Environmental protection
EOS supports the Otto Group's climate protection strategy that pursues the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. Together we work on implementing targeted measures.
Reduction of Environmental Footprint: Our contribution to climate protection
Together with the Otto Group, EOS is working on reducing emissions to net zero in the long run. The Otto Group is currently developing a science-based climate goal (based on the Science Based Targets Initiative, SBTi). The joint climate protection strategy is to fully comply with the 1.5-degree Celsius goal of the Paris Agreement. Our original goal of climate neutrality in our own core processes by 2030 is being considered in the development of the strategy and will be part of the future SBT.
"Minutes for Sustainability" are essentially weekly mailings explaining a specific current environmental or social topic to employees in three to five minutes text and image.

We have also established a Teams channel called " Minutes for Sustainability ", where employees share their initiatives, questions and best practices. It has proven to be an excellent platform for promoting employee interaction, facilitating the exchange of ideas, and creating mutual support and inspiration for sustainable practices. It is a beautiful initiative.
By implementing the "Minutes for Sustainability" and establishing the Teams channel, we have created an effective way of educating, raising awareness and promoting dialogue between employees regarding environmental and social topics.
Regular weekly mailings, which offer employees a short overview of current sustainability topics, are extremely useful in spreading knowledge and promoting positive company behaviour changes.
With the help of "Minutes for Sustainability", we covered various topics relevant to sustainable development, such as carbon footprint, emissions, air pollution, sustainability reporting, corporate volunteering, etc. This enabled employees to gain insight into the critical aspects of sustainability and how they affect the company and individuals.
The Teams channel, "Minutes for Sustainability," is an excellent platform for encouraging employee interaction. It allows them to connect, exchange ideas, ask questions, and share best practices, fostering mutual support and inspiration for sustainable practices.
Our initiative, "Minutes for Sustainability", is an outstanding example of how a company actively contributes to raising awareness and educating employees about sustainability.
By doing so, we can promote sustainable practices within the company, increase awareness of the importance of environmental and social responsibility, and positively impact both employees and the environment.
