Sustainability at UZIN UTZ
UZIN UTZ wants to be number 1 on the floor. That means we want to maintain or build leading positions in our business areas. To live up to this ambition, we must create added value through our decisions and actions - for our customers, for our employees and for our shareholders.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
We are not only committed to the careful use of the environment and resources in our operations.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
INNOVATIVE AND COMPETITIVE
Our 6 brands offer products of consistently high quality, top technical performance and convince with concentrated know-how for the new installation, renovation and value retention of floor coverings of all kinds. In addition, our products meet high standards of occupational health and safety for installers and healthy living for end users. By combining sustainability and product innovation, we are able to conserve natural resources and further develop the product portfolio across all brands. Our products are therefore also important levers in the implementation of ecological sustainability goals.
PEOPLE
TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT, HEALTH
One of the most important factors in our success is our committed and qualified workforce. As a responsible and reliable employer, we therefore consciously want to provide secure and at the same time attractive jobs on a long-term and sustainable basis. Our emphasis on an appreciative and family-oriented corporate culture as well as on integrity and trust is reflected in our recommendation rate: 85% of our employees would recommend UZIN UTZ as an employer.
PROFIT
SUSTAINABLE AND HEALTHY
Economic sustainability means reconciling economic success and investment with social and environmental responsibility. In order to be and remain competitive in the future, we act with foresight and actively with regard to the challenges of our time, such as climate change, digitalization or globalization. We expect our business partners to act in line with our corporate values, to also act responsibly and to operate sustainably. Over 80% of our most important suppliers have already committed to our Code of Conduct for Sustainable Action and Responsible Business.
PLANET
RESPONSIBLE AND CONTINUOUS
Through a responsible approach to the environment and the efficient use of resources, we aim to make our contribution to environmental and climate protection and continuously improve our ecological footprint across the Group. By 2025, we aim to reduce our direct as well as indirect energy-related greenhouse gas emissions by 25% across the Group. The basis for this is our comprehensive environmental and climate management, which in addition to operational environmental protection also includes our upstream and downstream value chain as well as our regional environment.
