In addition to the sustainable impact of our momox circular economy, we are taking our efforts to the next level with green and social initiatives. We’ll introduce you to a few of them here:
We regularly support projects we trust and build partnerships centred on sustainability. We partner with both small local project teams and large international organisations. You can view the breakdown of our donations and find out which organisations we are currently supporting here.
We use recycled corrugated cardboard for orders of fashion items and systematically reduce our use of packing material. In addition, the materials we use for sending and storing items, such as adhesive tape, boxes and cartons, are made of environmentally-friendly or recycled fibres.
What about Christmas presents and other gifts for momox employees? We do without them. Every year, we select projects we are passionate about and feel particularly connected to and present them with donations equating to the value of internal gifts as part of an initiative entitled Time to give back.
For several years now, we have been using pallets with a lifetime guarantee for internal shipments. We use these in place of cardboard boxes, which can only be reused up to three times. These also allow us to increase our transport volumes and save journeys as the pallets can be stacked higher in our lorries.
As part of an initiative called momox forest, 30 momox team members planted seedlings in an existing woodland located in a forest plantation area that had been prepared by a forester. The goal is to build a robust mixed forest with new, additional broad-leafed trees.
Light is essential, but there are light sources that allow us to move away from energy guzzlers and instead give precedence to sustainable options. We have therefore switched from conventional light sources to LEDs at all our sites and transitioned to green electricity in Germany. By doing so, we saved up to 1,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2022 alone.
An independent momox team met at least once a month to set and realise annual and quarterly goals as part of the OKR cycle workpath. Recently, nine colleagues from the HR, marketing, logistics, IT, controlling, office management and business development departments represented various perspectives in the company with the aim of driving forward environmentally-friendly change on the widest possible scale. Currently, we are continuing to realise annual goals and projects, which are mostly reflected in the Objectives and Key Results of various other teams, without an independent team.
