What motivates Nowy Styl to think and act in a holistically sustainable manner?

“Sustainable development is more important than ever today, both to people and the environment. Therefore, economical use of resources is simply a matter of course at Nowy Styl. In the long term, business success is not possible without sustainable action. It is an increasingly decisive factor influencing the competitive position of enterprises in all areas, from cost optimization to the development of new product lines” explains Thomas Windeler, responsible for quality, environment and energy management at Nowy Styl.

Nowy Styl has been awarded as The most environmentally friendly office! What does the implementation of green guidelines look like in practice?

“The company wants to stand out not only with its holistic office furnishings, but also with its approach to development, production and logistics, where we focus on proven, environmentally friendly materials and processes. We think of quality and sustainability as the two most important factors,” says Thomas Windeler.

“Caring for the environment has a significant impact on the daily work at Nowy Styl. We constantly analyse how we can improve the consumption of energy, water and resources, and we take appropriate action. In addition to internal committees and meetings, external meetings and programmes such as ‘Energy Scouts’ are also used to effectively discuss development opportunities,” he adds.
