Sustainability

Sustainability is not just a word for us — it is a firm part of our lives.

We deliver quality

We make products with a long service life and emphasise durability, functionality and stable quality.

Our people — our success

We adhere to a policy of equal rights and obligations. We create dignified and safe working conditions.

Respect for nature

We implement zero-waste production methods and processes that minimise waste and increase production efficiency.

Supporting our community

We cooperate on the development of regions in the economic, cultural, social and sporting spheres.

We see sustainability as a long-term commitment to be better in everything we do. That is why we have set ourselves voluntary goals that we systematically integrate into our decisions. These goals represent concrete steps towards an overall improvement of our environmental and social responsibility. The goals are set for a year-on-year comparison 2025/2030.

Our sustainability goals

  1. Increase in circular materials used

    We will increase the share of circular materials used from 35 % to 40 %.

  1. Reduction of CO2

    We will reduce CO2 emissions by 10 kt. By purchasing zero-emission energy (in a volume of 50 %) we will reduce our carbon footprint and thus prevent the generation of CO2 emissions.

  1. Subsurface water savings

    We will reduce subsurface water consumption by 28 %. Thanks to the construction of a retention basin, we will be able to use 20,000 m3 of rainwater and thus reduce the abstraction of subsurface water.

Products for a better life

Waterproofing membrane

Waterproofing membranes for green roofs. Planted roof areas absorb and evaporate large amounts of rainwater back into the atmosphere and thereby contribute significantly to cooling buildings, humidifying the air and reducing dust.

Insulation membranes for cool-roof systems — the white finish of the upper layer of the membrane reflects more sunlight, which helps reduce roof temperature and excessive heating of buildings. Such roofs reduce the need for indoor air conditioning, which reduces energy consumption.

Our membranes also positively serve to retain water in the landscape — ponds, lakes, biotopes and reservoirs help to mitigate drought and improve the microclimate.

Floor coverings

The lower layer of floor coverings contains up to 80 % regranulates created by reprocessing internal technological residues, which contributes to closing the material cycle of these products.

BO PET films

The properties of BO PET films and laminates allow these packaging materials to be used in demanding applications, for example in the food industry to extend the shelf life of food, which contributes to saving food resources.

Special products

Warning films for protecting cabling contain up to 95 % regranulate, which contributes to saving virgin material.

Memberships and certifications

Bureau Veritas

We have long paid fundamental attention to environmental protection. We have a certified quality management system in accordance with ČSN EN ISO 9001:2016 and an environmental management system in accordance with ČSN EN ISO 14001:2016.

VinylPlus

We are a member of the VinylPlus association. We thus commit to long-term efforts in the field of sustainable development in the PVC industry. The main goal is to support the circular economy and more efficient use of resources.

EPD

We have an Environmental Product Declaration prepared, which is an independently verified and registered document declaring the environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycle.

EcoVadis

In the area of sustainability and corporate social responsibility we have been awarded the EcoVadis medal. This internationally recognised assessment confirms our responsible approach to environmental protection, working conditions, ethics and the supply chain.

Responsible Care

We follow the principles of the Responsible Care programme; as a member of the Czech Chemical Industry Association we commit to managing our activities so as to ensure a high level of sustainable development by proactively increasing the safety of operating equipment, the transport of products and the protection of human health and the environment. Thanks to long-term fulfilment of these criteria we have received the prestigious „Sustainable Development Award“.
