Certified to DIN EN ISO
PROTEMA and our subsidiary LOPREX GmbH have been certified to DIN EN ISO since March 2005.
Annual monitoring audits and successful re-certification are testament to the quality of our work. This assures you, the customer, that the quality of the consulting that you receive is the result of optimized and continuously improved processes and gives you a guarantee that we employ these systematically.
Preliminary TISAX certified
We attach the highest importance to the data security of our customers. Since 2021, the PROTEMA Group has been TISAX certified and thus meets a quality standard for the secure exchange of sensitive data.
As part of our consulting services, we guarantee our customers a high level of information security, confidentiality and data protection. With the TISAX certification we set an important milestone in the field of information security. The auditors confirm PROTEMA the assessment level 3 ("Very high protection requirement"). It represents the highest protection goal of this security certification.
Supporting First Climate Projects
Climate protection is an important part of PROTEMA's responsible business practices. We place great importance on avoiding and reducing the CO₂ emissions generated by our business activities wherever possible. For example, we use electricity from renewable energy sources. Whenever possible, we also use public transportation for business travel related to our client engagements.
For emissions that arise, for example, from building heating, the use of paper and other resources, or employee commuting, PROTEMA makes a voluntary contribution to climate protection by purchasing carbon credits. To do so, PROTEMA works with the independent climate protection service provider First Climate . Through this partnership, we support certified international climate protection projects. This contribution complements our measures to avoid and reduce our own emissions and does not constitute a claim that PROTEMA is climate neutral.
Purchase of Carbon Credits
In addition to avoiding and reducing their own emissions, companies can voluntarily support certified climate protection projects. PROTEMA makes such a voluntary contribution by purchasing carbon credits. This support complements our measures to avoid and reduce our own emissions.
Supporting climate protection projects can be particularly relevant in areas where greenhouse gas emissions cannot yet be fully reduced in the short term for technical or economic reasons. In the long term, avoiding and reducing our own emissions remains the priority.

Climate Protection Projects Supported by PROTEMA and LOPREX Through the Purchase of Carbon Credits
In addition to measures to avoid and reduce emissions, we support certified climate protection projects worldwide by purchasing carbon credits. The projects we support are certified according to recognized standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or the Gold Standard. The resulting emission reductions are independently assessed and verified.
In addition, these projects make tangible contributions to local communities and the environment – for example, by protecting ecosystems, improving energy efficiency, providing access to clean drinking water, or creating local employment opportunities.
Biogas Plants for Rural Households in Vietnam
The project supports the construction of biogas plants for waste management and a reliable energy supply. More than 89,000 households already benefit from clean biogas and save on fuel and fertilizer costs — creating positive impacts on the environment, energy supply, and quality of life.
Efficient Cookstoves in Uganda Reduce Fuel Use and Emissions
In Uganda, 99% of households use unsustainably sourced wood fuels, contributing to deforestation and health risks caused by smoke.
The project promotes the adoption of energy-efficient cookstoves designed to reduce fuel consumption by 35–50%.
The Safe Water Program for Schools in Nigeria and Kenya
The Program provides schools in Nigeria and Kenya with modern, off-grid water purification systems. By eliminating the need to boil water, the program helps reduce emissions. More than 40,000 schools currently benefit from the program, with the goal of reaching more than 100,000 schools by 2025.
Energy Generation at the Kamphaeng Saen Landfill
A landfill gas collection system captures methane released from the landfill, which is then burned to fuel several turbines at a small power plant located on the site. With around 5,000 tons of waste per day, the Kamphaeng Saen landfill is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. It offers significant potential for energy generation.
Improved Cooking Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
The project comprises several sub-projects across Sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda, Zambia, and Tanzania. Broken wells and boreholes are repaired to ensure access to clean water. Local communities receive training to independently manage operation and maintenance.
