Environment.
We are aware that our business has an impact on the environment and we are committed to reduce this impact by getting insight in emissions (2024) and formulating clear targets for reduction of our CO2 footprint in 2025. We follow the principles of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol en commit to the targets of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
1. Energy
We try to reduce the use of energy as much as possible within our facilities. We have energy efficient lighting, we monitor our use of energy regularly and seek for opportunities to lower our use.
2. Raw material
The material used in our products will be specific and openly defined in our bill of material, so we can show the impact of our assortment. This is an ongoing and developing process. We will map the complete CO2 emission of our purchased raw materials and define targets on how to decrease these.
Besides our products, also the materials used for our packing purposes are important. We search for possibilities to reduce the weight of the packaging (on item level, on inner carton level and on outer carton level). We reuse the standard packing of our suppliers where possible. Our goal is to make the packaging as environmentally friendly as possibleergy as much as possible within our facilities. We have energy efficient lighting, we monitor our use of energy regularly and seek for opportunities to lower our use.
3. Waste
In a time where environmental responsibility is crucial we are committed to sustainable practices. By implementing our waste management policy, for which we are inspired by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and its circular economy principles, we focus on waste reduction measures, responsible disposal methods and clear reporting on our waste management.
4. Transport
We search continuously for opportunities to reduce the use of materials used for transport purposes, or at least make these as environmentally friendly as possible. We reuse the packing materials of our suppliers after the printing of our products.
5. Products and services
At the moment our product line consists of many different products, produced in a large variety of factories and not yet specifically selected based on circularity or sustainability. In the last years however, we do see a growth of products in our assortment that are more sustainable.
In the future we will communicate transparently and specifically on the used materials used to produce our products. Our customers will get the chance to make a sustainable choice.
