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.
