bol. and sustainability

bol. strives to improve every day: from packing and delivering as economically as possible to using 100 percent wind and solar energy in all its buildings. With its sustainable assortment, bol. wants to help customers make the right choice and reduce CO2 emissions per parcel as much as possible. From 2023, bol. will be allowed to call itself a B Corp: this certification shows that bol. is on the right path to a more sustainable and socially responsible business.

Reducing the production and use of goods is a challenge for society as a whole, which bol., as one of the largest platforms in the Netherlands and Belgium, also feels responsible to address. That is why bol. helps customers make informed choices when they shop. For example, over 300,000 of bol.'s items have a special label: the globe. Items with a globe possess significant sustainability advantages compared to similar items. They all carry one or more quality marks coordinated with 'Milieu Centraal'. Think of items made of at least 50% recycled materials, items with a Fairtrade label, or appliances that use less energy than their counterparts. bol. has also stopped selling disposable plastic such as plastic cutlery, cups, straws, and cotton buds since the beginning of 2020. The same applies to splash plastic, such as water balloons.
