Environmental awareness is becoming increasingly important, and sustainability is now an essential part of the operation of every industry! Talking about it is no longer enough; customers, consumers, partners, and regulators expect concrete actions from everyone. When planning for the year ahead, it’s worth considering what innovative solutions we can implement in our transportation processes. What can we do to reduce emissions? INCON has brought you some interesting tips!
What should we consider next year to reduce our carbon footprint?
Just like every inhabitant of the planet, we need to take steps to operate sustainably! This is also essential in logistics. It is worth incorporating green initiatives and practices into our annual budget, as it not only contributes to the preservation of our planet but also to the long-term success of our company. Let’s think about this: how can we focus on sustainability in our budgeting for the upcoming year?
As we pointed out in our previous post regarding what to pay special attention to in year-end logistics strategies, we would like to highlight a similar topic now!
Our first piece of advice: think about what kind of paper you are using! It is wise to procure only recyclable paper, which can help reduce environmental impact. Reviewing the budget for paper usage and making the right purchases is a crucial step.
Let’s also update our lighting! By replacing old bulbs with energy-saving, warm-light bulbs, we can not only improve our ambiance but also optimize our energy usage. Furthermore, the well-being of our employees plays an important role: planned training sessions, such as stress management or burnout prevention training, are also part of sustainability, as we need happier, healthier workers!
Additionally, offering gym memberships or providing nutritional counseling for the team can also be considered! If the company can afford it, investing in such initiatives is worthwhile, as it benefits the employees and can be seen as a great team-building program.
Let’s not forget about various industry events and gatherings where the company can represent itself, as these provide experiences and strengthen our social responsibility. It’s essential to thoroughly review our office supplies: from stationery to cleaning products, everything must be reconsidered to avoid unnecessary accumulation and ensure that we are using sustainable products.
We are pleased to see that many companies support the use of eco labels, which help promote environmentally conscious purchasing. Therefore, it is worth being mindful to choose products containing the least amount of harmful substances during our purchases.
For INCON, the new work environment brings significant advantages!
Warm light bulbs and beautiful plants not only make the workspace more pleasant but also more inspiring. As our employees look at the green plants, they provide a soothing effect amidst the monotony of work. Additionally, it is worth incorporating our health insurance into the next resources, as employee well-being directly impacts productivity. Introducing air purifiers also seems beneficial: they provide fresher air, thus reducing the spread of illnesses in the office. Experiences show that the right work environment, such as Herman Miller chairs, contributes to everyone’s sense of comfort, allowing a new era of sustainability to begin at INCON! Our colleague Szilvi mentioned that since she started working here, her back no longer hurts!
Now it’s up to us to incorporate these best practices into our plans for the coming year! What do you think about this? Are you considering implementing these? We, at INCON-LOGISTIC Ltd., eagerly await your opinions in the comments section or at info@incon-logistic.hu!
