The goal of combining ecological responsibility with economic viability is not only legitimate, but necessary.
Rebecca Jäger is Sustainability Manager at The Future Living INT GmbH. Last year, the company supported eight companies in the book industry in drawing up a carbon footprint and preparing them for the path to carbon neutrality. Experiences and practical examples from these consultations will be presented at the German book industry congress.

Generating electricity on their roof
In a project organised by the IHK Ostbrandenburg, companies worked with the consultancy firm The Future Living to draw up their carbon footprint and derive measures to reduce it. Humana Kleidersammlung GmbH in Hoppegarten near Berlin took part. Sustainable management is already part of their business model.
A wolf on the green trail
Together with The Future Living, the IHK Ostbrandenburg supports companies in determining their ecological footprint. Lupus Productions GmbH from Prenzlau took part and is impressed by the results.
A pioneer in the logistics sector
In a pilot project, the IHK Ostbrandenburg supports companies in determining their ecological footprint. Together with the consultancy firm The Future Living, these companies have drawn up their carbon footprint and derived measures to reduce it. Euba Logistic GmbH in Angermünde was highly motivated to take stock of the situation.
The potential of “New Work”
The Future Living focusses on agile working and tries to find ways to work collaboratively instead of ‘top down’. In doing so, they continue to develop skills with the aim of bringing together social, ecological and economic aspects in the best possible way.
Advocate of sustainability
Back in the day, Brigitte Puppe-Mahler travelled around in a Trabi to sell books. Today she has her own bookshop and ordered books are delivered by bicycle. The IHK Ostbrandenburg supported the Mahler bookshop in calculating its carbon footprint. They were accompanied by the consultancy firm The Future Living.
We felt like missionaries
Saving water is a top priority at Sanicus in Fürstenwalde. When the company learnt about the IHK project to determine its ecological footprint, it quickly got involved. In 2023, Sanicus will expand its carbon footprint reporting to include emissions in the company’s value chain.
A butterfly in the name of cleanliness and sustainability
At Admiral Objekt Wäsche und Arbeitsbekleidung GmbH, environmental awareness has long been part of the company philosophy – now the company’s own CO2 footprint has also been determined: “I enquired at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and got in touch with The Future Living. This gave us a tool for calculating our carbon footprint. It was learning by doing.”
