This year, DR-WALTER is once again sending a strong signal for climate protection and investing in high-quality carbon offset projects. Our goal remains clear: to avoid, reduce, and—where necessary—responsibly offset emissions. For us, the purchase of carbon credits is a targeted contribution to combating climate change.

High-quality Carbon Credits

We cooperate with the company Senken in selecting projects. With the help of AI-supported analyses, Senken ensures that only projects with verifiable climate benefits are included in our portfolio. Senken checks over 600 data points per project. As managing director Adrian Wons promises, Senken offers “only  carbon credits with a real climate impact.” 

Regenerative agriculture as the key to soil health

A new project in our portfolio is Klim - expert in promoting and implementing regenerative agriculture practices in Germany. Over the past 60 years, Germany has lost around 30 percent of its fertile soil. The start-up Klim is therefore supporting around 3,500 farmers in making their farming methods more sustainable. Mixed cropping and reduced tillage improve soil quality - and thus also the ability to store carbon dioxide in the long term. This is a crucial contribution to the fight against the climate crisis. In addition to better yields, regenerative agriculture ensures greater biodiversity in the long term and makes the soil “hungrier” for carbon dioxide.

The World´s Largest Biochar Carbon Removal Project

As in previous years, we are supporting the Exomad Green biochar project in Bolivia. It uses unused wood residues from forestry to produce biochar, which permanently captures carbon dioxide in the soil. The biochar is also donated to indigenous communities and farmers. There, it not only improves soil fertility and crop yields, but also helps to curb deforestation and protect South American forests in the long term.

Social responsibility

In addition to environmental goals, we are also placing greater emphasis on social aspects. Inspired by discussions with Sirkka Jendis, Managing Director of Tafel Deutschland, and Rüdiger Ratsch-Heitmann, Managing Director of BürgerStiftung Hamburg, our sustainability team will also be involved in social projects in the future. Our COO Timo Dreger says: “Social justice begins locally and requires a radical rethink in the areas of education, gender equality, and intergenerational justice.”
