„We believe that what is good for us should not be bad for others!“
This principle has been a part of OTTO for many decades. We are fully convinced that people and the environment must be at the forefront to act sustainably. It is becoming increasingly clear in many areas of society that this idea of fairness is gaining widespread acceptance. Join us in this development!
WE ACT. Together for Sustainability
Our goal is to effectively and efficiently reduce the negative impacts on people and nature along the value chain. To achieve this, we have developed a Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy that applies to OTTO and all group companies of the otto group, providing the framework for action with specific objectives.
Our OTTO strategic fields of action and goals
We all care about our world: climate change, plastic pollution, poor working conditions—these are issues that are of great concern to us. As OTTO, we embrace our responsibility as an e-commerce company in the following six strategic fields of action:
Additional Sustainable Projects & Initiatives
Wild Plastic
With the start-up Wildplastic, we produce shipping bags made from plastic collected from nature. The collected plastic waste is cleaned and processed into granules.
Paludi Biomass
We are testing this material for our boxes. Paludi biomass is made, among other things, from wet meadow grasses harvested in re-wetted peatlands without peat loss.
"Platz schaffen mit Herz"
With "Platz schaffen mit Herz", clothing finds new owners. Products that cannot be worn again are recycled. The proceeds from the donated clothing go to a non-profit organization.
Cotton made in Africa
Cotton made in Africa's goal is to help people help themselves and support smallholder farmers in learning sustainable farming methods to improve their living conditions.
