We take responsibility for our environment.
Environmental Statement Sustainability and Social report
To present this responsibility in a detailed way, we have compiled a sustainability report that highlights what we do to act in a sustainable, responsible and entrepreneurial way.
To the Environmental StatementWe pledge to do business sustainably
We confirm our sustainable and responsible approach to business with independent certifications from various management systems. Since 2003, we have successfully introduced an environmental management system based on the specifications in the international standard DIN EN ISO 14001 and we expanded this in 2010 to encompass the stricter Regulation (EC) No. 1221/2009 (EMAS). This reflects our commitment not only towards complying with all environmental laws and regulations but also towards systematically improving the company's environmental record on an ongoing basis.
With the EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme), companies and organisations can demonstrate that they take responsibility for their actions in accordance with the requirements of DIN ISO 14001 and beyond.

We are reducing our carbon footprint
Everyone has a carbon footprint
As a business, we generate emissions when we manufacture and produce products. To reduce this footprint, we follow the steps of Avoid, Reduce and Compensate, with the first two steps already forming part of the Dauphin Green Cycle.
What does climate-neutral mean?
Climate neutrality based on the definition by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) means that human activities have zero net impact on the climate system and any remaining emissions are offset by corresponding reductions in emissions.
Our goal to reduce CO2 emissions
We will have reduced direct emissions at our headquarter in Offenhausen from 1,949 tons (of CO2 in the reference year 2012) to 600 tons of CO2 in 2027. A reduction of 70%.
-70%
CO2 Reduction Goal by 2027
CO2 compensation
To compensate for the emissions that are generated during the production of the Indeed automatic, we work with the climate protection agency natureOffice and compensate for the proportion of unavoidable CO2 emissions by investing in the integrated climate protection project "Project Togo".
More about Project TogoWe campaign for clean oceans
Every year, 12 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in our oceans. The Seaqual Initiative has set itself the goal of actively campaigning to clean up the oceans.
We are the first office furniture manufacturer in Germany to have joined the global organisation. All the waste that is collected is then processed to produce the high-tech SEAQUAL® YARN.
