To the case study
Carbon credits for banks
Invest in certificates that regenerate soils in your region
and bind carbon.
Why carbon credits belong in the sustainability strategy of banks:
Meet climate targets:
Annual investment in climate protection must be increased many times over in order to achieve the internationally agreed climate targets by 2030.
Reporting pressure:
The six UN Principles for Responsible Banking call for sustainable, visible developments by banks.
Employer branding:
In times of 'climate quitting', companies need strong sustainability strategies to attract and retain the best talent.
Public interest:
Companies must be prepared to address public concerns about sustainability practices and meet customer demand.
Partnership between Salzlandsparkasse and Klim
Regionality and support for a regenerative system are top priorities for Salzlandsparkasse. They offset unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions with Klim's carbon credits
What are Salzlandsparkasse's short and long-term sustainability goals?
Salzlandsparkasse's sustainability goals are aligned with the voluntary commitment of the savings banks.
Why did the decision fall on carbon credits that support the scaling of regenerative agriculture?
Salzlandsparksse aims to support local regional farmers in the transformation towards regenerative agriculture. This is in line with the regional character of the savings banks and creates a cooperative network between agriculture and the financial sector. In this way, climate goals can be achieved as a community.
What is special about the partnership?
Salzlandsparkasse supports its agricultural customers in integrating regenerative methods. This strengthens the relationship with its agricultural customers. It reduces investment-related emissions and improves the security of loan repayments through yield stability.
The six steps to promoting and communicating regenerative agriculture:
Step 01
Salzlandsparkasse purchases carbon credits from Klim farmers in Saxony-Anhalt.
Step 02
The collaboration is presented at an event and communicated via social media.
Step 03
The initiative is presented to Salzlandsparkasse's agricultural customers.
Step 04
By integrating the regenerative practices of agricultural customers, new high-quality, regional carbon credits are generated.
Step 05
The project strengthens the relationship between Salzlandsparkasse and its agricultural customers. It reduces investment-related emissions and improves the security of loan repayments through earnings stability.
Step 06
Internal and external stakeholders are kept continuously informed through regular employee training, events and employee information.
"As a regional savings bank, we want to support our local farmers in the transformation to regenerative agriculture. The added value of using the carbon storage in the humus soils of our agricultural customers for our still unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions represents a local system for cooperation in our business area. This is in line with the regional character of the savings banks and creates a cooperative network between agriculture and the financial sector. Through this collaboration, we can achieve our climate goals as a community in the long term."
