Practioning anthropologists

That is what we call ourselves, because ECOHouse is established by an anthropologist, and we all work with the anthropological methods - it is simply completely basic to us. What exactly does this mean? The subject of social anthropology deals with man as part of a society and a culture and as an active participant in society and culture.

Therefore, the starting point for our work is not a finished theory of how a specific company looks and behaves and how we make it do something else. As anthropologists, we work with a deep and grounded respect for the people and companies we meet. They have developed their organization with their daily lives and culture, which they are largely happy with and have made work. Our job is not to make them look like everyone else.

On the contrary, our task is together with the company and with respect for and knowledge of this particular company's organization and culture to help the company develop a quality management system, ensure that they comply with various legal requirements, translate the Danish Working Environment Authority's requirements into something that makes sense in everyday life, etc. .

That is why we probably also differ from many other advisers and consultants. We do not show up with a standard model that has to be narrowly fitted to any company - regardless of whether it means that a heel or a toe has to be cut to make the company inside the model. And we do not believe that one can solve the challenges or problems of the company by just using the same method that we used yesterday.

On the other hand, of course, we do not arrive to a business without a suitcase of tools and knowledge. But we do not open it until we have listened and gotten a clear picture of the company's culture and organization. It is our experience that too many consulting projects end up with a mediocre result, because it has not been ensured that various standard solutions now also give results and meaning in the individual company.

And for us, results and meaning are absolutely crucial.

Subscription

Most of our customers have a subscription scheme with us. This means that we are responsible for updating documentation, reporting to authorities among other things. A subscription scheme means that the company, for example, has a quality manager 24 hours a day without paying for more than the time we actually spend. And you do not even have to remember to call us - we keep an eye on all deadlines and make sure things are done.

Tailor-made solutions

We can help, regardless of your size and financial framework

Project assignments

Over the years, we have also solved many different project-based tasks outside our subscription scheme - and we are always ready to help you with your specific problem. This can be anything from instructions from the Danish Working Environment Authority, contact with authorities, (type) approvals and certifications, import and customs rules or product approval.

Listen to our customers

We have previously been met by suppliers who have stated that they have all relevant documentation and approvals on their products, but when we have subsequently presented documentation to food agencies, they have not been able to live up to the requirements set in the individual countries. This has created major problems and additional costs for us and our customers. That is why today we have been associated with Ecohouse 100% within all our products and productions to make sure that all documentation is in place before we import goods from the Far East. This has meant that when the danish food agency visits us or our customers, we always have control of our documentation. We also use EcoHouse to give lectures to our customers and have, among other things, brought them to Joe & The Juice where they have told about the environment and sustainability, as well as certifications .

At MENU A/S, we have - for a decade - used ECOHouse as an active sparring partner in relation to our internal product development - including transnational legal compliance and product approval, sustainability with a focus on life cycle-oriented initiatives and development of strategies and objectives, and environmental aspects in general. In 2020, MENU A/S, in collaboration with ECOHouse, was ISO 14001 certified and the certification will be maintained in our continuous collaboration with ECOHouse. ECOHouse also actively helps us in our contact with authorities, test laboratories, factories and subcontractors worldwide.

Kluntz Promotion became acquainted with ECOHouse in 2012 through their membership of DPA - Danish Promotion Association. At Kluntz Promotion, the focus is on meeting and retaining satisfied customers by focusing on high-quality products. It was therefore a natural move that our company in 2016 was certified in accordance with the international standards for environment and quality, ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 14001: 2015. ECOHouse has together with Kluntz Promotion developed and implemented the ISO systems for the company, and ECOHouse continues to act as internal auditor and advisor to the company.

PlusCoat is a leading total supplier within industrial surface treatment and Denmark’s only provider of E-coating: Optimal rust protection in exceptionally high quality. Since 2008, PlusCoat has collaborated with ECOHouse to continuously improve the company's working environment. In 2015, we had come so far that the company could get a work environment certificate, and all three departments are now certified and have a "crown smiley". ECOHouse is currently working as the company's internal auditor, advisor within legislation, working environment and external environment.

We have been collaborating with Ecohouse of Denmark since March 2017 and together reached new levels for product safety
The good cooperation has led to the ISO certification 9001 and 14001
in 2019 and renewal in 2020. Elements Production has also obtained registration with the Norwegian Medicines Agency
and Ecohouse has thus contributed to us receiving deliveries to the Norwegian healthcare system.

Elements Production believes that Ecohouse with its enormous expertise has given us a competitive advantage over other suppliers in the Norwegian market. The work on product safety also gives us confidence that the end customers will receive good and safe goods.
