(Fighting climate change) 4
In 2023, we engaged with EcoVadis to improve Dam's environmental
performance for the first time. EcoVadis are the worlds most
trusted provider of buisness sustainability ratings, intelligence, and
collaborative performance tools for gloabl supply chains.
They analysed our performance
and benchmarked us against the
worldwide Furniture Industry on 4
main categories:
Environmental
Labour and Human Rights
Ethics
Sustainable Procurement
We are proud to share that we have completed a thorough evaluation of
our operational sustainability practices with EcoVadis. Our rating places us
in the 96th percentile among all companies rated in the past year, earning
us a gold medal for the first time in 2024! Our top-performing sustainability
assessment themes were Sustainable Procurement and Environment.
We are constantly improving our sustainability practices. Our carbon
footprint data and energy efficiency are analysed and monitored regularly,
and we accurately track initiatives to reduce energy consumption and
run the business efficiently. Our ESOS Phase 3 action plan is underway to
provide us with energy-saving opportunities.
We set all design briefs to maximize the use of recycled content and the
potential for 100% recyclability, as per the principles of ISO/TE 14062:2002.
Dams purchased products are made of material from well-managed, FSC®-
certified forests and other controlled sources.
We select materials with strong environmental credentials that can
be recycled at the end of their life. As an example, one of our fabric
manufacturers, Camira, has introduced a new range of sustainable fabrics
that we are promoting.
