Sustainability at Kaufland e-commerce

We want to increase our sustainability: As an employer, we endeavour to make our own contribution to a greener world with large and small changes. Read on to find out about how we’re making it happen.

Sustainability in everyday working life

We are constantly striving to reduce our CO2 footprint and that of our employees. Here’s what we do:

• At KEC, we offer the opportunity to work remotely which reduces our CO2 footprint: Skipping the daily commute means producing significantly less exhaust fumes, as well as using less petrol and fewer resources.
• Online meetings: We can work from anywhere in Germany. To ensure that we don’t have to travel across the country for meetings, we offer them online – regardless of whether it’s a jour fixe with a colleague from your team or a company-wide monthly.
• As paper-free as possible: Printing is a thing of the past! With a few exceptions, we process and sign documents digitally. This allows us to reduce paper consumption and save as many resources as possible by sending documents by e-mail rather than by post.
• Bye Bye Plastic: In our Cologne office we drink soda and filtered water from the tap instead of buying plastic bottles.

A sustainable application process

We are also trying to reduce the number of journeys involved in the application process. That’s why we keep it all online.

First, all applicants upload their documents to our website. After the initial screening by our HR colleagues, either a telephone interview takes place or the applicants send a video of themselves answering some questions. Depending on the job description, this is followed by an online interview and meetings with the team – face-to-face, but still online and therefore resource-efficient.
