Environment and climate
Reducing our environmental footprint remains one of our CSR goals, and we remain committed to optimising our energy consumption, purchasing, waste handling and canteen services. We are more than 400 people in a 17,000 sqm domicile, and while we cannot move mountains in terms of our environmental behaviour, we wish to continually improve our efforts and do the best we can.
DURING THE PAST YEAR, PLESNER HAS TAKEN A GIANT LEAP TOWARDS AN EVEN HEALTH- IER FOOD PROFILE. JUST A FEW MONTHS INTO THE PROGRAMME, PLESNER’S GREEN LINE HAS BECOME A SUCCESS THANKS TO A WIDESPREAD READINESS FOR CHANGE.
We changed caterers during the reporting period, with our canteen now run by Fazer. We maintain our silver ecolabel and have defined a number of key action areas fo-
cused on healthier food and less food waste in order to benefit the climate, the environ- ment and our health.
