ECOLOGICAL RESPONSIBILITY
Based on the 17 UN sustainability goals, Max uses green electricity, doesn’t own a car and instead rides his bike or uses public transport. Also for longer business or private trips he likes to take the train, public transport or rent a bike to minimise his carbon footprint.
Around 50% of his clothes are second-hand and he rarely buys new clothes. Instead of throwing away clothes, furniture, electrical equipment and other things, he tries to repair or upcycle them. He buys refurbished electrical stuff or rents them. He only uses recycled paper for printing and tries to avoid printing. Max separates his waste and tries to minimise it. His communication with his clients is almost entirely digital.
He critically reviews his own actions and constantly tries to optimise them.
Admitting mistakes and being open to change and adaptation are essential - because nobody is perfect.

It will therefore be circular.”
