SUSTAINABILITY
Read on for what sustainability really means to us, what we already do in this area and what we plan to implement going forward.
GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN
A VISION
FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
We acknowledge our potential and undertake to do our bit in a more sustainable world. We aim to produce less waste and make our operations more sustainable – throughout the entire supply chain. From production to packaging to retail delivery. Of course, our efforts continue, but we are striving step by step to be more future-proof.
THERE IS NO PLAN(ET) B!
At ANNY, we care about the Earth’s future!
Developing and improving is our ongoing quest. In the process, we want to improve our sustainability whenever possible. Read more here about what we are already doing in this area today:
USE OF FSC-CERTIFIED AND CLIMATE NEUTRAL FOLDING CARTONS
We use FSC-certified paper for all our ANNY folding boxes. We also use mineral-oil-free printing inks, most of which are made from renewable raw materials
and made using zero cobalt.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
We are proud to employ over 250 home workers from the region in our company. This is one of our versatile working models.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROJECT: OUR OWN FOREST PROJECT
In cooperation with our partner DEUTIM, we are supporting an environmental protection project that is making the “Augsburg Westliche Wälder” nature reserve “fit for the future” and helping to preserve the local forest for future generations in the long term. We achieve this by reforesting clear-cut areas and converting monocultures into climate-stable mixed forests. We contribute to the protection of nature and can restore biodiversity. We want to preserve the beauty of regional forests and habitats. To do this, we plant a fixed number of trees in our ARTDECO Group forest every year for the next 10 years.
COMMITMENT
Every year, we feed over 80,000 kWh of energy captured by our solar panels on the roof into the grid.
CO² REDUCTION
We can reduce CO2 emissions by switching from DHL to DHL Go Green.
GREEN ELECTRICITY
We have been using green electricity on our company premises since 2022 and at our warehouse since 2024. We have also expanded our network of electric charging stations and now offer 17 charging points.
SOCIAL COMMITMENT
We continuously support various organizations through donations and contracts to promote their work toward fair human coexistence. We also provide hands-on support through our own corporate volunteering program.
SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT TRANSPORT PACKAGING
Company-wide, sustainability matters to ANNY throughout the entire value chain. This also designing our transport packaging to be more sustainable – not only at ANNY, but also our partners’ sites. In this way, we strive ceaselessly to identify new savings potential and implement material changes accordingly.
OUR PRIORITIES
At ANNY, we want to examine different dimensions of sustainability in business challenges. In other words, questioning and changing how we develop, produce and act. Because nothing outweighs safety and quality for us. Other musts include being brave, taking responsibility and setting challenging goals. After all: “There is no plan(et) B.”
HIGH STANDARDS, HIGH VALUES
ANNY pledges to meet its social, ecological and economic responsibilities for employees, customers and future generations. With our values in mind, greater transparency, responsibility and innovative capability, we want to further refine our processes and products step by step.
OUR JOURNEY TOWARDS GREATER SUSTAINABILITY...
…is a continuous process that requires commitment, perseverance, and a willingness to rethink and improve existing practices. Our goal is to achieve a long-term balance between the three pillars of sustainability: environmental protection, social justice, and economic prosperity.
Our commitment is therefore divided into three areas:
RESPONSIBLE = a viable world. Here we report on our economic activities, company facts, and employees.
CONSCIOUS = a livable world. Here we provide information about what we are doing to preserve our natural environment.
CARING = a just world. Here we highlight our contribution to a fairer and more inclusive society.
Our corporate values of transparency, responsibility, and innovation accompany us on our journey. And: For us, strong partnerships and cohesion are crucial to consistently implementing sustainable action worldwide.
