Introduction

Sustainable consumption – CO² footprint tracking for your pocket

In today’s society, we are placing more and more emphasis on consuming more sustainably and tracking our own consumption patterns. However, most of society does not even know how certain products and activities affect their own environmental footprint. To address this knowledge gap, a German energy producer has built a platform for end consumers as part of its sustainability strategy to help users live more sustainably and consciously. In cooperation with DevelopX, a company was founded to develop an app in which the user can compare the CO² emissions of different products and activities and acquire further knowledge about a more sustainable everyday life. At the same time, the user should also be able to track his own carbon footprint.
