Northflash’s sustainability policy
Northflash wants to actively help to minimize the negative impact of travel and events on people and nature.
We
• want to be the natural contact for destinations, hotels, tour operators, event organisers and other companies seeking competent support for their sustainability work.
• travel in a way that minimizes the impact on the climate and environment.
• always walk short distances, cover slightly longer distances by bike.
• access public transport whenever possible.
• use vehicles that pollute the environment less, such as those powered by biogas, hydrogen engines or electricity, if driving is unavoidable.
• prefer train to plane whenever possible.
• use aircraft only, if the transport is otherwise not possible or only with disproportionately high expenditure.
• choose direct flights and avoid stopovers, in case flying is unavoidable.
• choose airlines whose fleet consumes as little fuel as possible, and use biofuels wherever possible.
• avoid low-cost airlines where the cabin crew have to work without adequate social benefits and/or in poor conditions.
• compensate flights with service providers that take into account all environmental impacts of flying, e.g. atmosfair and myclimate.
• use fossil-free, sustainably produced energy.
• use energy-saving technology.
• switch off unneeded technology and lighting.
• strive to keep our energy consumption as low as possible.
• strive to keep our water consumption as low as possible.
• avoid single-use plastic and paper products whenever possible.
• avoid meat and animal products.
• choose vegan, but at least vegetarian meals.
• prefer wherever possible products that have a sustainability label or environmental certification.
• prefer products that are fairly produced and certified.
• use used and reused products and materials wherever possible.
• donate regularly to people in need.
