"Working sustainably is in our DNA," says Frederiek Rikken, responsible for Meilink's CSR policy. "The choice for green energy from the Netherlands is therefore logical for us. Pure Energie is one of the few providers of genuinely green electricity, and the only energy supplier that reinvests its profits exclusively in wind and solar energy projects. This dark green aspect and the personal contact convinced us to make the switch".
The 300 employees of Meilink will soon receive an extra advantageous offer to switch to Pure Energie themselves. "We think it is important to include our colleagues in our sustainable vision. Therefore, together with Pure Energie, we offer a special collective discount on green electricity and gas."
The sustainability of Meilink
Switching to Pure Energie is a nice step forward in Meilink's sustainability policy. The company has been working on sustainability for years. For example, Meilink recently installed 440 solar panels on one of its factory halls in Borculo, in addition to the 335 panels that were already there. There have also been 363 solar panels on the roof of Meilink Boxmeer since 2015. All wood used for packaging materials bears the FSC and PEFC labels. Wood waste is recycled. In addition, Meilink sponsors the three Dutch Solar Teams.
