Sustainability at PANTOPIX.
PANTOPIX has been working with CarboCert GmbH since 2019 to reduce its own CO₂ footprint through certified CO₂ sequestration in soils, forests and agroforestry systems while actively contributing to climate protection.
The partnership enables us to support regional sustainability initiatives, show responsibility for our environment and minimise our ecological footprint in the long term.
CarboCert GmbH, based in Bodnegg, is an innovative company in the field of climate protection and sustainability that specialises in the certification of carbon sequestration. CarboCert supports agricultural businesses, forestry operations and companies in specifically reducing CO₂ emissions and generating CO₂ certificates. The company focuses on three central approaches:
- Humus build-up for long-term CO₂ binding in the soil
- Reforestation (afforestation) to store carbon in trees and soils
- Agroforestry, which combines agriculture and forestry to combine ecological and economic benefits.
We are very pleased about the good cooperation with CarboCert and are proud to be able to make a small contribution to climate protection in our region. We are already planning our environmental project for next year – we would like to get involved ourselves!
Our projects
Planting along the Schwarzach and the Mühlekanal near Bodnegg
In spring 2025, we carried out a reforestation campaign together with CarboCert and a regional farmer. This involved planting 145 young trees to help store carbon and stabilise the local ecosystem. The newly planted trees support the water cycle, promote biodiversity and help to improve soil quality. We are delighted to have sponsored this sustainable project with EUR 5,000 and to be actively involved.
Climate-stable forest conversion near Bodnegg with the help of a poplar forest
In spring 2024, 500 poplars were planted at the Abler farm in Bodnegg as an understorey forest on the open damaged areas caused by storms and snow pressure. Due to the climate-related collapse of the spruce stands, it is necessary to restore the central forest functions as quickly as possible. As a fast-growing tree species, the poplar is very suitable for this purpose. It is easy to plant, heat-resistant and very fast-growing. As a result, it quickly forms a shade that protects and cools the soil. We were once again pleased to support this project with EUR 5000.
Planting hedges at the Igel organic farm in Grünkraut
Last year, we supported the Igel organic farm in Grünkraut with EUR 5000 to plant hedges in order to create microclimate zones in the field and prevent water loss. Hedges bind carbon in their biomass as well as in the soil, which leads to long-term CO₂ storage. At the same time, hedges protect the soil from erosion and improve its structure, which further stabilises carbon sequestration. They also promote biodiversity by providing a habitat for many animal and plant species and contribute to climate resilience by protecting agricultural land from extreme weather conditions such as wind or heavy rainfall.
