Funke Mediengruppe cooperates with start-up Cozero

Greentech helps to measure CO2 emissions and is now set to support the media group in becoming more sustainable.

The Funke Media Group is cooperating with the Berlin start-up Cozero. The greentech has developed software that digitally records and balances the CO2 footprint of companies. Based on an impact analysis and emissions data, companies can then initiate measures to reduce their CO2 emissions.

"With Cozero, we can record all of the Funke Mediengruppe's climate data in a single platform. Driven by scenarios, the tool then helps us to introduce the best measures to reduce CO2 emissions," says Gundula Ullah, Head of Sustainability at Funke Mediengruppe. Cozero will not only help to measure Funke's CO2 emissions, but also to check those of the entire supply and value chain. "The company is committed to an ambitious approach that tackles the actual reduction of CO2 emissions and does not rely primarily on offsetting elsewhere," says Helen Tacke, founder and Managing Director of Cozero.

Tacke founded the start-up in 2020 together with Fabian Schwarzer and Tiago Taveira. The carbon action platform developed is designed to help entrepreneurs find an economical way to minimize their environmental impact.
