They were right! 63 teams came together in all A1 countries, some of them cross-country wise, and packed their sustainable ideas into a presentation. The jury of CEOs and ESG country managers invited 10 teams to the Innovation Camp, where the ideas turned into projects under expert guidance. Finally, six of them convinced at the final pitch and can now call themselves A1 ESG Champion 2022.<br><br>Get to know the creative minds of two teams in this story!<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"wrapper wrapper__bg-color--white  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--40       wrapper__border-color-large--primary wrapper__border-size-large--none\"\n\t>\n\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default wrapper__gutter-desktop--default wrapper__gutter-tablet--small\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--12\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-wrap block-image__image-wrap\" data-align=\"center center\">\n\n\t\t\t<picture class=\"image image__picture\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/esg.a1.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/the-extenders-ppt-seite-7-2.jpeg\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"image  image__rounded-corners--none block-image__image\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"wrapper wrapper__bg-color--white  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--40       wrapper__border-color-large--primary wrapper__border-size-large--none\"\n\t>\n\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default wrapper__gutter-desktop--default wrapper__gutter-tablet--small\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--8 wrapper__offset-large--2\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"paragraph paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default paragraph__align--left paragraph__font-family--sans block-paragraph__paragraph\">\n\t<strong>Circular Economy \u2013 The Extenders<\/strong><br><br>Initially three teams competed from three companies. In the course of the Innovation Camp, they saw that the overlaps in content were so great that, without further ado, they joined forces to form one team. They envision the future of the circular economy at A1 with a 2nd Chance Center. It`s all about extending the lifecycle of the devices and, if necessary, refurbish them with the aim of reintegrating them into the sales process and placing them on the market with a rental option. In addition, socially disadvantaged people can buy some of the equipment at an affordable price. For this purpose, the challenge is to create retrieval and buy-back processes in order to have enough equipment available. Acting more sustainable with CO2 reductions and resource conservation through the reuse of materials are good for the environment, and also A1 benefits from this initiative for a better tomorrow. If everything goes according to plan, we look forward to a trial of the \u00bbaffordable phone\u00ab in Carinthia and the \u00bb2nd Chance Center\u00ab in Slovenia in the coming months!<br><br><em>Jury rating: The team \u00bbThe Extenders\u00ab has its finger on the current trend with its idea on various facets of the ESG topic, especially the link to the social component. The cross-company cooperation also shows sustainable commitment in the A1 Group.<\/em><br><strong><br>IoTrees \u2013 CO2-Free IoT Tracking<\/strong><br><br>IoT \u2013 the Internet of Things \u2013 with its solutions not only brings numerous advantages to customers in terms of speed and precision in the provision of data, but unfortunately also causes CO2 emissions in the production of hardware and the operation of networks. The IoTrees team convinces with a solution for IoT customers: an exact calculation of CO2 emissions of projects and a compensation by planting trees.<br><br><em>Jury rating: \u00bbIoTrees\u00ab has recognized that the topic of IoT is becoming more and more important and since A1 currently does not have any methods to offset the CO2 balance here, this idea is a first good implementable approach with potential of elaboration in the future.<\/em><br><br>Together we can all contribute to a better tomorrow!<br>#EmpoweringASustainableFuture<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"wrapper wrapper__bg-color--white  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--120       wrapper__border-color-large--primary wrapper__border-size-large--none\"\n\t>\n\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default wrapper__gutter-desktop--default wrapper__gutter-tablet--small\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--12\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\tclass=\"video__wrap video__ratio--default  video__ratio--vimeo block-video__video-wrap\"\n\tstyle=\"background-image:url()\"\n>\n\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\tclass=\"video block-video__video\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/722160074\"\n\t\tallow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\"\n\t\tallowFullScreen\n\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allein die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Morgen wird die Welt nicht ver\u00e4ndern.
