OUR

STRATEGY FOR

SUSTAINABILITY

Towards a sustainable future

Sustainability is all about balance. In our use of resources. In our greenhouse gas emissions. In the way we manufacture. And in the way we handle our waste.
DFI-Geisler constantly strives to optimise all of the above parameters – to minimise the footprint that is an inevitable consequence of worktop manufacture.
Of course, we could always choose the easy solution and launch a “green collection”, with worktops fashioned from recyclable materials. However, we choose to tread a different path. With the broadest possible focus, we endeavour to optimise our key products and the associated processes to benefit the climate and the environment. And, besides use of resources and constituent materials, we consider the useful life of the products, in the belief that: Longer useful life => lower consumption => smaller footprint.
We call this balanced sustainability. It’s as simple as that.
‘Over the past few years, we’ve made an effort to make sustainability an integral part of our business strategy. This enables us to make a positive contribution to the CO2 balance and to become even more sustainable than we are today.’

Our ambitions and goals for sustainable development

Sustainability is an integral part of our business model. As Scandinavia’s leading worktop manufacturer, we are large enough and influential enough to have a unique opportunity to lead the way and nudge the market, our customers and our suppliers in a more sustainable direction. We see sustainability in a broad context and incorporate it into everything we do. Large and small.

We focus on three core values:

WE TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

  • Circular design
  • Reduction of CO2 emissions
  • Reduction of water consumption
  • Sustainable forestry

Circular design

The aim is to reduce waste products and constantly attempt to identify circular solutions.
All laminate and solid wood products are already integral parts of circular production.
