Nagel-Group employees contribute ideas for more sustainability
With its sustainability initiative WE.Move – Be part of our movement, Nagel-Group has created a company-wide framework for promoting sustainable ideas from within its own organisation. The aim was to gather ideas on how to further strengthen resource conservation, efficiency and responsible behaviour in everyday working life.
The response to WE.Move was great: numerous ideas were submitted from different areas and work contexts. They ranged from practical optimisation approaches to new ways of thinking about sustainable processes. This made it clear that sustainability is not only thought of strategically, but is firmly anchored in the everyday work of many employees.
As part of the campaign, five particularly convincing ideas were honoured for their clear sustainability focus, practicality and added value for the company. They exemplify the innovative strength within Nagel-Group and show how sustainable solutions arise where processes are lived out daily.
The award-winning ideas address the following topics, among others:
- Measurability and transparency of sustainability, for example through comparable key figures and location-specific considerations
- Energy efficiency in operations, for example through more conscious use of electricity and temperature control in logistics centres
- Pragmatic solutions in everyday working life that can lead to measurable savings using simple means
- Motivation and participation of employees to promote sustainable behaviour in the long term
The award-winning ideas thus reflect technical, organisational and cultural aspects of sustainable corporate development.
‘The campaign shows how much commitment and responsibility our employees have. I would like to thank everyone who contributed their ideas and thus actively contributed to the sustainable development of Nagel-Group,’ says Hendrik Krukow, Executive Director Sales & Marketing.
WE.Move makes it clear that sustainable development is not a single project, but rather the result of the interplay of many perspectives. The campaign has demonstrated how valuable ideas from everyday working life are in developing sustainability as an ongoing process.
As a visible sign of this commitment, a tree will be planted for every project idea submitted. In this way, WE.Move combines concrete participation with a long-term contribution and makes it clear that sustainable action grows from many individual ideas.
WE.Move is part of Nagel-Group’s comprehensive approach to sustainability. The company pursues a holistic sustainability strategy that takes equal account of environmental, social and corporate responsibility. The ideas submitted show how the company’s sustainability strategy is being supplemented and further developed by concrete impulses from everyday working life.
