Running on 100% renewable energy

It is essential we discover processes within our daily operations which are more effective, efficient and sustainable. A big part of this is utilising renewable energy to run our operations. This is where we can have a direct impact on our footprint. 

A critical part of Boozt’s goal has always been to scale up the use of renewable energy. We rely fully on clean energy sources to power our services to our customers. The digital footprint of our business is offset as all servers are hosted via Google Cloud Platform, which runs 100% on renewable energy. The 2018 installation of solar panels on the roof of our warehouse brought us a step closer to being completely energy self-sufficient. Any energy we do not produce is from renewable sources such as wind, water and solar. 

At 42,000 m2, our fulfilment centre remains the largest building within our operations and demands the highest energy consumption. As a Green Building certified facility, our fulfilment centre operations are driven by energy-efficient and modern technology. The electricity we purchase at the fulfilment centre is from hydropower that is 100% renewable and environmentally declared according to the EPD R system. 

In the spring of 2019, our head office moved to a new Eminent building in Hyllie, Malmö. Eminent is environmentally certified with Miljöbyggnad Gold level, a Swedish environmental certification for sustainable buildings by the Sweden Green Building Council. This certification guarantees a reduction of energy consumption by 25% compared to conventional buildings. 

Through studying our energy patterns, we are continuously improving and learning to optimise the efficiency of our operations to uncover energy-saving opportunities. Running our business on 100% renewable energy is an important step to leading the progress towards a more responsible industry.
