Whether you work from home or in a traditional office, you can easily add a sustainable touch to your job. Because you can always go greener! Here are our tips for your eco-friendly working space. Shhhh... these ingenious tips are also great for your university lifestyle. Let's work on it together!

Hack 1: Use Energy-Saving Gadgets
Bye-bye energy waste! For environmentally friendly working, use energy-efficient office equipment that not only reduces your electricity bill but also protects the environment. These include computers, laptops, printers, and screens. And there are solar chargers for your mobile devices. Good to know: By reducing our operational emissions, we at Dole are also taking an important step in the fight against climate change. We are working on using sustainable energy sources to power our ships and vehicles, our agricultural equipment and our processing and packaging plants in the long term. 

Hack 2: Sustainable Office Materials – Pens, Paper, and Co.
When it comes to office equipment, there are numerous ways to make your desk more sustainable. For a greener office, opt for practical little helpers made from recycled or biodegradable raw materials – the environment will thank you for it. How about pens made from recycled plastics? Try upcycling too! Empty tin cans can be turned into pen holders and wooden crates can be used as storage.

Hack 3: Digitisation Instead of a Flood of Paper
Goodbye paper desert! Digitisation offers a sustainable alternative to traditional paper. Try electronic documents and emails when working in an environmentally friendly way to minimise paper consumption. Use cloud-based platforms and tools for collaboration. Replace paper notepads with digital note-taking apps or tablets. Reduces business travel through online meetings and video conferencing. And switches to electronic invoicing. Practical!

Hack 4: Car Sharing – Traveling Greener Together
Goodbye, lonely car journeys! In today's world, where mobility has a significant impact on the environment, car sharing offers new opportunities. By sharing journeys with col-leagues, you can not only reduce traffic, but also make a simple and effective contribution to climate protection. Many car sharing providers also use low-emission vehicles. Top! 

Hack 5: Environmental Actions for All – Teamwork for Nature
Creative environmental campaigns combine team spirit and ecological responsibility. Organise tree planting campaigns to preserve biodiversity. Start joint clean-up campaigns in your neighbourhood. Collect old electronic devices, batteries, or other recyclable materials in your office to dispose of them. Get creative with an upcycling work-shop. Together you create new things from supposedly useless objects. 

Green office, happy planet!
