Climate protection and the continuous reduction of energy and resource consumption are central components of the sustainability strategy of EQS Group. Even though the company, as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, is not part of an energy-intensive industry, emissions and energy consumption are important levers to support the transition towards a sustainable economy.
