Environmental protection at Whisky.de - living responsibility consciously
Sustainability is not a trend for us, but an integral part of our corporate philosophy. At Whisky.de, we rely on environmentally friendly technologies, green electricity and energy-efficient processes in the office, warehouse and logistics areas. CO₂ emissions serve as a measurable indicator of our energy consumption. Our aim is to conserve resources, reduce emissions and actively contribute to reducing our ecological footprint.
Whether packaging, shipping or power supply - we are constantly scrutinising and improving every area of our daily activities. Find out more about our specific measures and how we specifically implement environmental protection in our day-to-day work.
What is Whisky.de doing for the environment?
Conserving resources at Whisky.de
Mail order - as Whisky.de operates - is a highly efficient process. Full lorries consume significantly less CO2-generating fuel per whisky parcel than small delivery vans or private cars. Instead of distributing goods to even more sales outlets with many delivery journeys and collecting them home from there with even more empty cars, the mail order business makes a large proportion of these journeys superfluous and thus helps to conserve resources. Instead of lighting and heating salesrooms all over Germany, our office only consumes as much natural gas as a normal detached house. Nevertheless, the delivery of goods and the dispatch of our catalogue generates CO2, which we offset for you via GOGREEN from Deutsche Post at no extra charge. Our parcels have been 'green' since April 2008.
Climate-neutral Internet hosting
If, like most of our customers, you order via the Internet, we have also ensured CO2 neutrality there. Our provider operates our 24-hour Internet server CO2-neutrally using 100% renewable energy.
Electricity from renewable sources
We at Whisky.de also have our sights set on the ambitious goal of 100% CO2 neutrality and thus the conservation of resources. We have already travelled more than half the way with you. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to do. In 2009, for example, we switched our entire electricity supply to electricity from renewable sources. We'll stay on the ball - we promise!
DHL's GOGREEN, FSC and certifications
A mail order company like us not only sends out goods, but also catalogues. On the one hand, in large quantities at the time of new publication. But also regularly in small quantities throughout the year. We are happy to send all our catalogues and all other advertising mailings via GOGREEN. You can recognise this by the GOGREEN logo printed on our envelopes.
Forest Stewardship Council certification
However, more is needed to make a catalogue really green. Paper - like firewood - is naturally CO2-neutral because it is a renewable raw material. Paper is made from wood chips, a waste product of wood processing, and from renewable trees. In principle, this makes paper a CO2-neutral information carrier. But if you overexploit the world's forests, nothing will grow back. Our catalogue printer has therefore been certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) for the use of paper from environmentally and socially responsible forest management.
Conclusion
Whisky.de consistently focuses on efficiency and transparency when it comes to environmental protection: by bundling lorry deliveries instead of individual car journeys, we significantly reduce CO₂ emissions per parcel. Thanks to GOGREEN offsetting, every order is shipped in a climate-neutral way and operated on servers that run on 100% green electricity from renewable sources. Even our traditional catalogues are produced climate-neutrally on FSC-certified paper - so that you feel as comfortable leafing through them as you do with your favourite single malt.
