It doesn’t always have to be meat: introduction of «veggie days»

At least two «veggie days» for the climate: this is a small step in the right direction to achieve our goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030.

To simultaneously double this success, we are collaborating with the Green Ethiopia Foundation to plant 14,800 trees each year. In doing so, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint, but also securing the basis of our existence in the long term.
