At Desso we are aware of the environmental impact of climate
change and the overuse of scarce resources. We know the difference
that can be made by interaction with our neighbours and society as
a whole and we will concentrate our efforts in these areas. However
we cannot succeed alone; our sustainable goals must encompass our
workforce, our suppliers, our neighbours, our customers, and indeed
our direct stakeholders.
For Desso, the radical decision to move beyond 'mere'
sustainability in producing its carpets and artificial grass has
resulted in a partnership agreement with the Hamburg-based
Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency (EPEA), Cradle to
Cradle® is a giant step forward, from Eco Efficiency to
Eco Effectiveness.

Our focus:
- Social responsibilities
We want our business to have a positive effect on those we deal with - not least our customers, our workforce and our suppliers. We aim to build a reputation as an honest and ethical trading partner, great employer and responsible neighbour by fulfilling the Global Sullivan Principles and striving for a SA 8000 certification in 2012. - Climate
We will continually strive to reduce to use 100% renewable energy for our operations. - Sustainability with substance
We will ensure that our products have as beneficial an impact as possible throughout their whole life. We will source sustainable raw materials, use energy efficient processes, develop long-life and low maintenance products, and we will recycle, reclaim and re-use products at the end of their initial life.
