We are a socially responsible company. Environmental protection is our priority and an integral part of our corporate culture.  We pay due attention to environmental protection and we are committed to reducing emissions, optimizing energy consumption, and minimizing our carbon footprint. We believe that only a responsible approach and appropriately applied Silver EcoVadismeasures can protect our planet for future generations.

DEZA was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal for its sustainability activities in 2023. The EcoVadis assessment is based on verifiable international CSR standards such as the Global Compact principles, International Labour Organization conventions, Global Reporting Initiative standards and ISO 26000. EcoVadis analyses 21 sustainability criteria in four main areas.

More than 100,000 companies worldwide have been assessed so far, and DEZA outperformed 80% of all assessed companies in terms of sustainability. The silver medal ranks us in the top 25%. The EcoVadis rating confirms our commitment to sustainable development.

We care about our environment and are keenly aware of any potential impact chemical products may have on our ecosystem. To demonstrate our commitment to maintaining clean environment we continually make investments in green technologies in our manufacturing plants.  Our objective is to reduce all emissions of potentially harmful elements originating from the production,  storage of raw materials, and final products.

Harmful emissions are reduced by installing improved seals on all production equipment. The elementary gases that are primarily the source of undesirable odors are regularly collected and thoroughly incinerated in local thermal treatment plants. In compliance with the policy for the maximum protection of the environment  and for the health of our employees we take great care of the native flora both on site and in the immediate vicinity of the plant. In compliance with the European legislation of REACH we consider and evaluate the toxicological properties of our products and their impact on our ecosystem. The effects on the environment resulting from our economic activities  are annually reported in the Report on State and Development of the Environment.

As part of the sustainability process for 2030, we have developed a decarbonization vision for our company. Our ultimate goal is to be fully compliant with the European Green Deal commitment to make the EU carbon-neutral by 2050.  To this date DEZA a.s. has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 38.8% since 1990.

 

Our employees and our values form the foundation of our company. Because of those key elements we are constantly evolving and participating in the betterment of our environment.
