Partnership between Salzlandsparkasse and Klim
Salzlandsparkasse prioritises regional focus and supporting regenerative systems. Klim's carbon credits are used to offset unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.
What are Salzlandsparkasse's short and long-term sustainability goals?
Salzlandsparkasse's sustainability goals are aligned with the voluntary commitment of savings banks.
What was the reasoning behind using carbon credits to support regenerative agriculture?
Salzlandsparkasse aims to assist local farmers in transitioning to regenerative agriculture, aligning with the regional focus of the savings bank and promoting a collaborative network between agriculture and finance. This approach helps achieve climate goals collectively.
What is special about the partnership?
Salzlandsparkasse encourages its agricultural customers to adopt regenerative methods. This not only strengthens relationships with these customers but also educes investment-related emissions and enhances loan repayment safety through increased 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, reduces investment-related emissions, and enhances loan repayment security through income stability.
step 06
Internal and external stakeholders are kept informed through regular employee training, events, and updates on collaboration.
"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."
