Sustainability in a company has become something that has become very standard nowadays. It is not the case that all sustainable organizations and sustainable entrepreneurship can be hidden under a bushel. This has to do with roughly three different reasons. First of all government control, secondly the conscious consumer who chooses sustainable companies and of course the conscious entrepreneur who wants to contribute to the transition and a cleaner, sustainable future.
Sustainable entrepreneurship is no longer a free choice
Years ago, there was a call for sustainable entrepreneurship and as a sustainable (or more sustainable) company you immediately had a way to use extra marketing. Nowadays we can no longer say that sustainable (or socially and environmentally conscious) entrepreneurship is a free choice. There are many rules that have to be taken into account, large consumers are punished and green images attract the customers you need to make ends meet. Companies that say they 'choose' a more sustainable way of doing business mainly mean that they go further than the regulations prescribe.
As a sustainable company you attract more turnover, but how does sustainability work in a company?
Keeping an eye on energy consumption, separating waste and using the available resources sparingly, we are all familiar with that by now. When it comes to companies that really want to become more sustainable, it is mainly about generating the necessary energy themselves (for example by using solar panels) or making the vehicle fleet more sustainable by opting for electric cars.
These are not decisions that you take overnight. These are major investments that will gradually pay for themselves in the coming years. It is good to take this into account. Of course, the payback period also depends entirely on the size of the investment and your situation. After all, a company that drives many kilometers per day will earn back a solar panel charging station much faster than a company that occasionally drives a company car.
In sustainability, it is also very important to look at the various possible facets of sustainable entrepreneurship. If you cannot have solar panels installed (for example due to the location of your company or because you simply do not have a physical building), there are still more than enough options to make it more sustainable. Perhaps with a charging station , perhaps by reducing power consumption or simply by opting for recycled products. After all, every little bit helps.
Have you already thought about charging stations for staff, guests and your own fleet?
Since we are the market leader in the field of charging solutions for electric cars, machines and devices, we want to pay some extra attention to the charging station within the framework of sustainability. There is a lot of uncertainty among entrepreneurs, which causes the postponement or delay of investing in a charging station and charging facilities on the company premises. That is a shame, because many of our customers only realize after the charging station has been installed that they should have done this much earlier.
Charging stations on the company premises are useful. They can be used to charge your own electric cars in your fleet, guests and customers can charge their electric cars during a visit and your staff can connect their EV to the charger while working. So this is not just about sustainability because of helping people with an electric car, but also about a big piece of service and convenience.
What many entrepreneurs also miss is that there are numerous subsidies that you can use. You must meet a number of conditions to be able to use this, but even if you can only use part of the subsidies, you will be hundreds of euros cheaper, which makes the step to your own charging station on your property considerably smaller.
Finally, don't forget that business parks with a public parking lot must be equipped with a charging station from 2025. Are you already working on sustainable entrepreneurship and do you want to move towards ecological enterprises by reducing your ecological footprint now? Then this could be a perfect time to invest in charging stations or even mobile chargers for the EVs in your own fleet.
