When it comes to moving, whether to a new home or office, the logistics involved play a crucial role. Packaging, bubble wrap, bags and boxes are central elements in this challenging process. Unfortunately, many of these materials are made of non-recyclable plastic or paper, which turns them into villains once the move is complete, often ending up in landfills and exacerbating pollution and environmental degradation. It’s imperative to think our choices and look for sustainable alternatives to minimize the environmental impact during moves.
At FINK, preserving the environment and adopting sustainable practices are key priorities. The company is not only a leader in moving logistics, but also makes a firm commitment to ecological responsibility in all its operations. By promoting actions that reduce the waste of financial and environmental resources, FINK sets a high standard of environmental awareness, contributing significantly to a greener and more sustainable future. This includes the use of the “GreenFINK” solution, a local transportation service dedicated to preserving the environment. This is a sustainable move, using natural resources conscientiously and packaging made from eco-sustainable materials, which not only protects belongings during the move, but also fosters a conscious transition in line with contemporary environmental values.
In addition to GreenFINK, FINK also adopts practices such as reusing wood in the manufacture of packaging and crates, helping to reduce waste. Internally, the company has completely replaced its traditional lighting system with high-efficiency LED bulbs, resulting in significant savings in renewable energy. In addition, it has incorporated translucent roof tiles into its warehouse, allowing it to handle loads during the day without relying on electricity.
Regarding to water use, FINK has installed special gutters to capture rainwater, which is used to flush toilets, wash the fleet and irrigate the gardens. In addition, it has adopted composting practices, turning fallen leaves into fertilizer for the gardens, promoting sustainability and the efficient growth of green spaces. The company is also committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, not just by offsetting them through the purchase of carbon credits, but by implementing concrete measures to effectively reduce them.
FINK is a signatory to the ECOVADIS platform and strictly follows its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessment methodology, which covers 21 criteria grouped into the environment, labor practices and human rights, fair trade practices and sustainable purchasing. These criteria are based on international CSR standards, such as the Global Compact Principles, International Labor Organization (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard, the ISO 26000 standard and the CERES principles.
FINK is not only committed to reduce its own environmental footprint, but also to operating ethically and responsibly in all aspects of its value chain. These practices not only reinforce its position as a leader in the moving and logistics segment, but also demonstrate a tangible commitment to global sustainability, nature and social well-being. In this way, FINK’s active participation in wider solutions to global environmental challenges reinforces its role as an exemplary agent of positive change in the sector.
In this way, FINK illustrates that it is possible to achieve business success while promoting a more sustainable future for all, reflecting its vision for the next generations, its strategic partnership and its commitment to this shared global challenge.
