Sustainability

For EUROLUB, the topic of sustainability is part of the corporate philosophy, which is why we place particular emphasis on the selection of our service providers.

Our first product is climate neutral

In March this year, as a pioneer in the industry, we made our first product climate-neutral. We had our PCF (Product-Carbon-Footprint) for the article WIV ECO 5W-30 6 liters calculated together with Fokus Zukunft and then made it climate neutral by purchasing high-quality climate protection certificates.

For this were considered:

  • Sales volumes
  • Transport and distribution
  • Packaging
  • Intermediate products (chemicals).

Our company is climate neutral

As a company, we have been voluntarily climate-neutral since 2021.
Based on the CO² footprint, which was created by Fokus Zukunft in accordance with the guidelines of the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol, we compensate for unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing high-quality climate protection certificates. The seal of Fokus Zukunft confirms the proper and legally valid processing.

In the long term, reduction measures should reduce the CO2 footprint as much as possible.

All of our company's emissions were recorded and evaluated by an independent auditor: employees' commutes, heating and paper consumption, and of course the entire vehicle fleet.

Our snack from Fruitful Office

We like to provide our employees with fresh fruit. The selection of the service provider was very important to us for sustainability reasons. Fruitful only supplies us with fruit from producers in Germany, Central and Western Europe and plants a fruit tree in Malawi - Africa for every fruit basket sold.

So far, we have achieved the planting of about 500 fruit trees through 500 fruit baskets collected.

Our packaging disposal with PARTSLIFE

Together with PARTSLIFE, we assume responsibility in the disposal and recycling of products - always with the aim of meeting legal requirements, cost efficiency and with a view to protecting the environment.

Our paper shredding with Shred-it

We already take care to avoid printouts in our daily office routine, but nevertheless quite a bit accumulates. Therefore, it was especially important for us to find a supplier for disposal that recycles 100% of the shredded paper - we found it with Shred-it!
