Over 20 years ago, it was thought that the paperless office (or close to it) would be a reality by 2020. Ironically, since then print volume has actually increased, as people now print emails, web pages, contracts, reports, etc. Additionally, the paper used for packaging and postage as well as the increasing demand for printer ink demonstrates how prevalent paper usage is in daily activity. Production, transportation, and recycling also take a significant toll on the environment and we tend to overlook the details. It is every business’ responsibility- big or small- to make sure they are doing their best to preserve the world’s resources by aiming to limit their paper usage and thus reducing their carbon footprint, water and electricity consumption. This is how we protect our home. How do you?

In Denmark alone, each year 700,000 tons of perfectly good food that could have been eaten is thrown away. The food waste costs Danish consumers more than 11 billion DKK a year.
So how does Penneo try and make the numbers a little better? Glad you asked.
Each day we order our lunch and snacks from a small local restaurant and we try and order the exact amount we need as a team. The food is always fresh and organic, so even if there are any leftovers, Penneo provides multi-use tupperware so that the food can be brought home and make a delicious dinner. The tupperware is then brought back on the next day so it can be used again.
We are against the use of plastic cups for water, tea, and coffee, so... we just don’t keep any around. It’s that easy and we’re perfectly fine with using glasses.
Supporting local restaurants and getting fresh and organic food every day is important here at Penneo. Not only because smaller restaurants tend to have a smaller carbon footprint, but also because we eliminate the costs of transportation as the restaurant that we order food from is downstairs. What is more, we can get a better idea of where the food is coming from and how it is made.
To ensure we never have too much or too little food, we order on daily basis. Working with local restaurants facilitates this process as they tend to be more flexible about changing everyday orders and making sure that the food is enough for everyone.

We are invested not only in the overall health of our employees but also in their future. We believe that keeping our employees and their families healthy and ensuring their coverage in the case of injuries is the right way to go. Extra vacation days, birthdays off, family matters, and sick days are all included to help Penneos stay in good physical and mental health.
Supporting local restaurants is not the only local business we turn to. Penneo has a corporate membership subscription with a local gym, just 5 minutes away from the office. Penneo is fighting the notion of a “sedentary job” and is thus offering an unlimited gym pass to all of its employees.
The benefits of supporting small local gyms are endless. Not only do you know all the staff on day 3, but they also know you and your preferences. Thus it is easier to get help with machines, get quality recommendations, or get a discounted protein shake.
Penneo believes that healthy and motivated employees are a priority and helps them stick to their new year’s resolutions.
Security, compliance and identity verification is where Penneo can provide the biggest value. Those properties are now a vital component to the transaction ecosystems of financial accounting, HR, property management and many many more companies. Making sure that your company’s data and the sensitive information about your employees is kept safe is of the utmost importance and Penneo is here to help.
