Ask Me Anything - MeisterTask Senior Product Manager

Hi @JanaIngendahl and thank you for bringing up the topic of CSR! It’s really close to my heart, as during the last one and a half years, my colleagues @Anabel Arndt, @Matthias_Lass and me have dedicated 10% of our weekly work time to really try and make a difference at Meister when it comes to being socially responsible.

We have been focussing on four pillars, that we see as the main areas of CSR: Business, People, Society, and Planet and for each of those pillars, we are trying to implement initiatives that actually make a difference.

For example, for the Planet pillar, we have worked together with Planetly/One Trust to find out what Meister’s COs footprint is and how we are comparing to industry benchmarks. We have also partnered up with Glacier, who are focused on providing training for employees, who are engaged in CSR activities in their companies and are providing us with tools on how to promote our initiatives internally. Of course, there is also some small little things that you can do that have a huge impact, e.g. Meister is paying for the yearly public transport ticket for all Lobsters working from Vienna.

When it comes to our customer’s interest in our sustainability efforts, I must say that we have not received a huge amount of those yet. But we believe that as soon as we also start to communicate to all our users more how important the topic is for us, we can also contribute to raising more awareness for the topic in general.

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me via DM any time, I’m super happy to chat! 😊
