ESG and sustainability in moving: How can we do more for the environment?

Use of eco-friendly packing materials

Traditional moving often results in large amounts of single-use packing materials being discarded. To reduce this:

• We use recycled and biodegradable boxes.
• We offer reusable plastic crates to our clients.
• We apply paper-based tape and natural fillers instead of plastic alternatives.

‍

Energy-efficient vehicle fleet

One of the biggest environmental impacts of moving comes from fuel consumption and emissions. To address this:

• We use modern trucks with low emissions or electric alternatives.
• We apply optimized route planning to reduce empty trips.
• We encourage our clients to consolidate items into a single move to avoid unnecessary trips.

‍

Recycling of furniture and items

During moves, many unwanted furniture pieces and other items often end up in landfills. To prevent this:

• We've partnered with donation organizations to rehome usable furniture.
• We provide recycling options, including pick-up of furniture and electronic devices.
• We inform our clients on how to reduce waste during their move.

‍

Digital documentation and paperless processes

To reduce paper-based administration:

• We use digital contracts and invoicing systems.
• We provide online customer service for document handling.
• We send electronic receipts and notifications, minimizing the need for printed materials.

‍

Employee training in sustainability

Sustainability is only successful if our team is also committed. Therefore:

• We hold regular training sessions on environmentally friendly work practices.
• We encourage employees to use sustainable transport (e.g., public transport, bicycles).
• We set sustainability goals that we achieve together as a team.
