Employee involvement in climate protection – One year of our Green Team
In monthly meetings, initiatives and actions are discussed on how to make everyday office life greener and how to raise awareness for a more sustainable lifestyle among employees.
Within the last months, many ideas could already be implemented, and the list of planned activities is getting longer. Among others, the following initiatives have already been realized:
- 100% green electricity in our offices
- Expansion of options for waste separation
- Packaging free snacks from OHNE and organic fruits from Trübenecker
- At least 50% plant-based milk and yoghurt alternatives
- Water dispensers instead of glass water bottles
- Providing reusable lunch boxes for take away food
- Use of recycled printer paper, toilet paper and paper towels as well as recycling of empty printer cartridges with the support of CaritasBox
- Active participation in the initiative Leaders for Climate Action
- Calculating and offsetting the companies’ carbon footprints with ClimatePartner
- Providing information about different topics via our group newsletter, e. g. sustainable options for takeaway food and drinks, waste separation, zero waste or tips for sustainable Christmas
With around 20 team members coming from different backgrounds, our Green Team grew strong and diverse to actively transform our whole company group closer towards climate neutrality.
