Environmental protection is a core issue at Marc O'Polo, both in the value creation process and in other areas, and is integrated in decision-making processes, making it a component of actual company routine.

A few examples:

• Ecologically sound construction with respect to environmentally friendly, energy saving aspects
• Solar heating and hot water heaters covering nearly 70% of consumption
• Photovoltaic system for generating current
• Automatic light management system
• Use of environmentally friendly means of transport and bundling transports
• Separate disposal of packaging material

For the vehicle pool, Marc O'Polo revised the guidelines for the acquisition of new vehicles, to take effect at the start of the new business year. To achieve ecological and economic objectives, the acquisition of nearly all vehicles is limited to those that use less fuel, limiting CO₂ emissions to less than 120 grams per 100 kilometres.
