App test” 2Zero - Sustainable together “: Run the Klimathon!

Climate protection is particularly fun as a team. And team, in the case of “2Zero”, that is your own municipality or circle of colleagues. With challenges and local activities, the app aims to encourage people to work together against climate change.

“Klimathon”: Climate Marathon Program in Flensburg

The climate marathon program was presented at Flensburg City Hall. Over a period of 42 days, people from Flensburg can take on 40 climate challenges in app-based competitions. The aim is to save as much CO2 as possible.

You can also take part in the “Klimathon” without training - it can still be exhausting.

Reducing carbon footprint through app-based personal challenges

Welcome to our Spotlight series. This week we feature Max Pinkert, CEO and Co-Founder of 2zero, an app that helps individuals and businesses reduce their carbon footprint by completing personal challenges.

Three cities, one bet! Who is saving more CO2 in the North?

In a special kind of marathon, the three largest cities in Schleswig-Holstein will be competing against each other from March 1 to April 12: At Klimathon — an app-based competition — residents of the three municipalities in six different disciplines can choose from more than 80 “climate challenges” that can save CO2.

3rd Passau Climate Thon — participatory campaign for the environment and climate protection

In the spirit of more environmental and climate protection, individuals and teams can collect climate points while determining and minimizing their own CO2 emissions. In addition, companies, schools, associations or associations in the city area can also take part in the Passau Climaton.

Protect the climate together in a playful way! With our solutions, we are already helping over 50 companies and municipalities to implement their climate goals — changes simply, playfully and digitally!

About 2zero

Our vision is to create sustainable, long-term and easy-to-implement change — in a private, social and professional context, so that we can jointly achieve the goal of a maximum warming of 2.0 degrees Celsius.
2zero uses software-based tools to measure individuals' CO2e footprint and playfully promote the reduction of their CO2e footprint through various challenges within the 2zero app. We work with companies and municipalities that make our platform available to their employees/citizens. The challenges include cycling to work every day, reducing meat consumption or using energy more efficiently at home. If you master these challenges, you will receive real rewards, discounts and offers to live a more sustainable life.

Our mission

Our mission is to promote profound and collaborative change towards a sustainable future. We strive to integrate sustainability into all areas of life — be it private, social or professional. Our product as a “change as a service” serves as a driving force. We rely on digital solutions around our app to establish an everyday culture of sustainability. Our approach is individual and adaptable, individually tailored to your needs!

History and origin

Climate protection and technology?

In 2016, Moritz Morgenroth and Emil Bergold founded the company twigbit, with the vision of developing digital solutions efficiently and in a customer-oriented manner. As mathematicians and computer scientists, they thus entered a business world known and familiar to them, in which projects quickly emerged. The young company Twigbit began to establish itself.
One year later, the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were published to secure our natural resources in the long term and sustainably. They lay the foundation for the sustainable development of our society. In the following years, the SDGs, the Paris Climate Agreement, Greta Thunberg and the “Fridays for Future” movement led to an increasing perception of climate change across our society.
The topic of (ecological) sustainability in its various facets became a general topic of discussion and discussion.

How did the idea for 2zero come about as a new, independent company?

Until 2020, as Twigbit, we were not aware of how we, as a digital technology company, could do our part to achieve the SDGs. That changed with the founding of Worldwatchers in 2019.
worldwatchers is based on the idea of offering a “weight watcher for the climate.” The connection between worldwatchers and Twigbit came about in the search for a technological partner to provide attractive solutions and products, for example in the form of an app. From 2020, Worldwatchers and Twigbit cooperated. While we were responsible for technological developments, worldwatchers was responsible for content.
Companies and municipalities in particular became customers. Their feedback, combined with our experiences, gave us new perspectives on the interplay between sustainability and digital products.
In addition to technical development in the area of sustainability, we identified potential and possible solutions, which we were able to implement quickly and in a user-oriented manner based on previous experience in the field of technological development. The first projects started, for example, with an intuitive CO2 calculator and the presentation of CO2 emissions and savings potential.

2Zero Founding

At the turn of the year 2021/2022, we founded the company 2zero as an independent start-up from the software agency twigbit. The starting signal was given to build on the experience with worldwatchers and to work with our customers to achieve the SGDs with a sustainable vision.
Julius, our sales manager, says: “We offer you an app suitable for everyday use that allows users to get started in a fun, quick and effective way!”
In concrete terms, this means that our digital platform provides simple and intuitive support in evaluating and analyzing your personal ecological footprint. In order to ultimately reduce the CO2 footprint, there are incentives, campaigns and tips for everyday life. Our target group is private and business customers, initially with a focus on companies and municipalities. Our constantly growing team is working for this!

What motivates our founders?

“I think climate protection should not only be fun, but must be fun! 2zero may not be the first start-up I've founded, but it's the one with which I can pursue my greatest passion: combining technology and sustainability. In addition, turning a digital product idea into reality through programming and making it accessible to other people in a short period of time is captivating and inspiring.”
- Moritz, co-founder of 2zero

Protecting the climate together in a playful way: Shaping change towards a more sustainable future with 2zero

2zero, an innovative climate protection start-up from Berlin, has set itself the task of making the world a little bit better - both in everyday life and at work

With its climate protection app, 2zero has already supported over 50 companies and municipalities on their journey to climate neutrality. In doing so, the company uses playful approaches to measure and reduce the CO2 footprint.

The 2zero app is a real all-rounder: It measures the CO2 footprint and motivates users to reduce it through a variety of challenges. For example, users can score points by taking their bikes to work instead of the car or by reducing their meat consumption. And best of all, there are great rewards for every challenge you complete.

The story of 2zero began with the two founders Moritz Morgenroth and Emil Bergold. Originally working as developers in the software industry, shortly after the UN published the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), they set themselves the goal that their technologies should contribute to achieving these goals.
In collaboration with worldwatchers, the “Weight Watchers for the Climate,” 2zero began developing digital solutions that can measure the CO2 footprint and identify potential savings. Little by little, 2zero developed an ever larger team of motivated climate protection enthusiasts, and this is how 2zero finally became an important player in the area of climate protection.

Today, 2zero offers, among other things, the “Klimathon”, an exciting initiative that makes it easier to get started with climate protection. In the 2zero app, there are plenty of tips and tricks for more sustainable habits in everyday life.

Large cities such as the state capital Kiel or even entire districts such as the LK Munich have already carried out a climate protection campaign together with 2zero. With 2zero's digital tools, people can playfully raise awareness of climate protection and build up a long-term sustainability culture within the community.
