Significant Energy Savings: Enough to Power a Home for 3.5 Years

At Collectia, we strive to operate a green workplace and contribute to a sustainable future. Through a series of initiatives, we have reduced our environmental impact in recent years. With our latest effort, we have achieved a 27% energy saving, equivalent to 18,004 kWh in just five months compared to the same period last year. This was partly achieved by installing new light sources with motion sensors. By implementing this solution, we have managed to significantly reduce energy consumption while creating a more efficient and environmentally friendly work environment.

But we don’t stop here. We have taken more steps to promote a greener workplace and drive a sustainable business model.

Reduction in Paper Usage: A Step Towards a Digital Future

Collectia has recognized the historically high paper consumption in the debt collection industry and has therefore taken steps to reduce paper-related activities. This has been done by introducing digital processes, electronic document management, and encouraging conscious paper use.

Did you know that an energy saving of 18,004 kWh is equivalent to:

Sustainable Energy for our Buildings and Cars

Another effort is our investment in solar energy at the headquarters in Brøndby. The solar panel system generates sustainable energy for all buildings and contributes to an annual reduction equivalent to 12.8 tons of CO2.

We have also made it easy for our employees and guests to choose environmentally friendly transportation options. Charging stations for electric vehicles have been established in the parking lot of the headquarters. This solution promotes the transition from conventional vehicles with combustion engines to electric vehicles in the company’s car fleet in the parking lot.

Utilization of Food Waste and Trash: Creating a Circular Economy

Collectia has focused on waste sorting as part of its efforts to create a circular economy. With modular waste systems in all departments, we ensure that all employees actively participate in waste sorting, contributing to recycling and resource optimization.

In our cafeteria, we have implemented an innovative approach where we actively use leftovers from previous meals to create new and tasty dishes. A special tradition we have introduced is a weekly vegetarian dish and a “leftover day” every Friday, where we serve a delicious meal based on the week’s leftovers. If there is any food remaining, employees are welcome to take it home. This not only reduces waste but also promotes an awareness of the value of fully utilizing food resources.

Employee Involvement: Collective Engagement in a Greener Business

Employee involvement is crucial for Collectia’s green journey, as we recognize that our employees are our most important resource. To ensure their engagement, we have established a digital suggestion box where all employees can contribute their ideas for green initiatives. It’s important that everyone in our organization feels they are working in a progressive company with deeply rooted green values and that their work actively contributes to our common goals.

An inspiring example of employee-driven innovation is our energy-saving project, which was actually initiated based on a suggestion from an employee. Collectia is proud to have a workplace that not only has skilled employees but also passionate ones, working towards our shared vision of a more sustainable future.

We Aim to Lead the Industry

Acting responsibly towards our customers, their customers, our employees, the environment, and society at large is deeply ingrained in our organizational culture. We aim to be a driving force for change and a positive role model for other companies wanting to take steps towards a sustainable and green future. In our view, this approach adds both human and business value.
