    RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS

    Sustainability is a core focus that drives our approach to meeting present and future global challenges. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact, fostering social responsibility, and upholding strong governance practices, ensuring that our decisions today support the needs of tomorrow.

    Our dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is reflected in our operations, from the materials we use to the opportunities we create for our people.

    ENVIRONMENTAL

    Minimizing our environmental footprint is a top priority, which we achieve by optimizing energy use in our production facilities and continually refining product designs to reduce resource consumption.

    SOCIAL

    We are dedicated to being an equal opportunity employer, gender equality and upholding high standards of training and development for all employees. Our goal is to create a workplace culture of dignity, integrity, and respect, where every team member feels valued and fulfilled.

    GOVERNANCE

    Striving to balance economic growth, resource efficiency, social equity, and financial stability, we regularly audit our manufacturing operations and internal processes to ensure improved practices are integrated throughout our business.

    Guiding Our Sustainable Commitment

    Our sustainability strategy is founded on the key principles of REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE, which guide our actions and support our commitment to sustainable development across all areas of our business.

    REDUCING ENERGY

    We are working to reduce our energy consumption and aim to develop products with a lower environmental impact. Environmental considerations are factored into our products from the early stages of development.

    REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

    We are committed to reducing plastic packaging and recycling plastic waste generated during production. Additionally, we aim to replace as much material as possible with recycled paper, such as replacing all paper insert sheets with 100% recycled paper.

    RECYCLING

    We collect and sort production waste, using compactors for packaging materials. Permanent recycling terminals support our efforts, and we analyze each product's recycling potential.

    Making more responsible choices

    We prioritize alternative materials over traditional plastic and view sustainability as central to our commitment to both customers and the environment.

    Our goal is to convert 80% of our assortment into alternative materials and replace all products with recyclable, recycled, bio-based, or biodegradable materials by 2026. While parts of our products will still include original plastic, we are focused on using recycled and alternative materials alongside traditional plastic.

    Innovative Solutions

    We are specialists in diverse production methods, enabling innovative solutions like using agricultural waste, biodegradable foils, and recycled materials.

    Our commitment to exploring new techniques and materials helps us stay informed about sustainable production methods. We continuously look for ways to minimize our environmental impact while providing practical and responsible solutions.

    Tackling single use packaging

    We have a strong legacy of innovative solutions and are continuously working to optimize product development and internal processes, with the goal of reducing packaging and eliminating single-use plastics by 2027.

    Continuously improving our packaging

    There are both economical and environmental reasons for making our packaging more sustainable:

    • The lifespan of our packaging upon reception is extremely short: customers open and then throw away.
    • A vast majority of purchases are made online, where packaging does not play a promotional role and only serves to protect products until they reach their destination.
    • Less packaging means less waste, reducing consumption of finite natural resources, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
    • We are working toward reducing our carbon footprint and lowering the impact our packaging has on the environment.
    • Sustainable packaging will improve, over time, the ability for our business to continue creating products and services longer.

    What changes are we making?

    In general, we aime to consider alternative materials for our packaging such as biodegradable or compostable materials, recycled or recyclable materials, or renewable resources. 

    • All cardboard packaging are being switched to 100% recycled Kraft.
    • We have stopped the use of coloured ink: all inserts are now printed in black and white on 100% recycled paper.
    • Wherever possible we have stopped the use of single use plastic materials (bags, fillings, etc.) and when not possible are striving to replace them with 100% recycled plastics. Our ultimate goal is 0 plastic packaging!
    • All packaging includes recycling instructions for customers to ensure they end up in the right recycling bin.
    • Some of our packaging are even made to be reusable as a product on their own.
