Sustainability at NCP

We continuously test all systems used for energy efficiency and rely on software-based products to reduce the physical use of hardware. Hardware that is no longer needed  (or simply outdated devices and electrical appliances)   are either recycled or disposed of properly, as are electrical appliances and hazardous waste.  To save energy and reduce overall power consumption, our server housing is cooled to a maximum of 25°C.

Sustainability is part of our corporate culture. We raise awareness among our employees through internal guidelines that promote environmentally responsible behavior By enabling remote work and providing support for our clients, we reduce not only commuter traffic but also lower the carbon footprint of business travel. In addition, we offer online training courses to minimize travel expenses while sharing knowledge efficiently and sustainably.

We promote climate-friendly mobility solutions: Thanks to our well-connected location, our employees can use public transport throughout Germany, and we actively encourage business travel by train. We also rely on eco-friendly alternatives such as cycling: NCP offers job bike leasing as well as company-owned charging stations for e-bikes, creating attractive incentives and a bike-friendly infrastructure. Our electric car fleet also contributes to the reduction of emissions.

"Nobody is perfect" – especially when it comes to sustainability. Therefore, we want to continuously improve in this area. For example, we are currently planning a comprehensive carbon footprint report in order to identify further potential savings. In the future, we want to explore green coding to set resource-saving standards there as well. Together, we are shaping sustainable IT security – to protect our environment today and take responsibility for tomorrow.

We ensure that the workload can be fulfilled within the agreed working hours. Overtime is reduced to a minimum to promote a balanced work-life balance. Regular employee surveys help us to continuously improve working conditions. We also offer health-promoting measures, including massages, wellness checks and regular lectures by our health partner Dustin Bauer. These lectures provide our employees with valuable information for a health-conscious  workday and  highlight the importance of mental health.

Diversity, equality and inclusion – are key drivers of innovation and strong collaboration. That’s why we actively promote a diverse leadership team — with an average age of 46 — and support flexible working models to help employees balance their professional and personal lives. About 64% of our almost 100 employees work full-time, while 36% work less than 40 hours per week. Fostering an inclusive workplace is a core value for us – we are deeply committed to continually advancing inclusion and belonging.

We invest in the future by offering apprenticeships and dual courses of study. Each department receives a fixed budget for continuing education and training to enable individual growth. Regular workshops promote knowledge transfer and strengthen our innovative strength.

At NCP, social responsibility goes beyond the workplace. Each year we donate to social and non-profit organizations. Supported projects include Frauenhaus Nürnberg, Sucht- und Jugendhilfe Nürnberg, Klabautermann e.V., Reit- und Therapiezentrum "Carpe Diem" (see photo) and Feuerwehr Nürnberg.  With our sustainability partner Planted, we plant a tree for each employee – a contribution to a greener future.

This is how we shape a sustainable corporate culture together – with responsibility for our employees and society.

Integrity and transparency form the basis of our actions. We promote governance awareness throughout the company – both in our approach to key issues and in our day-to-day activities. This includes comprehensive training and awareness measures in essential areas such as data protection, IT security and occupational safety. Mandatory guidelines are in place to promote sustainable working practices and regular training on data protection and occupational safety helps keep all employees consistently informed about our policies.

Cybersecurity is the core of our organization. Our information security management system (ISMS) is based on ISO2700, the internationally recognized standard that is integrated in both our internal operations and product development processes. Our dedicated Product Security Board meets weekly to discuss security aspects in product development. Regular training in the field of information security ensures that our team is up to the current challenges in the IT security sector.

Effective risk management is the backbone of our security strategy. We have a risk-based approach in our ISMS: The product management team conducts the risk analysis, while the development team evaluates and implements technical feasibility, regular internal and external audits ensure compliance with the highest quality and security standards. Our IT department regularly checks all systems for potential risks – identified vulnerabilities are immediately fixed and transparently communicated to customers and partners to enable an appropriate response.

With clear ethical guidelines, the highest IT security standards and robust risk management, NCP ensures that governance is not just theory but lived in practice – for sustainable corporate success and long-term trust.
