Sustainability is playing an increasingly vital role in our society.

From environmental impact and public health to social responsibility and economic benefits — making sustainable choices is essential in a world that is becoming ever more interconnected.

At Duif International, we believe in the power of responsible business. We are actively committed to reducing our ecological footprint and making a positive contribution to both people and the planet.

Our ambition? To help shape a future where beauty and sustainability go hand in hand.

Read on to discover how we are building a more responsible tomorrow.

Duif International values socially responsible production.

That’s why we are a proud member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). In the coming years, we aim to further expand our product range sourced from BSCI-audited suppliers.

The BSCI is a business-driven initiative focused on improving working conditions in global supply chains. It provides companies with a clear framework and practical tools to manage supply chains responsibly and ensure compliance with its Code of Conduct.

This benefits not only businesses, but also the people behind the products.

BSCI primarily monitors the social performance of producers and identifies countries with elevated social risk levels, helping companies make informed sourcing decisions.

Forests are essential to preserving biodiversity and maintaining healthy ecosystems. At Duif, we believe in protecting these vital natural resources. That’s why we’re proud to hold an FSC® certification, and we are committed to expanding our range of FSC®-certified product lines over the coming years.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) is an international organisation that promotes responsible forest management. It sets global standards, certifies forests and timber products, and supports companies seeking to source wood and paper from responsibly managed forests.

FSC® certification allows companies to demonstrate that their products originate from forests that are managed in an environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable way. This is achieved through partnerships, awareness-building, and capacity development programmes.

In addition to ensuring sustainable forestry practices, FSC® also considers the well-being of workers and local communities.

At Duif, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact. Our headquarters is equipped with various sustainable features, including a rooftop fully covered with solar panels and dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. We make use of electric cars wherever possible, charging them with the clean energy we generate ourselves.

By investing in solar energy and EV infrastructure, we actively reduce our carbon emissions and contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon future. These efforts help mitigate the effects of climate change and reflect our ambition to operate in a climate-conscious and responsible way.

In addition to reducing our footprint, solar panels allow us to generate renewable electricity on-site — resulting in significant long-term energy savings and increased energy independence.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global objectives adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Their mission: to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people can enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

At Duif, the SDGs play an important role in shaping our sustainability strategy. As we continue to grow more environmentally and socially aware, we are increasingly seeking products and partnerships that reflect these values.

Integrating the SDGs into our operations also enables us to identify and mitigate environmental and social risks within our supply chains — helping to prevent negative impacts on both people and the planet. Moreover, the SDGs help highlight opportunities to improve our operations, enhance supply chain management, and create efficiencies that drive long-term value.

By working with the SDGs, we proudly contribute to global sustainability efforts and help address some of the world’s most urgent challenges.

As part of our commitment, Duif focuses specifically on the following three goals:

• SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
• SDG 13 – Climate Action
• SDG 15 – Life on Land
