Responsibility and Sustainability
As a sustainable online marketing agency, we strive towards making a positive impact.
We would also like to invite you to live and work as sustainably as possible.
Founding Member of the Gislerprotokoll
Words have a powerful effect (read more). We are influenced by what we hear, read and write - consciously and also unconsciously. The «Gislerprotokoll» is a multi-agency initiative to reconsider gender stereotypes.
Partner of Caritas
Millions of people around the world are dependent on humanitarian aid. We are a proud partner of Caritas, which saves lives and creates new perspectives.
There are many different ways to support the organization. Actions such as donations, sponsorships, inheritances or climate shares provide help where it is needed most.
Women Empowerment
Strong women can overcome many obstacles and thereby positively impact their country for generations. Through our commitment as program partners of Helvetas' "Strong Women," women gain access to resources or the opportunity for education, and thus a perspective. With independence, their self-confidence also rises, increasing the likelihood that they will advocate for important women's issues in their community.
Ecological and Ethical Social Pension Fund
We have joined the Sustainable Pension Fund (Nest Collective Foundation). Nest is the first ecological and ethical pension fund in Switzerland with a transparent and sustainable investment policy. We are proud to be a part of nest.
LGBTQIA+ & Rights
Equality is also an important concern for us in terms of LGBTQIA+ rights. That's why we have created a guide that shows how companies can also advocate for the rights of the LGBTQIA+. In addition, we donate to organizations like Pink Cross or Queer Amnesty.
Donations & Know-How
onlineKarma donates a minimum of 1% of revenue to charitable organizations such as Terre des hommes Switzerland, Helvetas, Caritas, or WWF. Additionally, we offer our expertise at discounted rates for selected projects.
Fundraising Campaign for WWF
Like many other habitats, the Arctic and Antarctic are threatened by the climate crisis.
With your donation, WWF fights for effective climate protection. onlineKarma will match every franc you donate.
Solar Vignette
With the solar vignette, we power our PCs and mobile phones with solar energy. The solar electricity produced in Switzerland is fed into the public grid. This allows for the loss-free operation of solar installations and creates incentives for more. We have been using solar energy for our marketing agency since 2019.
CO2 Neutral Advertising Agency
We strive to keep our carbon emissions as low as possible. As a verified company, we offset the remaining emissions through certified projects in India and Kenya via ClimatePartner.
Member of Sustainable Business Association swisscleantech
As a member of swisscleantech, we participate in the Swiss business association that aims to promote environmentally responsible action. The goals of swisscleantech include a sustainable power supply, a carbon-neutral Switzerland, and the establishment of climate-friendly business models.
Cooperative Insurance
Currently, there is no fully sustainable insurance in Switzerland. However, Mobiliar and Vaudoise are organized as cooperatives and are committed to ecological and social projects (Mobiliar Sustainability Report & Vaudoise Charter for Corporate Social Responsibility).
100% Renewable Energy & Resource Loop
We use resources as efficiently as possible, aim to produce less waste, and use 100% Recycling EcoLabel paper. In addition, thanks to IWB in Basel, we source our electricity from 100% renewable energy sources and heat our offices with district heating. Of course, we strive to produce as little waste as possible and separate the waste that does occur.
Helvetas Apprenticeship Sponsorship
Vocational training is often the only way, particularly for girls in developing countries, to break free from poverty. Well-educated young women can earn their own money, marry later, and have fewer children. We support these projects through a Helvetas apprenticeship sponsorship.
Climate-Friendly Travel
We offset the CO2 emissions of our company and websites with contributions to certified projects in Kenya and Indonesia via ClimatePartner (see above). Additionally, we offset the greenhouse gases of all our travels via atmosfair, the test winner for climate protection and CO2 compensation, with 150% of the necessary CO2 compensation. Generally, we try to use sustainable modes of transportation (bicycle, train, metro, bus) whenever possible.
Scholarships in Developing Countries
As a member of the For-Impact organization Aiducation, we support the awarding of scholarships to talented and needy students in developing countries, thereby providing them access to education.
Organic & Fair
What matters is what each individual does. That's why, whenever possible, we exclusively purchase organic "Bio-Knospe" and Fairtrade-certified products. By the way, we have compiled an overview of all organic restaurants in Basel.
Since 2009, the team at onlineKarma has been committed to your sustainable success.
