Bojan Stojić, Managing Director at Hygiene Pro Team d.o.o.

Be Part of the Solution, Not the Pollution!

It was nine months ago that company Hygiene Pro Team became part of the Europapier group, resulting in the merging of the two businesses, expanding the list of suppliers, increasing the volume of operations and territorial coverage, and setting new, large and ambitious goals

Thanks to its respect for the demands of each of its numerous clients, this company records growth of its operations year on year, and the year ahead, according to the company’s MD, will represent a turning point for this company in the domain of sustainable operations.

Hygiene Pro Team became part of Europapier a year ago. Could it be said that you have thus strengthened your position as a leader of the Serbian market? What kinds of benefits has this merger brought to your clients?

— The success of our companies is measured in terms of the number of satisfied clients. Our two companies were brought together by the way we do business and by having made the same investments in the future. The local experience brought by the Hygiene Pro Team, in combination with international strength, will strengthen the hygiene sector and bring clients greater benefits. The shared goal that we want to reach is to turn to sustainable development and realise plans at the level of the entire group. Over the course of these nine months together, we’ve merged the two businesses, expanded the list of suppliers and increased the volume of operations and territorial coverage. With 17 commercial officers, and with logistics centres in Novi Sad, Kraljevo, Niš and Raška, we are now the most geographically represented player on the ground.

In following five of the SDGs, you launched a campaign to introduce sustainable operations and the circular economy. Could you tell us more about that and about your conference “Be part of the solution, not the pollution”?

— This conference was organised in order for us to exchange with our partners ideas, experiences and best practices in achieving sustainable development and the SDGs. The emphasis is on environmental protection, which includes measures to protect natural resources, reduce CO2 emissions, preserve biodiversity, encourage sustainable consumption and production, as well as other activities that contribute to ensuring the long-term prosperity of the planet.

The shared goal that we want to reach is to turn to sustainable development and realise plans at the level of the entire group.

The conference was held in Kopaonik National Park and our host was Gorski Hotel & Spa, which – as an eco-partner – contributes to the preservation of this natural beauty together with us. We considered this environment as being able to serve as inspiration to participants in the conference and as a reminder that we should take care of planet Earth.

Could you share with our readers at least part of your plans for 2024?

— Thanks to our respect for the demands of each of our numerous clients, our company records operational growth year on year, and the year ahead will represent a turning point for us in the domain of sustainable operations. We are starting the year by launching our B2B portal, which will increase our visibility even more and bring us even closer to our clients and customers. We’ve planned numerous employee education courses, because we want to learn how to improve our quality of service and logistics, how to increase awareness, and about the goals that we should monitor and strive towards (SDGs). We also want to improve our communication with non-governmental organisations on the topic of ecology and the circular economy.

Participating in the ‘business run’ at all four locations in Serbia represents our “sporting goal”, and we also won’t overlook the need to green and reforest Serbia. We are also preparing our project “How children can save the Earth” and want to be recognised through that as a company that contributes at the local level and is also part of the global action to achieve the UN’s goals.
