Sustainability strategy

We drive sustainably and in an environmentally conscious way.

As a Certified Partner of Sustainable Berlin we have held Advanced Performer status since 2025.

Sustainability strategy

We assign our measures to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Environment

• 

  In our business premises we use LED lighting with demand-based switching.

• 

  Signage improves waste separation and drives the reduction of residual waste.

• 

  By using efficient technology in dishwashers and cisterns we save water and raise our employees’ awareness of the topic.

• 

  Our in-house washing facility is state of the art and recirculates the wash water for the buses.

• 

  By 2025 we will convert our office into an almost paperless office through digitalisation measures. For the print jobs that remain, the target is a reduction of 25 %. We achieve further savings through bulk orders of office supplies, while paying attention to ecologically oriented companies and buying from local retailers where possible. In addition, we have been using 100 % FSC-certified paper since 2022.

• 

  For our buses we rely on new technology, which allows them to be operated more economically. Alongside the in-house washing facility we have our own workshop at our depot, which reduces empty runs to external service providers. The filling station on the opposite side of the street (Hoyer) minimises distances, so that our entire bus fleet is ready for service without additional detours. The central location of the depot in Berlin-Tempelhof reduces the empty runs required to reach customers. We have also established a concept for sustainable mobility management.

• 

  In accordance with statutory requirements, our bus drivers regularly complete driver safety training. We also offer advanced driving training (eco training), which practises fuel-efficient driving.

• 

  Thanks to its central location in Berlin, our operating site is easy to reach by public transport. In future we would like to use company travel passes to encourage our employees to make greater use of local public transport.

Society

• 

  As a bus company we depend on our drivers. Alongside them, our employees are essential to a successful business. For that reason we make every effort to understand and respond to all interests. To this end we hold regular employee meetings and, besides economic topics, address aspects of sustainability such as fuel-efficient driving, waste avoidance and water saving. Employees who identify strongly with the company and are satisfied with their working conditions fall ill less often, resign less frequently and recommend the company to others. Regular team meetings and shared events such as summer parties and Christmas celebrations strengthen cohesion. We also try to find solutions for a better balance between working and private life (offering part-time work and working from home).

• 

  The ground floor of our premises is accessible for people with restricted mobility. Parts of our fleet are already accessible and it is being converted step by step.

• 

  We regularly offer our employees further training opportunities, some of which focus on aspects of sustainability (for example eco driver training). At regular intervals we provide training so that employees are informed about news and updates on specific topics (for example IT, sales, GDPR, first aid).

• 

  As part of a comprehensive stakeholder analysis, our stakeholders were identified by topic, and we maintain an active dialogue with them.

Economy

• 

  VIP-Bus Connection GmbH & Co. KG works with cooperation partners in order to offer our customers an even wider range. To maintain the satisfaction of our cooperation partners, open dealings and continuous exchange with them are very important to us. We are fortunate that our cooperation partners are located in the Berlin region, which saves us long journeys.

• 

  We have established structured complaint and crisis management and have staff trained in all safety topics, who are deployed as required.

GRC

• 

  For us it goes without saying that all obligations regarding occupational safety, health and social protection are met. We have a compliance policy which all employees must observe. New and existing employees confirm their compliance with the policy by signature. In the event of a breach, the incident is reported and suitable solutions are sought. Employees are instructed on updates to the policy and must agree to them in writing.
