Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Admincontrol believes that businesses have an important role to play in contributing to social justice and combating climate change. The company has therefore focused on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and engaged in green initiatives and various aid projects over the years. Admincontrol is piloting a project reporting on our annual emissions. This will give us a good indication of how we are doing as a company, and what measures we need to take to avoid negative effects on the climate. All offices in the Admincontrol group report on annual emissions such as office energy, travel and waste, and assess how we can do better in the future. Last year Admincontrol started to become more conscious about waste management, purchases, and how to cut down on travel once the world starts getting back to normal. Admincontrol Clean Teach Initiative The climate challenge means we need to think outside of the box and find sustainable measures as we head into the future. According to Our Common Future report, sustainable development is a development that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. In terms of both time and finances, limited resources are among the many challenges faced by start-ups. At Admincontrol, we see that many of them use our data room solution for performing due diligence in fund-raising processes. To support start-ups who work with Cleantech, we are offering data rooms at a low cost. This offer is available to all start-ups that meet the criteria set out in the EU Taxonomy. Key sustainability figures from 2021 11 519 - Total GHG emissions (tCO2e) 0.95 - Total GHG emissions per FTE (tCO2e) 56 - Employee engagement (eNPS score) 0 - Incidents related to non-compliance
