In recent years, more and more companies have been working on their green image. There are more and more environmentally conscious consumers who feel good by acting environmentally conscious. Good sustainable branding benefits them and thus creates a positive brand experience.
To boost your green image, you must not only say it but also do it! It is important that your brand is consistent and that you do not pretend to be greener than you are. Acting environmentally conscious has many benefits. For instance, an environmentally conscious choice can create a positive brand association and also be good for your wallet!
Power consumption
By reducing your company's energy consumption, you save costs on your energy bill and reduce indirect CO2 production. Sustainable investments are often tax deductible and usually pay for themselves over time.
What can you do to reduce power consumption?
- Do not leave lights on
- Do not leave appliances running that do not need to be running
- Adjust air conditioning properly
- Switch to green energy or generate green energy yourself
Choose recyclable packaging. Did you know you can recycle your empty coffee cup at paper and cardboard?

Climate offset
First, you try to suppress CO2 emissions. But it is almost impossible to have no (indirect) CO2 emissions. To offset the CO2 your business emits, you can invest in planting trees. Trees can take that CO2 out of the air again. If you offset all CO2 emissions, you can even call yourself CO2 neutral!
Make use of sustainable materials
Everything your business purchases has an impact on the environment. Take a moment to think about what materials/ingredients your business needs. From the paper in the printer to the products you sell. What could be greener? Look at companies with green labels and learn about the different types of materials. Want to replace your packaging materials with ecological alternatives? Then Biopack is the place to be!
Show it!
A green company deserves a green image! Show the customer what you are doing. Are you making a green investment? Then share this briefly on social media. Make the use of your ecological choices, like green materials, clear to the customer. This way, environmentally conscious consumers can identify with your brand!
Environmentally conscious customers also like to share their environmentally conscious choices, so it is to your advantage to really come forward as a green company!
Company bicycles
Biopack invested in electric company bicycles. These bikes enable more colleagues to leave the car at home and come to work in a more sustainable way, without having to buy an e-bike themselves. In this way, Biopack contributes to a greener future and reduces its carbon footprint.
Heating one degree lower
We all have a lovely thick fleece jumper so the heating at our desks can be a degree lower.
Filtered drinking water
We have filtered water throughout the building, so we don't have to transport bottled water.
Solar panels
Biopack has also invested in sustainability in other ways. For example, there are solar panels on the building, allowing it to use green energy.
Through these investments in sustainability, Biopack shows that the company is aware of the impact it has on the environment and is doing everything it can to reduce this impact. Biopack is thus not only betting on a greener future, but also contributing to a healthier living environment for everyone.
