What role does the topic of sustainability play in your department and your work?
A huge role. With the topic of organisation, our department is also responsible for recording and managing Commerz Real’s CO2 emissions. We carry out a raft of measures in this regard: we have had green electricity contracts for years, we always check investments such as furniture purchases for environmental compatibility, and wherever technology is modernised, we look for energy-saving solutions, such as lighting that has been converted to LED. But we are also pushing this topic forward with our canteen operators. For example, we no longer use single-use packaging, instead of paper cups, we use a deposit return system, and we consciously supplement the menu with vegetarian and vegan dishes and thus lower-emission dishes.
