We believe that there is still a lot of untapped potential. Here is what we are currently working on:
Logistics and communications with customers
Reducing the amount of paper used in the picking process
Reducing return rates in sales and rejection rates in purchasing
Reducing the number of internal transport routes
Sustainable transport via slow shipping (longer delivery times due to more efficient routes, transport by train or fewer partial shipments) and shipping to parcel lockers
Packaging: enhancing packaging and shipping bags
Optimising external servers and IT processes
Optimising the recycling process for unsold garments & accessories in the spirit of the circular economy
Providing information about CO2 emissions generated by medimops items, which clearly shows how much CO2 customers save by buying each item/p>
Office & people
Maintaining the 50% female quota in management positions in Berlin and increasing the percentage of women in management positions in Leipzig and Szczecin
Reducing the sickness rate, esp. at logistics sites
Additional environmental protection initiatives and raising awareness of sustainability
Long-term measures: reducing rather than offsetting
We are currently focusing on reducing our CO2 emissions instead of offsetting them. That way, we can go straight to the source and develop a long-term environmental solution. However, we do not rule out the use of offsetting schemes in the future and have already found promising partners specialised in forest management and offsetting.
