In short
We have switched to electronic invoice distribution!
We prefer to send invoices electronically (e-billing). Together with our customers, we save paper and postage.
Since January 1, 2013, the EU VAT Directive 2010/45/EU on invoicing has been mandatorily introduced in all Member States of the European Union. This directive facilitates the switch to electronic billing. For this reason, we have decided to switch to electronic invoice distribution.
We charge a postal surcharge for sending paper invoices. Part of this surcharge has a sustainable effect: for every paper invoice, we donate EUR 1.00 to regional projects that benefit our environment and in East Westphalia. In the past, we have already supported the important reforestation project "Ein Stück Bielefelder Wald" (A piece of Bielefeld Forest), for example.
