Sustainability?! We do. For a long time.
With fun, curiosity and learning effect. Highly recommended!
Sustainability report Kaeding Anderson GmbH, status 12/2024
We are convinced that every company today has a responsibility to counter climate change and the loss of biodiversity through concrete action. We also use numerous adjusting screws and a wide variety of measures to initiate and continue small and large changes. “The sustainable agency” – for us, this is both a goal and a motivation!
Firmly anchored in the agency DNA: We have been actively engaged in this topic for many years and are consistently pursuing our path. The principle of sustainability shapes our values and our actions. We are committed to active environmental protection and the continuous optimization of our actions. We promote environmental awareness among our employees and motivate them to actively participate.
Always open for new impulses
The whole team lives and carries this spirit. Living and implementing sustainability is not only fun; it shapes, is contagious, transformative and simply feels good. It’s easier than you think. And the best part: it works!
As entrepreneurs, we also have a responsibility to act sustainably and to set up our processes, structures and services in a sustainable manner. This is even fun and offers a high learning factor for the entire team.
We are constantly developing in this field and can thus grow holistically as an organization – with our values, our awareness, our responsibility, our demands, our performance.
Sustainability communication
For many years, we have been implementing a wide variety of measures step by step – from anchoring our own sustainability code to certified climate neutrality. In addition to an enormous wealth of experience, a professional network has gradually emerged from which our customers are also increasingly benefiting.
We are very pleased that more and more entrepreneurs are enthusiastic about climate protection measures! And when it comes to developing and communicating sustainability strategies, we are at your side as reliable process facilitators and marketing professionals.
We also focus on sustainability in our dealings with each other.
Responsibility towards employees, society and the environment is an integral part of our corporate culture.

Traffic
We offer all employees the opportunity to work regularly in a home office and thus avoid unnecessary travel.
Business trips are made only when face-to-face meetings are requested or required. Online meetings remain the preferred alternative.
For business travel, we always choose the most ecological means of transport and avoid air travel whenever possible. For each flight, a C02 offset of the emissions caused is made.
We review our environmental targets once a year and adjust the targets and measures for the following year. We encourage other companies to also act according to the principle of sustainability.
