The difficulties we encounter:

We as a company, Foto Koch, are trying to optimize our processes and make them more sustainable, over which we have influence. One difficulty is that we have no influence on the production of the products. We try to use our resources to influence the industry and provide our input. It is particularly difficult to achieve greater sustainability in the technology sector, as materials are used that are simply not sustainable. Nevertheless, we are noticing a change in the industry towards a greener future.

Climate Pact D?sseldorf - we are partners!

Climate-neutral by 2035 - with this goal in mind, the state capital D?sseldorf, the D?sseldorf Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the D?sseldorf Chamber of Skilled Crafts and District Crafts Association founded the "D?sseldorf Climate Pact with Business". The cooperation network supports companies on their way to a more climate-friendly and sustainable future.
