About Taschen
A German publishing house founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Taschen specialises in books on art, fashion, photography, architecture and pop culture. It is an international company with its own bookshops all over the world!
Committed to the planet, Taschen has achieved carbon-neutral status through its ecological partnership with Lélia Wanick Salgado, Sebastião Salgado and Instituto Terra.
Taschen is honoured to have contributed to the Institute's efforts for many years and to have published crucial photographic collections with the Salgados, including Exodus, Genesis and Amazônia, a celebration of the urgent issue of the rainforest, its indigenous cultures as well as its endangered beauties.
According to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Taschen produces 13,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. On the other hand, experts have estimated that the trees planted by Instituto Terra have so far absorbed some 108,000 metric tons of gas. Taschen's investment in the organisation therefore enables the publishing house to neutralise its own carbon footprint by purchasing "carbon credits" in the form of new Instituto Terra seedlings and supporting reforestation efforts. Each Taschen book plants a seed.
