Corporate Sustainability Handprint at GIZ field in Frankfurt

Corporate Sustainability Handprint at GIZ field in Frankfurt Outside Germany, GIZ teams use the Corporate Sustainability Handprint (CSH), a management tool that tracks both footprint (energy, water, travel) and handprint (active contributions such as solar arrays, carpooling, and fair procurement) in Frankfurt. Sustainability officers embed CSH targets in job roles so field offices contribute to the company-wide Sustainability Programme. What you can do - NGOs and development agencies: adapt the footprint/handprint split for your own country offices, track consumption and positive projects side by side - Municipal climate teams: borrow CSH indicators for embassies, twin-town partnerships, or international NGO hubs in your city - Workplace green teams: list one measurable handprint project per quarter (bike racks, PV, reusable event kit) How it works Country offices report CSH categories aligned with climate, procurement, and biodiversity goals. Handprint projects make visible what staff build, not only what they consume. Why it matters Corporate sustainability sticks when offices compete on contributions, not just compliance spreadsheets.

Earn Klima-Taler for everyday climate wins in Frankfurt

Earn Klima-Taler for everyday climate wins in Frankfurt Frankfurt joined the nationwide Klima-Taler network in late 2025. The app tracks CO₂ you avoid by cycling, riding transit, saving energy, or shopping mindfully, then awards one digital Klima-Taler for every five kilograms saved. Tokens can be redeemed for local discounts, free museum visits, or pool entry as partner offers grow. Since June 2026, BäderBetriebe Frankfurt accept seven Klima-Taler for one free swim per month (basic time slot at some Erlebnisbäder). What you can do - Download the app and join the Stadt Frankfurt am Main team (city announcement) - Log green trips and household energy readings to watch your savings add up - Redeem Taler at growing local partners: Palmengarten, Historisches Museum, sports clubs, shops, and Frankfurter Bäder - Compete in monthly city, school, or workplace challenges across the Rhine-Main region - Own a shop or venue? Register free rewards at admin.klima-taler.com (contact: klima-taler@stadt-frankfurt.de) How it works The Klimareferat implements a city-council decision to make everyday climate choices visible. You can start without a heavy signup flow; the app estimates CO₂ savings and shows what the community achieves together. Redemption options in Frankfurt are still expanding, while nearby Klima-Taler cities already offer pool and café perks you can browse for inspiration. Why it matters Playful rewards help residents notice how small habits stack into city-scale reductions, and local partners gain visibility for supporting the transition.
