Sustainability at Arepo is not only the subject of our projects and consulting work, but also a guiding principle for how we operate. In our day-to-day office work, our mobility and the way we collaborate, we aim to use resources responsibly, reduce emissions and take both environmental and social responsibility seriously.
Using Resources Responsibly
We aim to source office materials and equipment as sustainably as possible and use furniture, technical equipment and other resources for as long as possible. We use recycled paper for notebooks, printed materials and business cards, keep printing to a minimum, avoid unnecessary waste and purchase electricity from renewable sources.
We also apply environmental criteria to food and catering. Wherever possible, we favour organic and plant-based options. Waste that cannot be avoided in our daily office routine is, of course, separated and disposed of appropriately.
Climate-Friendly Mobillity
For us, sustainable working also means keeping the emissions associated with our mobility as low as possible. Arepo covers the cost of the Deutschlandticket for employees, supporting the use of public transport in everyday life.
Business travel within Germany and to neighbouring countries that are easily accessible by rail is generally undertaken by train. We avoid air travel wherever possible, although flights cannot always be avoided in our international projects. Where flying is necessary, we aim to combine trips and appointments in order to reduce overall travel and the associated emissions.
Continuously Improving Our Sustainability
We see sustainability as a continuous process of improvement. We regularly review the way we work and look for opportunities to do better. Our aim is to reduce the environmental footprint of our work, use resources responsibly and provide good and socially responsible working conditions.
