is what customers, partners, and colleagues can rely on in their day-to-day work.

ATTITUDE REQUIRES CRAFTSMANSHIP

Our work should be easy to follow. Not just sound good.

01

Accounting on a documented basis

For CCFs and PCFs, we document the assessment object, system boundaries, data status, sources, assumptions and exclusions in a traceable manner.

02

Accounting practice software

ecozoom was born out of real projects. The software structures data, calculations and updates for day-to-day business operations.

03

Results you can work with

We contextualise numbers and prepare them for internal decisions, reduction planning, reporting, and credible climate communication.

04

Clear separation instead of a broad overall assertion

We document voluntary climate contributions and project support separately. They do not alter either the CCF or the PCF and are not a substitute for reduction.

Different companies. Different tasks. The same standard.

References say more when it becomes clear what we actually worked on.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK

Behind every number are people who ask questions.

Good software reduces workload. Good collaboration takes questions seriously. Our team combines methodical knowledge, technical development, practical project experience and the ability to make complex connections easy to understand.

We also call it out when data is missing, an assertion goes too far, or a smaller next step makes more sense than a major project.

ALSO IN OURSELVES

Those who support others should also look at themselves.

Not everything is perfect straight away. But we want to act in a transparent way, get better, and take responsibility where we have influence.

01

Avoid travel

Digital voting first; rail instead of flight if travel is necessary.

02

Continue using what is already there

Our office is located in a former farmhouse – utilising existing building structures instead of a new build.

03

Use resources consciously

100 per cent green electricity from the Bürgerwerke, LED lighting, digital business mail and recycled paper.

04

Make cooperation fair

Flexible working hours, further training and a respectful working environment in Germany and Togo.

A project is not proof of everything. But it shows how we understand responsibility.
