Method: The study is based on a qualitative method with a deductive approach, to transparently create an ambiguous empirical basis of the respondents’ perspective. The theory is based on what is considered relevant information for this research. The study’s empirical work is based on four semi-structured interviews with a total of five respondents from three different companies, selected through a goal-oriented selection. The study achieved a reliability through the use of credible sources and databases. All parts are taken in consideration for the preparation of the analysis and the conclusion which are completing this study. Conclusion: It is possible to discern that service companies focus on reducing their environmental footprint by minimizing their business traveling, which means that they have a relatively small environmental impact. The manufacturing company is unlike the other companies in this study, because they are bound to environmental laws and have more established environmental strategies within the company because of its big environmental impact.
