Setting higher standards
Ropetex un Powertex darbības runā skaļāk nekā vārdi. Mēs koncentrējamies uz atbildīgu iepirkumu un atkritumu samazināšanu kā daļu no mūsu plašākajiem centieniem samazināt ietekmi uz vidi. Mūsu r-PET materiālu izmantošana ir viens piemērs tam, kā mēs izpētām alternatīvas ar mazāku ietekmi. Mēs cenšamies integrēt ilgtspējību visā mūsu produktu klāstā. Mēs ievērojam strukturētu pieeju, lai uzturētu mūsu uzvedības kodeksu, tostarp regulāras vietnes auditus un piegādātāju apmācības. Šīs iniciatīvas atbalsta mūsu mērķi veicināt atbildīgāku un uz nākotni vērstu celšanas nozari.

Committed to improve
Fact-based communication
We believe in communicating sustainability based on facts, not greenwashing. All our more sustainable products come with sustainability fact sheets that clearly outline their environmental benefits and improvements. Here's the sustainability factsheet for our PRS r-PET Round Slings as an example.
Dedicated sustainability audits
Our commitment to sustainability is reinforced by our dedicated sustainability auditing team. We conduct thorough audits of our production partners, focusing on the sustainability of the production process. This includes document assessments, extensive audits at production locations, and conversations with employees and management. Our auditors also evaluate working conditions, including wages, workplace safety, breaks, facilities, and working hours.
Improving performance through training & education
Our local teams provide valuable advice to production partners on sustainability and good working conditions. This collaborative approach leads to verifiable results, with 93% of producers showing improved performance after follow-up audits.
Working together for a lower CO2 footprint
Our ultimate goal is to market only circular products. We continuously collaborate with innovative producers to support SDG 12: ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. By working together, we aim to reduce our CO2 footprint and promote a more sustainable future.
