In the Office

Environmental Protection, from the Ground up

We set very high standards when it comes to the environmental performance of our work and our offices. Our environmental management system (EMS) considers many different parameters.

When setting up our office – and with the aim of certification by EMAS – we considered not only the choice of location, including things like the distance to public transport or options for bicycle parking, but also the materials used in the renovation of the building itself.

An EMS also applies on the small scale: We separate our rubbish properly and in an environmentally friendly manner, obtain office supplies and coffee from responsible sources, use only green electricity, switch off the lights when leaving the office, turn down the heating after work in winter, or use sun protection before we turn on the air conditioning.

The traces of our ecological footprint can even be seen on the carpet in our offices: It is made from recycled polyester and has a significantly better CO2 balance than conventional types.
