» General

We have only one environment!

Under this motto we take various measures to protect our environment. You as a customer are cordially invited to participate with an environmental euro. When you buy a gift box, we will transfer this amount to our partner "Climate Partner" to support sustainable projects. In the selection of projects, we also pay attention to the support of their own country, for example, German hydroelectric power plants.

In addition to the environment Euro, we pay great attention to recycled materials, these are used by us for example in our gift boxes, wrapping paper, colored sizzle and shipping materials. Without any loss of quality.

Our company headquarters is completely built with photovoltaics, in our offices we work almost paper-free.

With our strong partner DHL on our side, we deduct costs for each package to restore climate neutrality. More information: www.dhl.de/go-green

When selecting our products, we always strive to enforce short delivery routes.
