Overall Environment

21. Briefly describe practical actions the company has taken during the reporting period and/or plans to take to implement the environment principles, including any challenges faced and actions taken towards prevention and/or remediation.

Rund 75% der Veranstaltungen, Produktionen und Kommunikationskampagnen fanden im Berichtszeitraum virtuell statt - das reduzierte sowohl die Mobilitätskosten als auch die Produktionskosten von Medien diesen Prozentsatz zum Vergleichszeitraum der Vorjahre bis März 2020. MOBILITÄT: - Fahrgemeinschaften mit Agenturfahrzeugen in Lockdownphasen, 5 Agentur-Mitarbeitende nutzen ausschließlich ÖPNV, 2 Mitarbeitende nutzen ein privates Hybrid- bzw. E-Fahrzeug. 2 weitere Mitarbeitende werden den ÖPNV ab 1. Juni 2022, teils in Kombination mit dem Fahrrad, mit dem 9-Euro-Ticket für den ÖPNV testen, um ggf. langfristig auf den ÖPNV umzusteigen. - - Die 5 Agenturfahrzeuge verbleiben so lange wie möglich im Fahrzeugpool und werden dann nach genauer Bedarfsprüfung gegen ein umweltfreundlicheres Fahrzeug ersetzt. Oder der Fuhrpark wird verkleinert. - Bei unserem 3-tägigen Agentur-Strategieworkshop im Januar 2022 haben wir bewusst auf Flüge verzichtet und sind in drei vollbesetzten Agenturfahrzeugen gereist. RESSOURCENSCHONUNG: - Keine Verwendung von Plastikflaschen in der Agentur und Agenturaktion mit Versand von 500 Gläsern und dem Aufruf, Leitungswasser zu trinken (https://www.agentur-ressmann.de/jeder-tropfen-zaehlt/) -Stromsparende Geräte, wie Laptops, Bildschirme, Drucker etc. - werden über Nacht und die Wochenenden ausgeschaltet. Bei Neuanschaffungen ist die Energieeffizienz eines jeden Geräts, von der Kaffeemaschine bis zu Laptops, Rechnern etc., ausschlaggebend. - Papiersparendes Büro: Wir drucken keinerlei Dokumente aus, die wir nicht wirklich in Papierform benötigen. WIEDERVERWERTBARKEIT / RE- UND UPCYCLING: - Von aufmerksamer Mülltrennung bis zur Tauschbörse in der Agentur über die konsequente Beratung unserer Kunden hinsichtlich des Einsatzes wiederverwendbarer Materialien und Produkten, Mietmöbeln etc.: Wiederverwertbarkeit sowie Re- und Upcycling hat in unserem Tun seit Jahren einen bedeutenden Stellenwert. EINSPARUNG über den gesamten Berichtszeitraum: - Insgesamt konnten wir über virtuelle Veranstaltungen (z. B. entfallende Mobilität der Teilnehmenden, Kunden sowie Agenturteam ), Meetings, Abstimmungen und Homeoffice der Agenturmitarbeitenden rund 300.000 kg CO2 gegenüber den Jahr vor der Pandemie einsparen.

8. Briefly describe practical actions the company has taken during the reporting period and/or plans to take to implement the anti-corruption principle, including any challenges faced and actions taken towards prevention and/or remediation.

Wir messen alle an Leistungen, Qualität und Kosten. Auch uns selbst. Angebotsvergleiche, Mehr-Augen-Prinzip und transparente Geschäftsabläufe, präzise Abrechnung nach Originalbelegen und die sofortige Meldepflicht an und die Aufklärung durch die Geschäftsführung sind für uns seit Jahren selbstverständlich. Wir lehnen jede Art von Korruption, einschließlich Bestechung und Erpressung, strikt ab. Es gibt aktuell keinen wirklichen Anlass, einen Mitarbeitenden als Antikorruptionsbeauftragte zu schulen, wie z. B. durch UN Global Compact Sessions. Sollte sich hierzu in den nächsten Monaten oder Jahren ein Anlass ergeben, werden wir diese Maßnahme umgehend realisieren.
