At BeyondSurfing, we are committed to environmental protection and sustainability. Moving forward, we aim to act even more responsibly and with a greater focus on the future.
As part of our commitment, we critically assess our behavior and strive to use resources more efficiently and thoughtfully.
A key priority for us is to ensure that our entire online presence at BeyondSurfing is climate-neutral. To achieve this, we have joined the global initiative by ClimatePartner.
You can transparently view the CO2 emissions our website generates and the project we support at this link.
By joining forces with over 5,000 companies worldwide, we contribute to sustainable climate and environmental protection projects.
How can BeyondSurfing be climate-neutral?
Websites are considered climate-neutral when their CO2 emissions are offset.
How does our website generate CO2 emissions?
CO2 emissions from web browsing mainly come from electricity consumption:
- by our servers,
- during data transmission,
- and from users’ devices.
How does CO2 offsetting work?
Based on our monthly page views, we have calculated the CO2 emissions of our website with ClimatePartner and offset them through a certified climate protection project. This way, we compensate for the CO2 emissions generated by our readers and us.
Which project does BeyondSurfing support?
We support ClimatePartner’s exclusive climate protection project in Virunga National Park, DR Congo. A small run-of-river hydroelectric plant supplies households and businesses with electricity, promoting economic development and reducing the reliance on charcoal from the national park as the main energy source. This helps preserve valuable habitats, including those of the last free-living mountain gorillas. Learn more at www.climatepartner.com/1072.
