Your sustainable marketing agency
As a sustainable online advertising agency, we are committed to making a positive impact through various initiatives.
Founding member of the Gisler Protocol’s
Words have a strong impact (learn more here). What we hear, read, and write influences us, both consciously and subconsciously. The Gisler Protocol is an agency-wide initiative designed to rethink gender stereotypes.
Partner of Caritas
Millions of people worldwide rely on humanitarian aid. We are proud partners of Caritas, an organization that saves lives and creates new opportunities.
There are many ways to support the organization. Actions such as donations, sponsorships, or legacies provide direct assistance on the ground.
Women Empowerment
Strong women can overcome many obstacles, positively transforming their country for generations. Through our commitment as a program partner of Helvetas' 'Strong Women' initiative, women gain access to vital resources or the opportunity for education, providing them with a brighter future. This independence also boosts their self-confidence, increasing their likelihood of advocating for important women's issues within their communities.
Ecological and social pension fund
We are affiliated with the sustainable pension fund
(Nest Collective Foundation). Nest is Switzerland's first ecological-ethical pension fund with a transparent and sustainable investment policy. We are proud to be a part of Nest. => Find out here how sustainable your pension fund is.
Inclusion and Equal Opportunities
Through the iPunkt certificate, we demonstrate our commitment to a work environment that removes barriers and fosters equal opportunities. We are actively working to make it easier for people with disabilities to access the job market and to create a company culture where diversity is truly embraced. For us, sustainability also means social responsibility – and ensuring no one is left behind.
LGBTQIA+ Rights
Equality, especially concerning LGBTQIA+ rights, is very important to us. That's why we've created a guide demonstrating how companies can also champion LGBTQIA+ rights. Additionally, we donate to organizations such as Pink Cross and Queeramnesty.
Donations
onlineKarma donates at least 1% of its revenue to charitable organizations like Terres des hommes Switzerland, Helvetas, Caritas, and WWF. We also provide our expertise for selected projects at a reduced cost.
Fundraising Campaign for WWF
Like many other habitats, the Arctic and Antarctic are threatened by the climate crisis.
With your donation, the WWF campaigns for effective climate protection. During our fundraising campaign, onlineKarma doubled every franc that was donated.
Solar vignette
With the Solarvignette, we power our PCs and mobile phones using solar energy. The solar power produced in Switzerland is fed into the public electricity grid. This enables solar installations to operate without loss and creates incentives for more. We have been using solar power for our marketing agency since 2019.
Carbon neutral marketing agency
We aim to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible. As a certified company, we offset the remaining emissions through certified projects in Brazil via ClimatePartner.
Member of the sustainable business association swisscleantech
As a member of swisscleantech, we are part of the Swiss business association that aims to promote environmentally responsible practices. swisscleantech's goals include a sustainable power supply, a CO2-neutral Switzerland, and the establishment of climate-friendly business models.
Cooperative Insurance
Switzerland does not yet have any fully sustainable insurance companies. However, Mobiliar and Vaudoise are organized as cooperatives and actively support environmental and social projects (Mobiliar Sustainability Report 2023 & Vaudoise Sustainability Report 2023).
100% renewable energy and circular resource management
We utilize resources as efficiently as possible, aiming to produce less waste, and exclusively use 100% recycled EcoLabel paper. Furthermore, in Basel, we obtain IWB electricity from 100% renewable energy sources and heat our offices with district heating. We also make every effort to minimize waste production and diligently separate any waste that is generated.
Helvetas Education Sponsorship
Vocational training, especially for girls in developing countries, is often the only way to escape poverty. Well-educated young women can earn their own money, marry later, and have fewer children. We support these projects with a Helvetas education sponsorship.
Climate-friendly travel
We offset the CO2 emissions from our company and websites by contributing to certified projects in Kenya and Indonesia through ClimatePartner (see above). Additionally, we compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions from all our travels through atmosfair, the test winner for climate protection and CO2 offsetting, with 150% of the necessary CO2 compensation. We also generally strive to use sustainable transport methods (bicycle, train, metro, bus) whenever possible.
Scholarships in developing countries
As a member of the For-Impact organization Aiducation, we support the provision of scholarships to talented and underprivileged students in developing countries, giving them access to education.
Organic and Fair Trade
What each individual does is important. That's why, whenever possible, we exclusively purchase Bio-Knospe and Fairtrade certified products. We have also compiled a list of all organic restaurants in Basel.
Animal welfare in the Mediterranean
Through our OceanCare sponsorship, we are committed to protecting our oceans. With our donation, the organization specifically works to protect dolphins and their habitats.
Since 2009, the onlineKarma team has been dedicated to your sustainable success.
