Starting Point
Sustainability within the company
Hypo Vorarlberg has made sustainability a core part of its corporate strategy. For years, the bank has been collecting environmental data across the group and continuously working to reduce its operational CO₂ emissions. This includes 100% green electricity, an expanding fleet of electric vehicles and a gradual move away from fossil fuels.
Despite these achievements, some emissions remain unavoidable, due to necessary business travel or essential operations. To close this remaining gap and meet their own sustainability ambitions, Hypo Vorarlberg looked for a solution to take responsibility for the remaining emissions in a regional, transparent and impactful way.
Working with Tree.ly
Creating impact beyond internal measures
With Tree.ly, Hypo Vorarlberg found a partner that makes it possible to effectively offset remaining emissions and complement its climate strategy in a holistic way.
The supported forest climate projects store CO₂ over the long term, while strengthening local nature and benefiting surrounding communities. The funding helps maintain protective forests, promote biodiverse woodland structures and support the targeted adaptation of forests to climate change.
"At Hypo Vorarlberg, we support Tree.ly because the project pursues a goal we share: shaping a sustainable future. Preserving our forests is a key part of ecological responsibility. Together, we are making an impact that will last for generations."
