Our Munich Team
Beyond our credentials, what truly defines us is our collaborative spirit and passion for making a difference. Employing people from 15 countries, we’re driven by a common goal: we strive to develop high-quality climate projects that make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change.
In a world facing the unprecedented challenges of climate change, Volkswagen ClimatePartner shows that corporate commitment and expertise can lead to meaningful and lasting change. Together, we can create a sustainable future for generations to come and contribute to a climate-resilient world.
The way we work
Volkswagen ClimatePartner is a joint venture founded in 2022 on the expertise and innovation of two partners with a common goal: ambitious carbon reduction and the development of high-quality projects – Volkswagen and ClimatePartner. Since then, our diverse team has shaped our start-up.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work as a strong team with individual experts in fields such as renewable energy, forestry, agriculture, biodiversity, law, business administration and innovation.
Through regular team events, each member brings their unique expertise to the table, fostering a culture of mutual learning and collective growth. Our commitment sets industry standards and ensures that our projects have maximum impact.
But our standards aren’t just rooted in theory; we maintain close ties with the field. Regular interaction with local stakeholders and frequent visits to project sites keep us deeply connected to the ecosystems and communities we work with. Carbon finance for our projects transforms local economies, improves health and livelihoods, and aims to restore our ecosystems.
Join us on our journey towards a sustainable future. Together we’ll make a difference!
