Engagement & ESG
Living social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility is very important to us. We understand this to mean not only financial support or support through donations in kind from institutions or projects, but also attach importance to providing effective and sustainable help. For example, we support schools, associations and charitable organizations with their web and brand presence.
We pursue a very balanced recruitment policy in which all genders are taken into account.
We employ young people and train our employees in a wide variety of subject areas.
We pay our employees in Germany and abroad a fair wage that reflects their performance.
Not only do we regularly plant trees to reduce CO², but we also host exclusively in data centers supplied with green electricity. Our office is powered by 100% green electricity.
Through our voluntary commitment to supranational organizations, we support their efforts and goals.
We support UNESCO, Blue Shield International and other organizations on a voluntary basis in their efforts to reduce poverty, education and inequality worldwide.
For every new customer we buy trees worldwide, which every new customer can plant themselves via a link.
World Heritage 934
Since 2010, we have been photographing the places, sites and landscapes designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites under our LimesMedia®brand and making them available to UNESCO and the national UNESCO commissions free of charge.
These are incorporated via UNESCO into the website www.unesco.org and in exhibitions and marketing materials to promote the World Heritage Sites.
We also make our photographs of UNESCO World Heritage Sites available to non-commercial projects, institutions, universities, scientific institutions, students, teachers, textbook publishers and ministries of culture all over the world for use in textbooks, teaching materials or for educationally useful board games.
We support The Blue Shield International with the administration of their IT infrastructure, their website and the design and layout of their public image. The Blue Shield is an independent, neutral, non-profit organization that protects cultural heritage worldwide during armed conflicts and disasters.
Its work is based on international law, in particular the Hague Convention of 1954 and the two protocols (1954, 1999) on the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict, which form part of international humanitarian law. This set of rules limits the impact of armed conflicts on people and property for humanitarian reasons.
Other foundations include international legal instruments, the UN and UNESCO cultural protection agenda and initiatives such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The Blue Shield advises UNESCO on the protection of cultural property in conflicts and has a legally enshrined mandate in accordance with the Second Protocol of 1999.
