CO₂ culture standards
The CO₂ culture standard was developed by a group of experts and discussed at the conference of culture ministers on 11.10.2023. The aim is to create a uniform basis for CO₂ accounting for cultural institutions.
From the GHG Protocol to the ClimateBalanceCulture Standard
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is an international standard for greenhouse gas accounting. The KlimaBilanzKultur standard for cultural institutions was derived from this, which divides emissions into three categories:
- KBK: e.g. transportation of goods, employee commuting, business trips
- KBK+: e.g. visitor travel
- Beyond Carbon: e.g. paper consumption
Important: The emissions included in KBK+, in particular visitor travel, often account for up to 85% of the total carbon footprint of cultural institutions.
The go~mus CO₂ tracker
Multi-purpose approach
Collection of data for visitors, guides, speakers, employees and transportation
Use of geodata for precise and automated distance calculation
Export option for external CO₂ tools (e.g. DMB Excel tool “CO2 culture calculator”). DMB Excel tool “CO2-Kulturrechner”)
Advantages of the go~mus interface
Minimal personnel effort for data collection and evaluation
Seamless integration into existing booking and payment systems
Automatic data output in the required format
Data collection and calculation
Simple entry of departure and arrival information
Automatic calculation of CO₂ emissions per means of transport
High data quality thanks to standardized data collection
Intuitive user interface for selecting means of transport and distances
Functions of the go~mus CO₂ tracker
1. Automated CO₂ calculation
Allocation of emissions per means of transport according to the standards of the Federal Environment Agency
Automatic calculation of distances through geo-tracking
Reduction of sources of error and time expenditure through automation
2. Extensive export and reporting functions
Data export as CSV or Excel for external CO₂ analysis tools
Emissions statistics can be called up directly in go~mus
Automatic year-end reports for CO₂ accounting
3. Flexible recording options
Integration into cash register, backend, tablets or e-mail surveys
Recording of several routes per booking
Consideration of demographic data
With the go~mus CO₂ tracker, we make sustainability not only measurable, but also manageable – directly in the processes of cultural institutions. Whether visitors, employees or art transportation, our tool brings transparency to the CO₂ balance sheet and enables targeted measures to reduce emissions. Algorithmic geo-tracking and the automatic calculation of CO₂ emissions in particular significantly reduce manual effort – and therefore also personnel costs. This not only makes the cultural sector more sustainable, but also an active part of the climate transition. Because climate protection starts with understanding – and go~mus provides the data it needs for this.
go~donations | Fundraising | EN
Donate via form and widget
With go~mus, cultural institutions can easily accept donations directly via their website – without having their own online store. The donation widget can be easily integrated into your website and allows both fixed amounts and freely selectable sums, while the necessary donor data can be entered for donation receipts and a selection of payment methods is available. In this way, museums create a flexible and accessible way to support their institution.
Donations in the online store
Enable your customers to make low-threshold donations when ordering tickets and other items in your online store. The option to donate is integrated into the shopping cart and reminds your customers of the opportunity to donate to your organization or a specific cause before they complete their order.
Easy administration of donations
Each donation is recorded in the system with the donor, amount and date, and if the donation was made as part of an order, the order is also linked. This ensures clear administration and transparent traceability of all processes.
Individual campaign management
You can use go~mus to run several donation campaigns at the same time. This allows you to individually define and control parameters such as anonymity, receipt limits, fixed donation amounts or allocation to specific stores or widgets. This allows you to design donation campaigns in a targeted and flexible way.
Automatic donation receipts
The system automatically generates donation receipts for donors and sends them by e-mail. This saves valuable time in administration. This also applies to collective receipts, which are sent to multiple donors once a year. With the right setup, the donation process can be fully automated and manual intervention can be dispensed with.
