Since its foundation in 2006, the investment manager and family office AM ALPHA has pursued a series of long-term, sustainable strategies. This also includes continuously reducing its CO2 emissions. In 2023, AM ALPHA was once again certified by ClimatePartner.
The CO2 emissions of our business operations were measured and analysed by examining our business travel guidelines, the switch to green electricity and the resource- saving measures we had in place. The company's national and international climate protection projects also complement AM ALPHA's commitment to give back to our ecosystem what we take from it. “As a family business, we have always thought and acted across generations. Sustainable management and climate protection have always been part of our corporate culture. Our brand promise of Returning Real Value sums up this claim," says Martin Lemke, Managing Director at AM ALPHA.
To be credible when setting up a sustainable product portfolio it is essential to start with oneself.

Measure, reduce ...
To calculate our carbon footprint, AM ALPHA brought in climate protection experts ClimatePartner. The emission values were determined collectively, detailed assessments drawn up, and the possible and necessary steps derived from them, with the result that AM ALPHA was again certified by ClimatePartner in 2023. "But it is much more important that we now have the database and the control structures to be able to continuously reduce our CO2 footprint in the future," says Lemke. "To be credible when setting up a sustainable product portfolio it is essential to start with oneself."
... and improve
AM ALPHA is intensively promoting reforestation measures in German forests, which, as a direct result of climate change, have suffered particularly in recent years, often because of intense heat waves. With the support of AM ALPHA, forests can become more climate-resilient and thus stabilize the ecosystem in the long term.
In addition, AM ALPHA is also involved internationally, for example, in wind and solar projects throughout Africa and a water treatment project in Eritrea. AM ALPHA has also co-initiated the educational initiative "Waldlife", which targets children and young people and promotes awareness of the forest ecosystem as an essential CO2 reservoir. "The substantial and continuous reduction of our CO2 footprint has become part of our corporate philosophy and it is impossible to imagine our actions without it," explains Lemke. "Our approach to sustainability and long-term thinking is perfectly complemented by this."
