The Environmental Award from the fintech company InExchange in Skövde is an annual award given to recognize good efforts for the environment and for a more sustainable society. The prize has existed since 2014 and now the 2021 winner has not only been crowned but also courted with a diploma and flowers.
This year's ceremony was held at Vendevägen in Danderyd. Hantverksdata has its office there. The award was received by Fredrik Silfwerplatz, CEO, and Caroline Gentzel, Marketing Manager, and presented by Leo Agetoft, responsible for the partner side of the sales department at InExchange.
- It feels great to get this appreciation for our environmental work. The environmental perspective is hugely important. It is not only an external requirement but also an internal one. We want to be at the forefront. Protecting the environment is something that characterizes a modern and fresh company. We want to contribute to this," says Fredrik Silfwerplatz.
Hantverksdata develops and sells administrative software for the craft industry. Their ERP system includes the ability to send electronic invoices via InExchange. The company has had great success in getting its customers to use this convenient solution. Last year, Hantverksdata's customers sent more than half a million e-invoices through InExchange.
Understand what a gigantic mountain of paper that would have been.
Many trees have been saved and fewer transports have been avoided.
The partnership between Hantverksdata and InExchange dates back to 2010. With great methodology and great perseverance, Hantverksdata has demonstrated the benefits of sending electronic invoices and gradually got its customers to adopt an invoicing method with many positive effects. We and Hantverksdata share the same values. In all the years we have worked together, environmental work has always been an important element. It is a common view that unites us and has been very important for our long-term partnership. The determination Hantverksdata possesses regarding the environment makes them a well-deserved recipient of our award, says Anders Jonsson, CEO of InExchange.
Here is the motivation for Hantverksdata receiving our environmental award for 2021:
"Hantverksdata has the strength to comply with a comprehensive environmental policy. This work includes the goal of reducing paper consumption. For more than a decade, Hantverksdata has gotten customer after customer to send e-invoices, which has meant a growing digital volume and important deeds for the environment. The InExchange Environmental Award for 2021 goes to Hantverksdata as proof that a sustainable partnership also promotes a sustainable society."
