Dripl Case: Cordeel Group
Wondering how a company like Cordeel Group successfully implemented Dripl? In this case you'll discover how they made the switch, how it was received by their team, and what it yielded - from less waste to a boost in happiness.
Meet Cordeel
- Sector: Construction
- Number of employees: 2,000+
- Location(s): Temse (and more)
- Mission: "To become the happiest company to work for and with."
Cordeel, a family-owned company with more than 2,000 employees, aims to become "the happiest company to work for and with." When the company decided to make their workplaces more sustainable and healthy, traditional soft drink dispensers were no longer appropriate. With Dripl, they found a solution that perfectly matched their ambitions.
Challenge: from waste to action
"1.3 billion packages end up in landfills every day. That's gigantic. If we really want to contribute to a better world, we have to dare to think differently," says Simon Maillet, Group Sustainability Officer at Cordeel.
Cordeel wanted:
- Sustainability: drastically reduce packaging and carbon emissions.
- Health: Offer employees healthier choices.
- Engagement: Getting employees excited about this change.
The solution: Dripl Refill Points
In 2023, Cordeel started a pilot: two Dripl Refill Points in their Temse office. Here, employees could fill their own glass or reusable bottles with water or a soft drink of their choice. The approach was carefully guided with:
- Communication materials: Posters, informational emails and stickers at the Refill Points.
- Activating sessions: Mocktail workshops and tastings to make employees curious.
- My Dripl account: Real-time visibility into orders and impact.
"In the beginning there was some resistance; some missed their traditional soft drinks. But now we see that the atmosphere really brightens up with Dripl. A healthy option really gives a boost." - Simon Maillet, Group Sustainability Officer (yes, the one from the photo!)
Impact in numbers
- Packaging avoided: 174,799
- CO₂ emissions saved: 2,133 kg CO₂e
- Favorite flavor: Ginger-lime, effervescent (yummy!)
A look ahead: what will the future bring?
With the positive feedback and measurable impact, Cordeel decided to implement the Refill Points in other locations. For Simon and his team, this is just the beginning:
"With Dripl, we have not only reduced our carbon footprint, but also inspired our employees. This is how you make sustainability really concrete."
