Message from the management
This is our first ESG report. This is where we embark on our data-driven journey towards a more sustainable business. We have wished to do things better for many years and have made previous efforts to reduce our impact on the planet – like switching to certified wind power.
But this is different. It has been an eye-opener for us to find and face the numbers. In some fields, we are doing well, and in others, we definitely need improvement – but we are undoubtedly aiming to do better wherever we can.

This report on our numbers from 2022 will be our stepping stone to a better 2023.

Environment and climate
We are committed to lessening our impact on the planet. We deliver digital products, and our direct effects mainly come from our energy consumption - from creating and using our products. Emissions from work-related travels and running our offices are also considered.
Our indirect impacts come from the products and services we use and the products we help market.
CO2e
Our calculations are based on Erhvervsstyrelsens Klimaberegner
(The Danish Business Authority), and they are by the internationally approved standards of the GHG protocol.

Energy and resources
Our energy and water use is within what’s expected for a company like ours, and we are above the average regarding renewable energy. It is, however, not satisfactory.
We are constantly looking at new ways to minimize energy consumption. Cloud computing, smart-lighting, and clever ventilation are among the initiatives we have been looking into.
We are also looking into installing solar panels on our roof this year.
We are also confident that we will continue to find new ways to improve our consumption.
Social
We currently have 72 full-time employees working for us. We are situated in Denmark, Germany, and the UK, and we have a wide range of skills represented on our payroll.
Some departments are male-dominated, which also concerns the number of men in the field. In 2022, 67 percent of employees in tech companies were male – 75 percent in technical roles [1], according to Deloitte.
We have been hiring based on specific skills needed for particular tasks, which has meant many men in some roles, including management and our board of directors. We know this is not ideal, and we are looking into initiating processes to not – consciously or unconsciously – favor men in the future. These are to be implemented in 2023.
We have a gender pay gap that favors our female employees. We will look into that too. Regarding absence and sick leave, we are within the national average (9,3 days in 2021) [2], and considering Covid and the number of employees with children, we are okay with these numbers.
