Sustainability at IFAK
Conserving resources
Responsible use of finite resources is an important issue for us. To avoid consuming more than necessary when it comes to resources like electricity, water and gas, we worked together as a team to develop a code of conduct for sustainable use.
Recycling
At IFAK, recycling doesn’t just mean using waste intelligently, as compost for example, it also means preventing waste from being generated in the first place. For instance, we are using more and more refillable office supplies like pens and cleaning products, and we opted to consume filtered tap water instead of water in plastic bottles.
Biodiversity
Sustainability is not only an indoor thing at IFAK. Outdoors, we focus on biodiversity with activities including planting wildflower strips, setting up nesting sites for birds, and winter feeding.
Photovoltaics
Thanks to our photovoltaic system on the roof of our company building, we produce a large part of our own electricity. We are less dependent on our electricity provider, and we produce and use our own renewable electricity.
