Hansel reducing its ecological footprint
Hansel is a member of the Green Office network in Finland, which includes 150 different organisations. Green Office is an environmental programme developed by WWF Finland. Its objectives include reducing the environmental burden caused by offices.
Sustainable development is taken into account in Hansel’s internal operations. Hansel keeps track of environmental key figures for the consumption of electricity and paper, travel, and equipment and furniture procurement. WWF’s Climate Calculator, which is a Green Office tool, has been utilised in the calculations. Emission figures have not been adjusted in proportion to growth in business or personnel.
