Our Responsibility
At OOTB, our promise of joy and surprise is not limited to our products – it is an integral part of how we act as a company. Responsibility towards our employees, our partners, the community and our planet is deeply rooted in our culture. Here is how we live up to this commitment:
-
1. Environment
We take environmental protection seriously and continuously work on reducing our ecological footprint.
- Plastic reduction: We carefully balance responsibility with practicality. Simply discarding all existing plastic materials would create more waste – therefore, we avoid “quick fixes” and instead focus on sustainable alternatives in all new product developments. Our goal: eliminating single-use plastics wherever possible.
- Renewable energy: Since 2019, our photovoltaic system on the roof of our offices and warehouses has been generating clean electricity. We produce more power than we consume, actively reducing our carbon footprint. Environmental awareness can also come “out of the blue”!
