Digitalization, the energy revolution, new mobility – the world we live in is changing at a rapid pace. As processes and decisions become more complex, it’s more important than ever to keep an eye on the big Image. And that’s a good thing. We see it as an opportunity for a better future. Together with our customers and partners, we’re shaping tomorrow’s world today – and we’ve been doing it for more than 30 years.
Is your topic complex? We’ll get to the heart of it. Are you dealing with an explosive situation? We use tension constructively. We listen, ask questions and understand. We bring the right people together for our customers and get them talking. This results in solutions off the beaten track, groundbreaking strategies and pioneering alliances. On the ground in companies or around the big table in government, we visualize the wisdom of crowds, look beyond our own noses and find creative solutions, while remaining both authoritative and flexible in our planning.
Sustainable development is not a trendy topic for ifok. It is our position and our aspiration. For us, climate protection and prosperity are not opposites. We work with passionate pragmatism for economic progress in harmony with people and nature. We create spaces for this. So that everyone can actively and democratically shape their living environment.
We draw up an annual CO2 balance sheet (corporate carbon footprint) for all our business activities. We take responsibility for the calculated emissions and support certified climate protection projects that reduce greenhouse gases and promote sustainable development. We are currently supporting the “Efficient cooking stoves” project in Zambia.
Diversity and the compatibility of family and career are important to us. 40% of our employees work part-time. The proportion of women at ifok is over 50% and our management team is balanced. We also promote the achievement of global Sustainable Development Goals, such as the fight against poverty or the improvement of living conditions in emerging and developing countries.
Up to date today and even more explosive tomorrow: The issues of the future drive us onward. How will we live, consume and move around in the future? With our expertise, we address these relevant issues of the future. With passion and conviction, we contribute to a sustainable world of tomorrow. Want to join us?
In 1995, ifok founder Dr Hans-Peter Meister broke new ground with his idea of dialogue and participation. To this day, we have maintained this pioneering spirit. We are firmly rooted locally and at home in Europe and the world as part of the international Cadmus family. That’s why we have international experts on speed dial, but we also know what matters to local people.
Information security is a fundamental building block in the design and implementation of the projects and goals entrusted to us. We have been ISO 27001 certified since November 2023 and thus comply with the internationally recognized standard for information security management. This means that the topic of information security has been organizationally anchored and standardized at ifok.gt.
Democracy is in a crisis of confidence. Many people feel excluded from political decisions and feel that their interests are not adequately represented – and to some extent they are right.
Participation can increase acceptance of the mobility transition. However, in order to be effective, planning and administration must also want and implement good participation.
On the ground in companies or around the big table in government, we visualize the wisdom of crowds, look beyond our own noses and find creative solutions, while remaining both authoritative and flexible in our planning. Let’s shape change together.
