The Forest
Climate protection and sustainability require commitment and the right attitude from us all. As an enabler of energy efficient living, we develop smart technologies and services that make it very easy to save energy and conserve resources. Thirty-six per cent of Europe’s greenhouse-gas emissions are attributable to buildings, particularly their heating systems. ista wants to make a key contribution to climate protection so that future generations can inhabit a healthy, beautiful planet. We’ve therefore set ambitious climate targets.We aim to cut our carbon emissions to net zero by 2030. It’s worth mentioning that ista’s own operations have been carbon-neutral since June 2021: we now offset emissions that we can’t yet avoid by supporting certified climate-protection projects. But we would like to move more. That is why we are committed to social issues, planting trees and enabling our stakeholders to do the same together with us through our corporate forest.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
