Resource-saving behavior in everyday office life and the consideration of environmental aspects when purchasing office supplies are of great importance. With the "Office & Environment" competition, BAUM honors pioneers and thus draws attention to this important topic. The patron of the competition is Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze.
"A big thank you goes to all of our employees who take part and try every day, even with new ideas, to waste as little resources and energy as possible. Our philosophy is to actively live the respect for society and nature. “, Michael Bleicher, founder of bb-net media GmbH.
The idea of sustainability runs like a red thread through all areas of the company. Through constant review and optimization, all processes in the Schweinfurt Technology Center are becoming greener and more environmentally friendly. A decisive step here has also been climate neutrality since the beginning of 2020. The balancing act to act economically and sustainably is often not easy and sometimes you have to think outside the box. Bb-net sees itself as a role model and source of ideas for other companies.

In the 13th year of the competition, you have once again shown great commitment to the careful use of resources in everyday office life“, Says project manager Dieter Brübach, member of the board of BAUM eV
