A minimal impact on the environment
To limit our impact on the environment, we actively invest in renewable and alternative energy sources, sustainable materials, improved production and clever waste management. Nothing more. Nothing less.

SDG 6
We not only invest in improving the quality of our wastewater, but also aim to reduce our water usage (-30% by 2030). On top of this, we contribute by collecting rainwater, which neighbouring farms can use during droughts.
SDG 12
By recycling and reusing materials wherever we can, we aim to to reduce our production waste by 2030. This has already resulted in a recyclable carpet tile backing and we are working on a broadloom version as well. And we get creative with waste as well: some of our cutting waste ends up in product backings and our polypropylene yarn waste is turned into granules we can reuse.
SDG 7
As our production requires a considerable amount of energy, we continuously work at optimising our processes. By purchasing green energy and by producing our own, through the solar panels at our production sites. Our production site in Zele has already received an ISO 50001 certification, which we hope to get to our other Belgian sites.
As a VisionZero company, we take care to take care. Of everyone. From employees and suppliers to customers. And that means: healthy and safe working conditions, and respect for all involved.
SDG 3
We strive for zero accidents among our own staff and expect the same from our stakeholders. We do everything to ensure consumer safety through recognised certifications and labels. Our products contain low volumes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and we aim for zero harmful chemicals.
SDG 5
We take equal opportunities to heart, aiming to employ at least 40% of women in our top management by 2030.
SDG 8
We pride ourselves on working with employees from all over the world and make sure everyone is treated equally, fairly and with respect.
SDG 16
Integrity in the way we achieve results means a lot to us. And that implies ethical business practices, which comply with the most rigorous regulations and recommendations. Our policies, training and awareness-generating activities including advice and instructions on ethical, lawful and mindful behaviour regarding cyber security and data protection, antitrust and measures to fight fraud, corruption and bribery.
