In the first quarter we implemented a new software called d.velop. This Document Management Software (DMS) helps us to reduce paper usage and to promote sustainability through digitizing, organizing, and securing our documents. It is mainly used for bookkeeping files and supports many AI tools for example transfering files automatically to DATEV, the main german accounting software.
We received positive feedback from our colleagues due to higher working efficiency achieved through less copies and better searching tools.
There are many useful tools available in the market to digitize business workflows. We try to go one step after another to keep our team motivated to accept the change. The next step is already planned…

Repeated attacks by the Houthis in Yemen on container ships in the Red Sea have caused sea freight rates to skyrocket. A third of the world’s container cargo is shipped via route Egypt’s Suez Canal connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean and is the fastest route to transport fuel, food and consumer goods from Asia and the Middle East to Europe.
Until early January, more than 180 ships had already been rerouted around the South African Cape of Good Hope to avoid the attacks. This increased travel times by seven to 20 days. Although rates have soared, they are still well below the pandemic-related record of $14,000 per container for shipments from Asia to northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

Sustainability is dynamic. But it’s most efficient when everyone participates. This is why we are working together with all our partners to walk this path as one.
Next steps
Besides taking part in the EcoVadis rating, we’re currently adapting measures to track and analyze the whole supply chain. Through this, there’s still a lot of potentials to optimize. Especially the critical evaluation of Scope-3-Emissions is a key duty for us. We will particularly focus on our Asian manufacturers who are in close contact. Together we will stay progressive.
We are on our way and we won’t stop!
