We care about our world and our climate, and we are committing to reducing the environmental footprints of our business.
As a strategic change agency, we are fortunate to help our clients implement new strategies, and increasingly see that they focus on environmental and sustainability matters.
We are a small company but believe we can make a significant impact by helping organisations far bigger than us transition to more sustainable ways of thinking within their projects.
But we also believe that we have a responsibility to minimise our impact as well.
It is our long-term ambition to CO2-neutralise our entire operation, either by using vendors that offer carbon-neutralised options or by buying compensation ourselves. Traveling and printing are where we have the biggest environmental impact, so that is naturally where we have started our journey.
We believe in the power of face-to-face communication and strongly believe that a well-designed paper tool is an important part of our high-quality solutions. As the world becomes more virtual, print plays an increasingly smaller role in our solutions, but we do not drive this change.
- We print all materials for Danish-based projects locally, and CO2 compensates everything directly through the printing house.
- Our Danish print suppliers are all ISO14001 certified.
- Whenever possible, we print on ‘Svanemærket’ and ‘FSC’ paper.
- Our long-term goal is that our international vendors also live up to these requirements.
On top of this, we help make sure all materials designed by us are recycled properly.
- We mark materials directly with recycling instructions or guide the end-user through other means.
TRAVEL
Most of our meetings are remote these days, but now and then face-to-face meetings are necessary. We aim to keep our traveling activities capped relative to our turnover and prioritise sustainable modes of transportation.
- Within the Copenhagen Area, our first choice is the taxi company Viggo, which has a fleet of zero-emission vehicles. We compensate for all other taxi rides, as well as rides in our private cars.
- When it comes to air travel and hotels, we CO2 compensate either via Goodwings or by using airlines that have CO2 compensation included in the ticket price. If this is not possible, we make the compensation ourselves.
- When buying compensation, we choose vendors who invest the money in projects that support making space for nature and rewilding, preferably locally.
OTHER INITIATIVES
Beyond more sustainable printing and traveling, we have made a few other choices to limit our impact.
- Since 2022 we have sourced our electricity from Vindstød which offers CO2-neutral renewable energy.
- In 2018 we switched to an all-vegetarian lunch menu. We encourage our colleagues to take home leftover food to minimize food waste. Any additional leftovers we deliver to a homeless shelter.
- We buy our coffee from Ønsk, a Danish Coffee company that purchases all their coffee directly from small farms in Nicaragua to ensure fair pay.
