We for ourselves
Transparent and open communication of the status quo; that's what we recommend to our customers when it comes to how they can bring their sustainability efforts into visibility. So let's get started. And then it's your turn.
E for Environmental
We work remotely, save energy, and advocate for bike commutes to ensure a work-life balance and lower CO2 emissions.
Instead of company cars, we use train services – good for the climate, sometimes even for the wallet.
We largely abstain from using paper, work digitally, and thus actively conserve resources and forests.
Meetings, presentations & co. are digital. For genuine laughter and essential travel, we are happy to meet in person from time to time.
We work with modern, energy-efficient technology. Because we do not reject technology, but wastefulness.
S for Social
For the onboarding of new team members, we meet for several days in person. This helps us create closeness right from the start.
We meet for cooking at least once a year with the whole team – shared time strengthens our cohesion.
The goals, which we define and redefine participatively, provide us with a sustainable framework.
We work equitably and changeably. With us, people count, not gender, origin, or background.
We rely on swarm intelligence and use our network structure to consult and take action in the best possible way.
G for Governance
Our commitments lie with the GLS Bank, supporting sustainable, ethical projects and enterprises.
Our goal is sustainable growth instead of quick profits for pure profit.
To do justice to our strategic work in sustainability and to use the network to share and expand our knowledge.
This is how we work: step by step, independent, and evolving from a startup into a self-financed GmbH - free from investors.
We set clear and ethical guidelines for trust and sustainable relationships.
We for our customers
Although the trend reversal is already noticeable, we are constantly trying to push ahead: Sustainability, circular economy and value creation are central issues in every (customer) project.
Since 2023, participants in our Masterclass have been learning all the essential foundations of sustainable building. More specifically: everything they need to know for marketing and sales. And they’re learning it firsthand, with and from HPP Architects and a specialized team of trainers. The focus? Reflecting, exchanging ideas, and returning to everyday life freshly motivated to put as much of what they’ve learned as possible directly into action.
What are architects expected to know and be capable of these days? The Instagram channel »klimaform« by Wienerberger provides a handy resource, at least when it comes to sustainability. With regular viewing, the posts replace hours of pouring over textbooks, summarizing the latest innovations and trends in sustainable building and architecture.
The first touchpoint in architecture firms remains, alongside the digital presence, the sales team. So, what exactly do sales employees need to know about sustainability, and what should they be prepared for? In our customized sustainability training, we create an annual plan for the sales team and handle everything from initial inquiries to execution to ensure a successful project.
Our (short, medium and) long-term vision
We can say with confidence: What we're doing is pretty good. But, as always, that is not enough for us. We want to make a real difference and are always looking for the right lever for us. That is why this is not a final statement, but a continuous process. But in order to comply with our own recommendation, let's make it as specific as possible:
- We would like to prepare our own sustainability report in order to have gone through all the ups and downs of reporting.
- We want to create our own carbon footprint to make our footprint measurable.
- We want to enter into further collaborations and partnerships in order to get to know as many stakeholders and projects as possible.
- In 3 years, we would like to be able to say that all our projects are sustainable, even if that makes them more expensive.
- And above all, we want to take you along on our journey to inspire you in one way or another.
