SNP recognizes the importance of sustainable development – we believe that conducting business should go hand in hand with strategies that stimulate economic growth and protect the planet.
As an organization, we are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We are aware of the impact our daily operations have on the environment. Therefore, we have adopted local policies for reducing waste and CO2 emissions. But that’s not all – our core values emphasize working together and applying our expertise to achieve common success and take bold climate action.
Measuring carbon footprint
Because this cause is so dear to our hearts, the experts at our subsidiary EXA have developed the product carbon footprint solution EXA PCF, which helps organizations around the globe to manage their product carbon footprint along their supply chain. This solution enables users to assess the environmental impact of their products from raw material extraction up to the factory gate.
Helping with reforestation
We work with the Black Jaguar Foundation – an organization dedicated to one of South America’s largest reforestation projects. The foundation is planting 1.7 billion native trees to realize the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor. This will help to improve biodiversity, mitigate climate change, preserve critical water resources and contribute to managing our carbon footprint.
To support those in need, every year we donate to a charitable organization that supports ill children and their caregivers.
Among those we have funded recently are the Waldpiraten, a non-profit organization holding summer camps for children and teenagers suffering from cancer. During their stay, children can recover after a long therapy, gain courage and build up their strength – for a way back into “normal” everyday life.
Other organizations that we have recently backed include Autistic Center Andreas, which provides holistic support to people on the autism spectrum, as well as Sibirka – a center for social services that helps disabled people.
We are not only focused on local initiatives – we also support important causes in other regions.
We supported the SolarBuddy program Energy Poverty, aimed at providing access to safe and reliable energy in the remote regions of the world, as energy shortages particularly affect children, their education and their well-being.
We are taking a strong stance against the war in Ukraine. We are committed to helping the people who are most affected by the Russian regime’s war of aggression on Ukraine by providing local support via three aid organizations in Germany, Austria and Slovakia.
We also believe in giving back to society by rolling up our sleeves and volunteering. Our employees in Bratislava regularly participate in the Our City (Naše Mesto) community project, where they clean up and refurbish public spaces.
Whether it is painting fences, renovating nurseries or just picking up garbage, we are there and happy to help.
Supporting sports is a matter close to our hearts. Sports make you strong, promote solidarity and are an important foundation for a healthy lifestyle.
We have been a proud sponsor and namesake of the SNP dome in Heidelberg since 2021. It offers young athletes a modern training and playing facility. The SNP dome can accommodate around 5,000 spectators, and it has quickly become an important location in the Heidelberg area for both sports and cultural events. We are pleased to be able to help make this experience possible and hope that our commitment will inspire children and young people to take up and play more sports.
