Ordering

• Fewer online orders lead to fewer emissions that would otherwise be generated during the transport of goods. A guideline such as “Do not buy from large online retailers like Amazon” supports local economies.

• Demand-orientated order planning is helpful in the attempt to conserve resources and avoid waste. It also helps avoid returns.

• Comparing offers from regional and environmentally friendly suppliers is helpful in reducing CO2 emissions and supports the local economy.

• Less (plastic) packaging leads to less waste and promotes the sustainable use of resources.
