Fischer Wolle Takes Responsibility

Tracking CO₂, Reducing Emissions, and Supporting Climate Protection Projects

There is global consensus that we must combat human-induced climate change. We at Fischer Wolle also want to take responsibility and do our part.

That is why we regularly have an external company track the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our business activities. Based on this, we assess where emissions occur, what reduction measures have already been implemented, and where further improvements are possible.

We offset remaining emissions by supporting selected climate protection projects. These include, among others, forest conservation and reforestation projects in Brazil, Uruguay, and Germany, as well as regional projects such as our bee sponsorship program.

It is important to us that offset payments do not replace emission avoidance. That is why we are continuously working to make our operations as resource-efficient as possible and to reduce emissions wherever feasible.

Responsibility for Our Own Brand, Fischer Wolle

We also regularly commission assessments of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by production and transportation for our own brand, Fischer Wolle. This calculation helps us better understand the environmental impact of our yarns and identify further opportunities for improvement.

To offset remaining emissions, we also support selected climate protection projects. In this way, we combine our commitment to high-quality yarns with a more conscious use of resources and a sense of responsibility throughout our value chain.

You can find all the yarns from our own brand here:

Project - BeeFuture

"Once the bee disappears from the earth, man has only four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more people." - Albert Einstein

Since 1950, the world bee population has decreased by more than half. In Germany, for example, more than 80% of the honey needed is imported (consumption 100,000 tons), in Austria it is 65% with a consumption of 15,000 tons.

>> The problem: bee mortality!

The extinction of the bee would have fatal consequences for the ecological balance of our planet.

• Monocultures: diversity for bees is lost
• Pests: Especially the varroa mite
• Pesticides: which are sprayed without regard for bees

 

>> The solution: Active support for bee colonies

The company Beefuture has made it its business to inspire sustainable nature conservation.

We at Fischer-Wolle have invested in a near-natural and species-appropriate keeping of bees and have taken in two beehives (with a total of up to 120,000 bees) directly on our company premises in order to make an important contribution to direct environmental protection.
