Interzero Advisory Spółka z o. o. joins the associated members of the Chamber of Electronic Economy!
The development of the Polish digital economy plays one of the most important roles in shaping the future of the country. We are on a timeline in the era of globalization and the fastest technological progress to date – the ability to innovate and use modern digital tools is becoming the foundation of competitiveness not only in the domestic but also international arena. The digital economy contributes to GDP growth and creates new jobs, supports the development of startups and promotes efficiency and sustainable development in various sectors. In Poland, where traditional industries still play an important role, the development of the digital economy is particularly important to meet the challenges of the future. Looking further into the future, our challenges will be to reduce dependence on raw materials and to become more resilient to global economic shocks.
What does the Chamber of Electronic Economy do?
The Chamber of Electronic Economy works for companies related to the electronic economy sector in Poland, with particular emphasis on those that belong to the e-Chamber. Its main goal is to support the development of the Polish digital industry through cooperation, knowledge sharing, legislative initiatives and effective representation of the interests of its members in contacts with Polish government institutions, the European Union and non-governmental organizations on the national and international arena.
Common goals, missions and views – why did Interzero become a member of the Chamber of Electronic Economy?
Interzero has been making it easier to manage companies, businesses and environmental initiatives for decades. We are an industry leader – supporting sustainable development by combining environmental protection with business needs – and these are constantly changing. There is no denying that the law in the field of ecology is also a field that is developing rapidly – our experts are on site to help understand and implement all official documents and new government directives without major problems. Our mission is to provide comprehensive and integrated environmental solutions in the field of new technologies and more. We do not take the easy way out – our choices when it comes to the world of e-commerce are supported by numerous studies. We take into account both the branches of marketing, economics, ecology and logistics.
Sustainable development: environmental protection and business
Sustainable development is already an essential element of modern business. Today, small, large and medium-sized companies face the challenge of reconciling environmental protection with the rapidly changing needs of the consumer market. At Interzero, we understand that caring for the ecosphere is no longer just a legal obligation – it is putting the reputation of the entire brand, the bond between employees, and the profitability of the business at stake. Implementing innovative ecological solutions allows not only to minimize the negative impact on the environment, but also to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs. Recycling, outsourcing, waste management and much more – it all happens in the digital world!
We will definitely take advantage of the benefits that will be available to us through membership in the e-Chamber. We can’t wait for the latest industry news, knowledge exchange with other institutions and the challenges that will face us in the coming years! Networking has never been as powerful as it is today – together we will create reliable e-commerce that meets social and business needs.

Interzero stationary training – a lot of substantive and practical knowledge in a nutshell!
What does an Environmental Protection Inspection Inspection involve and how to prepare for it?
The first Interzero stationary training entitled ” Environmental Protection Inspection Control in an Enterprise” is now behind us! The training participants met with our expert Łukasz Pachucki on August 8 at the Interzero branch in Łódź. In a small group of people, they acquired a wide range of topics related to the control of the Environmental Protection Inspection in a company. The open form of the training and the Q&A session allowed them to get to know in depth the specifics of such an inspection, in terms of the operation of their enterprises.
What impressions did the Interzero in-person training leave behind?
“I am very happy that we managed to organize the first stationary training using the potential of our Łódź office. We were able to improve the competences of entrepreneurs in the area of dealing with WIOŚ inspections, which is not an easy task. Participants had the opportunity to learn live and in a very intimate group in detail how such an inspection looks like and what to pay special attention to. In addition, the Q&A session after the meeting and the possibility of sending questions to the instructor by e-mail gave the participants a huge dose of knowledge. Łukasz Pachucki played an incredible role in the success of the training, who, as befits a top-class expert with many years of experience, led the meeting in a perfectly practical and accessible way.” – said Anita Janiec , Head of the Environmental Consulting Team at Interzero.
“The training was valuable and interesting. The whole thing was planned at the right pace – it didn’t take too long but enough to thoroughly discuss all the important issues. The practical examples were valuable and helped to better understand the issues discussed. This made the training not only interesting but also helpful. I recommend it to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge in this area. ” – said training participant Wiktor G, Project Manager at Decathlon.
“Yesterday I had the pleasure of conducting the previously announced training “Control of environmental protection inspections in an enterprise”. I am glad that despite the date falling during the holiday period, we managed to gather a group of listeners interested in the subject, for which I am very grateful. For those of you who would like to participate in our training, but for various reasons it was not possible, I have information that it is not excluded that there will be a possibility of participating in a similar event in the future .” – said the training instructor , Łukasz Pachucki.

Circular solutions are climate solutions - Interzero and its customers are once again postponing Ecological Debt Day
Circular solutions are climate solutions - Interzero and its customers are once again postponing Ecological Debt Day
This year, by August 1, humanity will have used as much from nature as the planet can renew in a whole year – according to calculations by the Global Footprint Network (GFN) for 2024. However, without Interzero’s recycling and innovative circular activities, this day would have been reached even earlier. Together with our customers and our broad portfolio of circular solutions, Interzero has once again managed to delay the global Ecological Debt Day by more than seven minutes. Once again, this is concrete evidence of the positive impact our company’s service portfolio has on the planet. “We want to work with our customers to make a real impact,” says Interzero CEO and owner Dr. Axel Schweitzer.
“With our vision of a world without waste – where available resources are used sustainably and responsibly – we are constantly looking for new ways to push Earth’s Overshoot Day further and further away. Our efforts are yielding tangible successes.”

Carbon footprint measurement during the qualification for the Floorball World Championship with ESD from Interzero
Reducing the environmental impact of the World Floorball Championship Qualifiers (WFCQ)
Introduction: In recent years, the global conversation on sustainability has intensified, prompting organizations around the world to assess their impact on the environment. Leading the way, our team undertook a comprehensive environmental impact assessment of the Men’s Floorball World Championship Qualifiers (WFCQ). Using Interzero’s Environmental Sustainability Dashboard (ESD), we embarked on a journey to assess and reduce the carbon footprint of this major sporting event. Context: The Men’s Floorball World Championship Qualifiers (WFCQ) took place in Škofja Loka, Slovenia, from January 31 to February 4, 2024. It involved 5 teams from Slovenia, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and Denmark, as well as representatives from the International Floorball Federation (IFF). A total of 216 people, including players and staff, 2,453 visitors, 33 volunteers, and local labor, took part in the tournament.
Challenge: Carbon Footprint of WFCQ Venue
The challenge was clear: how could we ensure that the men’s WFCQ, while still being an exciting display of athleticism and sportsmanship, would also be in line with our commitment to sustainability? Considering the many dimensions involved, including venue operations, transport logistics, communication activities, exhibition preparation, accommodation and catering, the task was daunting. However, armed with a dedicated team and our Environmental Sustainability Dashboard, we rose to the challenge. The WFCQ was held at the Poden Arena, located in Škofja Loka (Slovenia) for the entire duration of the event.
For the purpose of calculating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a facility, the following impact categories were considered:
- Stationary fuel combustion.
- Overall electricity consumption.
- Heat/cold consumption in the network.
- Water consumption.
- Waste disposal.
Solution: Our methodology was rooted in the principles of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ensuring that every aspect of the event was meticulously examined for its environmental impact. From quantifying greenhouse gas emissions to assessing waste generation and transportation. Using the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard, we were able to collect and analyze data from a variety of sources, in line with internationally recognized standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Results: The results of our analysis were both informative and useful. With a total carbon footprint of 108.1 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, we gained valuable insight into where our efforts could make the most difference. Transportation emerged as the most impactful dimension, accounting for 52% of the event’s carbon footprint, primarily due to air travel. Accommodation and catering followed, each contributing significantly to the overall emissions. Armed with this knowledge, however, we didn’t stop at just assessing. Instead, we proposed targeted strategies to reduce the environmental impact. From promoting sustainable travel options for attendees to optimizing venue energy use and minimizing waste generation, every mitigation measure was guided by our commitment to sustainability. By the end of the Men’s WFCQ, we had not only achieved our goal of quantifying the event’s environmental impact, we had also demonstrated our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Through collaborative efforts and innovative solutions, we transformed the sporting event into a beacon of environmental responsibility, setting a new standard for future championships around the world. In summary, the success of our sustainability initiative for the men’s WFCQ is a testament to the power of data-driven decision-making and collective action. Looking to the future, we remain committed to further sustainability efforts, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the thrill of sport without compromising the health of our planet.
What is the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard?
The Environmental Sustainability Dashboard (ESD) is Interzero’s solution to help clients integrate sustainability into their business strategy. ESD consists of several steps, starting from context analysis and ending with the creation of a Sustainability Action Plan. A key element among these steps is the ESD tool, a web-based platform designed to help companies calculate the different environmental, social and governance impacts related to their core business and/or products. The impact assessment takes into account different dimensions, such as emissions, energy, materials, water and waste. A wide range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be calculated, such as greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprint. For each dimension, specific data is required to calculate the appropriate set of results. Both input and output data are selected and generated based on commonly used standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative, and literature. The output information can be used not only for communication purposes, but also for technical assessment and can be integrated by the company into its sustainability report. ESD is suitable for companies of all sizes, whether they offer services or products.

Take part in the training "Control of environmental protection inspection in the enterprise"
Take part in the training "Control of environmental protection inspection in the enterprise"
Every company that uses the environment, even to a small extent, should be prepared for a WIOŚ inspection. If you want to go through the entire inspection procedure without any problems, take part in the stationary Interzero training “Environmental Protection Inspection Control in an Enterprise”, which will take place on August 8 in Łódź.
Training agenda for WIOŚ inspection in the company
The aim of the training is to introduce environmental protection regulations that relate to the area of WIOŚ control in the enterprise.
During the training you will learn:
- the objectives of the establishment and the organizational structure of the Environmental Protection Inspectorate
- a catalogue of entities that may be inspected by the Inspectorate,
- types of inspections carried out by WIOŚ,
- the course of control in the enterprise step by step,
- control tasks of the Inspection,
- the most important aspects of control in the light of the provisions of the Entrepreneurs’ Law Act,
- powers of WIOŚ inspectors during inspections,
- rights and obligations of the controlled entity,
- types of control summary and post-control activities.
The training will be led by: Łukasz Pachucki , Senior Environmental Protection Specialist at Interzero and Interzero Academy Lecturer. Date: August 8, 2024 (Thursday), 10:00-13:00 Location: Interzero Advisory Sp. z o. o., Łódź, ul. Wólczańska 178, building A
Why is it worth signing up for WIOŚ inspection training?
The use of the environment in businesses is much more common than you might think. If your company:
- introduces gases and dust into the air (e.g. from company cars, boiler rooms or generated during technological processes),
- emits greenhouse gases,
- stores waste,
it can be inspected by WIOŚ at any time in a planned or unplanned mode. You will not be informed about an unplanned inspection, so you will not have time to prepare yourself properly! Training in environmental protection inspection will allow you to gain practical knowledge, thanks to which you will prepare your company to receive WIOŚ inspectors and make it easier for yourself to go through the inspection procedure . After completing the training, you will receive an electronic certificate, a set of training materials and 2 weeks of access to online consultations with the instructor.
Who should take part in WIOŚ inspection training in the company?
Training on WIOŚ control in an enterprise is addressed to persons responsible for environmental protection issues, including:
- business owners,
- full-time environmental protection specialists,
- external consultants providing services related to environmental protection.
The recommended level of knowledge for all participants is intermediate or advanced. Limited number of places!

Interzero as a partner of the Bicycle May campaign
Photo Bicycle May
Interzero as a partner of the Bicycle May campaign: We support sustainable mobility!
In 2024, Interzero proudly announced its next commitment as a partner of the Rowerowy Maj campaign. This initiative, which is the largest campaign in Poland promoting sustainable mobility among preschool children, primary school students, teachers, parents and guardians, perfectly aligns with our company’s goals.
What is Bicycle May? Bicycle May is a campaign that encourages the use of bicycles as a means of transport to school. Through fun and gamification elements, the campaign teaches children and young people good habits that stay with them after the campaign ends. Thanks to this, the number of cars transporting students is decreasing, and the areas around schools are becoming safer and more friendly to cyclists. By supporting the Bicycle May campaign, we want to:
- Educate the public about sustainable mobility.
- Motivate children and young people to actively commute to schools and kindergartens.
- Together, create a safe and cyclist-friendly environment around educational institutions.
At the end of the Bicycle May campaign, a picnic was held, during which prizes were awarded to the most active participants. Interzero also organized eco spa and candle-making workshops. We also provided our EcoPacks to the most active facilities, supporting ecological attitudes. The Bicycle May campaign is not only fun and stickers in bicycle diaries.
These are real actions that contribute to changing habits and improving the quality of life in our cities.
The next edition is less than a year away. Get on a bike, encourage your children and students to commute actively, and together we will change our cities for the better!
