CLIMATE ASSOCIATION FOR SME'S

Lower costs - save resources - protect the climate

Doing business with responsibility and foresight: SPORT 2000 is part of the climate network together with 14 other groups. This innovative climate protection project was brought into being by the SME group Germany in cooperation with the National Climate Protection Initiative of the Federal Environment Ministry. The common goal is to win over small and medium-sized companies to deal efficiently with the climate, energy and resources, to reduce costs and to systematically raise awareness of these issues. This should save 50,000 tons of CO₂ within two years.
