| Dutch Embassy in Slovakia is the greenest of all |
| Bratislava, 19.02.2019 |
|
| The embassy has gone zero-waste. Its employees use no plastic bags and use reusable lunch boxes.
Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bratislava has beaten more than 100 other Dutch embassies in the world and has become the greenest embassy the country has. It was awarded for its approach to waste and its reduction.
“One of the mistakes Dutchmen make is that they like telling others what to do,” said Dutch Ambassador to Slovakia Henk Cor van der Kwast, who received the award during a ceremony at The Hague in early February . “With this award we have proved that we actually do what we preach.”
Focus on zero-waste
The very first measures to fight waste were adopted during the reconstruction of the embassy building in 2017.
“When dealing with construction waste and selecting construction material, we examined all the possibilities and sought those with the lowest carbon footprint,” said Jana Šťastná, economic attaché for the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bratislava. “As a result, we spent extra time and money to protect nature and prove that the effort pays off.”
