From small improvements to major changes
Sustainable choices, lasting impact
With our family company, we look at the long term. What we do today makes a difference for tomorrow. With our motto “More impact with less”, we like to work together on solutions that make a positive difference operationally, financially and for the environment. Whether it is about innovative products, smart software or advanced maintenance concepts and process improvements, we make the sustainable choice.
For us, sustainability is not just about what we do, but also how it is seen and valued. Not only in our own words, but in our daily work and in the recognition we get for it from independent parties. That is confirmation for us that we’re on the right path. Curious about the evidence for this? An overview of the certifications that underline our efforts is given below.
EcoVadis
This global standard for sustainability assesses companies on their environmental and social performance. Our EcoVadis certification confirms that we are a reliable partner in sustainable business operations and constantly strive to make improvements in our processes.
Green Award Incentive Provider
As an Incentive Provider, we support more sustainable transport and production. This means that we actively encourage companies to choose environmentally friendly solutions that not only meet the current requirements, but are also ready for the future.
Smarter Lubrication
Within our lubrication maintenance specialisation, efficient maintenance and smart lubrication make the difference. With our Smarter Lubrication approach, we not only help organisations to significantly extend the lifespan of machines, but also to minimise downtime and reduce maintenance costs. With focused analysis and by applying innovative lubrication technologies, we provide maximum performance and sustainability.
(VGP) and (VIDA)
Several of our biodegradable lubricants are registered for their biodegradability with the EU-Ecolabel and classified as EAL (Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant). They also meet the requirements that apply for the 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) and the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA).
EU ECOLABEL
The EU Ecolabel is the European environmental certification mark for non-food products and services with the goal of stimulating more sustainable production and consumption. The certification mark is recognised by all countries in the European Union. The EU Ecolabel indicates production with a lower environmental impact in terms of resources, energy, water, harmful substances, waste and packaging.
Ships and other vessels in American waters are required by law to use VGP and VIDA compliant lubricants. These lubricants are biodegradable, have minimal toxicity and do not accumulate in organisms present in the water. We also provide various lubrication solutions for this.
Additives: A lot of added value
Sustainability is in our DNA. With our versatile additives, we provide the right balance between consumption and optimal results. With this, we contribute to a safe and healthy climate with as little impact as possible. Aside from the CO₂ impact, there is also the pressure on the aquatic environment and water treatment, which we want to limit as much as possible.
Our Additives team is constantly developing smarter solutions that improve efficiency across the supply chain. By optimizing formulations, we can reduce the amount of transport needed per unit of product, lowering environmental pressure and streamlining the overall process.
