To support our team members to adopt long-lasting recycling routines while working remotely, and as a concrete step towards our environmental sustainability commitment, we have implemented a budget based on the 3Rs principles to encourage employees to purchase recycling products.

1️⃣ What is the total budget I can claim

The budget is set at 50 euros (VAT included) per team member, and can be utilised once. This is a pre-approved budget, but you need to notify us about your purchase.

You are free to purchase any items, but please be aware that SettleMint will only cover your expenses up to a maximum of 50 euros.

2️⃣ How can I claim my 3-R budget?

To claim your budget, please fill in this form, and inform the VP of People (@Fabrizia Zanca) about your purchase, to get it approved.

SettleMint will refund you for your expenses. Please follow our standard reimbursement process:

3️⃣ Which items can I purchase?

Here are examples of items that can support you in building your 3R habits when working from home, but you are free to purchase what makes most sense for you:

1. Reduce:
   • 💡Ultra Efficient Light Bulb 2 Pack: Employees can purchase energy-saving light bulbs that consume less electricity, thereby reducing energy consumption and their carbon footprint.
   • 💡 Energy-saving bulbs: 27W LED bulbs that can replace the traditional 200W-250W incandescent halogen bulbs with lower energy consumption and higher durability. You may cut down your bulb consumption bill by up to 89% per year, and be environmentally friendly!
   • 🥵 Smart Thermostatic Radiator Valve: a device designed to control the heating in individual rooms or zones of a building for temperature control.
   • 🌬 Home-Office Fan: instead of using AC, opt for a fan and reduce energy consumption! Pick from either a table fan or a vertical tower fan.
   • **Smart power strips with Consumption Measurement:** switch off all your devices with just one button, and keep track of your energy consumption!
2. Reuse:
   • 💧**BRITA water filter jug 2.4L. Half-year pack (includes 6 filters):** stay hydrated while reducing your use of disposable plastic bottles.
   • ☕️ **Set of 2 Stainless Steel Crema Espresso Reusable Capsules:** for our coffee lovers, stay energized while saving the planet from coffee capsules waste!
3. Recycle:
   • 🚮 **Dual Compartment Trash Can:** waste separation and recycling in your home office. Great to separate plastic and paper and keep your desk clean and neat!

Be 3-R empowered and make environmentally conscious choices and contribute to waste reduction, resource conservation, and a more sustainable future!
