ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT - HAAR-SHOP.CH IS CLIMATE NEUTRAL

At haar-shop.ch we focus on climate-neutral and sustainable approaches. Despite increasing shipping volumes, we are reducing our CO₂ emissions and offsetting the remaining burden by supporting nature conservation projects.

With our new construction project in Steffisburg, we are creating an efficient building that provides optimal conditions for our growth and climate neutrality.

Our daily commitment

We cover most of our electricity consumption with a photovoltaic system, located on the roof of our logistics hall. With a new power storage system, we are also prepared for power outages and use even more solar power for our own needs.

We use climate-neutrally produced packaging boxes that are adapted to the order volume. We have also introduced an additional packaging size to generate even less waste.

Thanks to our flexible working arrangements, more employees are working from home. This reduces the use of cars and public transport, thereby reducing exhaust emissions, which has a positive impact on the environment.

We only print when necessary and request invoices exclusively in electronic form, which reduces our paper consumption.

Project in Turkey

Geothermal energy Salavatlı, Turkey.

This year, we are offsetting unavoidable CO₂ emissions through a nature conservation project in Turkey.

The Salavatlı power plant in western Turkey generates renewable energy from geothermal sources. Deep boreholes are used to bring hot liquid from underground reservoirs to the surface. In a closed cycle, the resulting steam drives a turbine and generator to produce electricity. The remaining heat is made available to regional greenhouses, while the fluid is returned to the reservoir. This avoids greenhouse gas emissions and replaces fossil fuels.
