Stiftung KlimaWirtschaft

The Stiftung KlimaWirtschaft is a non-profit foundation, established in 2011 under the name Stiftung 2° and renamed in 2021. It is an initiative of chairpersons, managing directors, and family entrepreneurs who actively advocate for compliance with European and German climate goals.

The main mission of the Stiftung KlimaWirtschaft is to promote climate protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. It consolidates and activates the willingness to take responsibility, innovative strength, and problem-solving competence of German companies to support an ambitious and market-oriented climate policy[2][4][5].

• Projects and Studies: The foundation conducts its own projects, studies, and events to enrich climate policy debates and develop concrete solutions for climate protection.
• Dialogues and Alliances: It promotes dialogues and alliances between science, society, politics, and business to foster broad awareness of climate protection and sustainability.
• Transformation Alliances: In cross-sector transformation alliances, companies actively work on practical solutions for the transformation to climate neutrality[2][3][5].

• Climate Neutrality: A central goal is to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. To this end, the foundation works on the operationalization of climate protection on an industrial scale and supports the implementation of the European Green Deal and the "Fit for 55" package[3][4].
• Decarbonization Initiative: The foundation has initiated the decarbonization initiative "On the Way to the 2° Economy" to support German climate policy in the upper target corridor and to set examples for the implementation of decarbonization in various sectors[1].
• International Cooperation: It collaborates internationally with partners such as the We Mean Business Coalition, the Transatlantic Climate Bridge, and the Corporate Leaders Group Europe to place progressive corporate climate protection on the global agenda[3].

The Stiftung KlimaWirtschaft has a strong network of over 30 companies from all relevant industries and sectors of the economy. Founding companies include Deutsche Bahn AG, Otto Group, PUMA SE, Deutsche Telekom AG, and other significant companies. The leaders of these companies are directly involved in the foundation's activities and personally identify with its goals[1][2][5].

The Stiftung KlimaWirtschaft is a central action platform for corporate climate protection, making a significant contribution to achieving climate goals through its cross-sector networking and commitment to ambitious climate policy. Through its work, it strengthens awareness and the political framework for the transition to a climate-neutral economy.
