Since 2023, we have stopped sending Christmas cards to our customers and partners. The shipping itself is a major burden on the environment. The cards are often decorated with gold or glitter, which makes recycling difficult. Furthermore, the cards are usually thrown away in the new year.
Climate forrest
Together with the municipality of Nersingen, SPHEREA launched a tree planting campaign in October 2021. During this campaign, 1,635 trees were planted on an area of 0.5 hectares. This enables around 6,000 tons of CO2 to be bound per year. This forest also offers protection for wild animals and insects gain habitat.
Flower field
In cooperation with a farmer in Unterfahlheim, Neu-Ulm district, SPHEREA has leased a 4,400 square meter field. A flower meadow will be sown on this field to bind CO2 and at the same time provide food for insects and shelter for animals.
Climate certificates
In cooperation with the Alliance for Development and Climate Foundation, SPHEREA supports various climate certificates that are part of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG). The purchase of these climate certificates will support the following projects: VCS forest project Uruguay, UN CER energy production from hydropower Uganda, UN CER wind project India.
Environmentally friendly printer
Our central printer has been replaced with a more environmentally friendly printer. We also use environmentally friendly printing paper.
Job Bike
Spherea has had the Job Bike model since 2023. Here, bicycles can be leased easily and inexpensively through the employer. The bike can also be used privately and is simply billed monthly through the salary.
Electro mobility
Since 2021, Spherea has replaced 3 out of 5 company vehicles with electric vehicles.
Blood donation campaign
On October 16, 2023, a blood donation campaign with a small first aid course with the German Red Cross took place for the first time in the Spherea premises. 66 employees and relatives have agreed to donate their blood.
Complaint mechanism
Don’t look away – Spherea has had a complaints procedure in place since 2023. Complaints about violations of human rights or environmental aspects at Spherea and along the entire supply chain can be reported easily and anonymously via our website. Other channels are available by phone, email or post.
Cooperation with Universities and Schools
Spherea is always interested in working with universities and schools. We regularly offer excursions where we introduce ourselves as a company. Depending on the area of interest, this can include engineering activities, sustainability or even business management. In 2023, we will support a local school financially with a measuring device and the associated know-how.
