  • 1BOX believes in socially responsible business conduct. We are working in various areas on our impact on people and the environment. This also means that we take a transparent approach and make sustainable choices wherever possible. We do this, among other ways, by:

  • The heating in our branches will only cut in when the temperature falls below 8 degrees Celsius

  • Old lights are to be replaced with LED lights in all our branches

  • Old, used buildings are recycled and converted into clean storage locations for business and personal storage

  • Operating completely CO2 neutral

We contribute

In order maximise our impact, we are collaborating with partners who share our goals. In collaboration with the sustainable online-marketing bureau Ecoteers in 2022 we have made a start with the first tree-planting project in the Netherlands.

We will be working together to plant trees in the Netherlands: small-scale and locally. In areas where there is space for more greenery we look for the best way to plant it. Working with individuals and organisations, we select the right types of tree for the land.

Our goal? To fix as much CO2 as possible out of the air and to increase biodiversity. By working together with local residents we are not only creating more awareness about climate change, but we are also ensuring that the trees end up in the right places.

In order to make our impact visible, we link our storage units to nature. For every m2 of storage space we change one m2 in nature by planting trees and bushes there. This way, we make sure that every square metre counts at 1BOX.
