EHL and the Environment
36
Small measure, big effect
Milk consumption
We started to also offer plant-based milk alternatives (oat und soy milk) for coffee in mid-2022. The production of oat and soy milk requires only 48, respectively 28 litres of water. In contrast, the production of one litre of cow’s milk requires many times these amounts, namely 628 litres of water.
Moreover, the production of animal milk requires more than 11-times the space than the production of plant- based milk and causes three-times more greenhouse gases. The gratifying result: Employees who are lactose intolerant or vegan have a healthy alternative – and EHL has reduced the negative effects on the environment: 109,920 litres of water 1,522 sqm of space 422.8 kg greenhouse gases (CO2EQ)
