Our thinking

Being female entrepreneurs and mothers we take it for granted to analyse and think about our daily activities with regard to the environment. To act in an ecologically justifiable way is not only a trend, but also a necessity affecting all of us.

Sustainability has become an integral part of many areas of life, such as travelling, food, architecture and much more and it is impossible to imagine them without it. Nevertheless, it is not easy to always take it into account. We all know that.

 

For that reason we have decided to cope with the topic sustainability as well as we can in our microcosm “office”. Therefore we will comply with certain rules and implement specific actions:

• We purchase our energy from GREENPEACE ENERGY.
• We exclusively use recycled paper and try to run a paper-free office.
• Our company car is equipped with a natural-gas engine and we are purchasing two company bicycles this year.
• Our dishwasher is only operating if it is completely full.
• We only switch on our lamps where we really need them.
• The unused computers are switched off.
• We compensate for our unavoidable carbon dioxide emissions by paying a fee for our carbon dioxide footprint which is assessed by CO₂OL. We, as female entrepreneurs, want to take responsibility for our social and ecological environment.

 

We want to do more and try to integrate the topic “sustainability” in the field of Destination Management. In order to put that into practice we developed our GREENPOINT Programme.
