Our sustainability ambition

At Belysse, our sense of responsibility for the planet is rooted in our reverence for it. The waters of the River Lys that gave our company its name. The air we breathe. The earth under our feet that is ours to protect.

We are working towards a bold ambition: to honour our planet's generosity in every way we can. That starts with taking responsibility for our own contribution to the environmental challenges we face — recognising that the process of production takes a toll on the environment, and committing ourselves, through deliberate, measurable action, to reducing that impact over time.

As part of this journey, our carbon reduction targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). By aligning with SBTi, we commit to reducing emissions across our operations and supply chain, ensuring that, like the ever-flowing River Lys, we continue to move forward with purpose and responsibility.

Carbon reduction

Our carbon reduction targets are approved by SBTi, and relate to reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 CO2 emissions by 2030.

Recycled materials

Where possible, we prioritize materials with recycled content and continuously identify opportunities to reduce our use of virgin raw materials and enhance material efficiency.

Water conservation

Water is a valuable resource in the carpet industry, as it plays an essential role in processes such as dyeing and printing. We continuously explore more efficient ways to use and reuse the water required in our processes. At the same time, we carefully manage our wastewater streams and closely monitor our treatment processes.

Locally produced

Our carpets are manufactured in Europe (modulyss and ITC) and the US (Bentley), allowing us to serve key markets from nearby production facilities. Producing closer to our customers shortens the transport distances involved in distributing our finished products, which reduces related transport emissions.

Circularity as standard

We're designing more of our carpets with circularity in mind — choosing recycled and renewable materials where possible, while working to close the loop at end of life. It's a growing focus in our product development, and one we're committed to expanding further.

Designed for life

Longevity is at the heart of how we design. Our soft flooring retains its beauty for years to come, keeping homes and workplaces cozy and quiet.
