We take care of everything

 

Sustainability
Our goal

We create spaces to shape the future.

Rooted in craftsmanship and visionary in the digital world, we are active creators of worlds of experience and stores. At the same time, we take responsibility for our actions and their impact so that the future is sustainable.

"Our company has existed for more than 155 years. Sustainable management is therefore part of our history, one could even say an essential element of the DNA of umdasch The Store Makers. We have an obligation to ourselves, our customers and employees, and ultimately to society as a whole, to treat the resources we use with care. In doing so, we want to make our contribution to a better and more liveable future, not least because we are also part of this future."


Silvio W. Kirchmair, CEO umdasch The Store Makers.

 

To the corporate values

Shared responsibility

The effects of climate change are already being felt - both at work and at home. The solutions in the fight against the climate crisis are diverse and require concrete objectives. This is why the Umdasch Group, together with its three divisions umdasch The Store Makers, Doka and umdasch Industrial Solutions, has set itself an ambitious target: NET ZERO by 2040.

 

In 2023, a comprehensive double materiality analysis highlighted the 26 key sustainability issues that are important both for our stakeholders and for the long-term success of the Umdasch Group.

Based on these findings, all material sustainability aspects were analysed in detail in order to fulfil the qualitative and quantitative KPIs in accordance with the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

 

Memberships such as the UN Global Compact additionally emphasise our commitment to a sustainable and responsible future.

Sustainable procurement

At umdasch The Store Makers, we are actively committed to responsible and sustainable procurement; in fact, it is a central component of our corporate strategy. This includes the careful selection of suppliers, the use of recycled materials, the reduction of packaging material and the optimisation of transport routes.

Our supply chain fulfils the highest standards of environmental and social compatibility. To ensure this, we work closely with our suppliers. Regular supplier audits and clear agreements such as the Supplier Code of Conduct also guarantee that sustainability principles are consistently adhered to.

Sustainability strategy

We are not developing our strategy towards a more sustainable future alone, but together with Umdasch Group AG and our sister divisions Doka and umdasch Industrial Solutions. However, our common goals ultimately have an impact in our actions - in our projects, products, services and innovations, in our dealings with our partners and colleagues and in our interaction with our environment.
