EHL and Sustainability
28
Responsible Consumption and Production
Environmentally compatible and resource conserving production processes, the reduction of waste and emissions, and support for more sustainable consumption are further important goals. We have examined our internal shopping lists to identify opportunities for more sustainable procurement – and have already implemented a number of these ideas. For example: EHL purchases organic, aluminium-free packaged fair trade coffee, whose raw materials can be traced back to the producing organisation. Plant- based milk alternatives and “rescued“ fruit is also available. (See section 4 for details). Our internal construction management department works together with our customers on resource conserving thermal renovation projects. In the administrative area, we count on environmentally conscious work and repairs instead of hasty disposal.
The EHL market reports are published on environmentally friendly paper and are no longer shrink wrapped. Our advertising items like pens and USB sticks have been converted to environmentally friendly substitutes which, where possible, are made of domestic beech wood. Plans also call for the changeover of further advertising and printed materials to more environmentally friendly alternatives. Customers interested in viewing properties on site receive a digital summary before the appointment, and tablets provide additional information at the location. Pre-printed brochures have been discontinued. Tablets are also used for transfers and site inspections. Digitalised property marketing saves substantial resources, and our customers still receive optimal information. Examples are our 360° online tours and our customer platform for rentals.
