Active climate protection
Our contribution to climate neutrality
At IVU, our commitment to active climate protection drives us to make a significant impact on advancing our society's journey towards climate neutrality. Our approach relies on IVU.suite’s integrated IT systems - these tools support public transport companies to reduce CO₂ emissions by enabling sustainable mobility and therefore promote climate protection. Not only are we dedicated to external impact, but also to internal change, with the goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2025.
Our goals
Public transport
as an environmentally friendly mobility option
Our systems ensure seamless and efficient public transport for transport companies in Germany, Europe and all over the world – enhancing attractiveness and passenger satisfaction globally. With the IVU.suite products, we champion sustainable public transport choices, such as bus and train travel, while assisting transport companies in curbing emissions across their entire operation.

Most of these emissions can be attributed to external data centres, commuting, and energy consumption (in particular heating and electricity consumption in our offices). However, working on the move allows us to save on commuting and to use existing spatial resources more efficiently and sustainably. For example, our employees are encouraged to use public transport as often as possible and unavoidable business air travel is offset by the non-profit organisation "atmosfair". The share of green electricity was around 71% in 2023, double that of 2021. The aim is to gradually increase the proportion of environmentally friendly energy.
Efficient use of resources
to minimise waste
At IVU we use our resources carefully and strive for a circular economy. Our emphasis lies in optimising the recycling of internal operational resources and creating partnerships with sustainability-driven suppliers. Due to office activities, commercial waste and the hardware used by employees are the main waste products.
Our goals
Avoid waste and increase how much we recycle
We always ensure that all materials are recycled – consumables such as plastic and cardboard packaging waste are separated on site and sent to be recycled, while e-waste is sent to specialised service providers who dispose of the devices properly. As we do not manufacture any equipment ourselves in our own production facilities, no resources are consumed for producing hardware.
Work with sustainable suppliers
When working with suppliers, we always ensure compliance with basic standards for resource-saving production. In particular, the hardware part of the system solutions should be as long-lasting possible. Together with our suppliers, we therefore ensure that spare parts are available for up to ten years and also offer repair services for defective hardware.
