Dataflex

Doing Things Right

Sustainable Business, Sustainable Planet


At Dataflex, we’re honest and transparent, following both the letter and spirit of the law, and always try to minimize our environmental impact.

We look to do what’s best by all our stakeholders, are open to criticism and seek out partners who share our core values. Because we want to do things even better tomorrow than we did them today.

In our sustainability report you can learn about all the things we achieved in the previous year and find out about the next steps we plan to take.

Sustainable Business


People & Society

Treating people with respect

We offer our employees an ergonomically healthy workplace, competitive benefits and make them valued members of the Dataflex family. We try to build lasting relationships with stakeholders based on trust.

We challenge discrimination, bribery and corruption, and make sure there’s no child labor, modern slavery or conflict minerals anywhere in our supply chain.

We prioritize a healthy, sustainable business over short-term profit-chasing. So we invest in the future: of our people, portfolio and quality systems. And believe mutually beneficial long-term partnerships lead to greater efficiency and stability, helping create value for everyone our business touches.

Sustainable Planet


100% carbon neutral

Measuring and compensating our total carbon footprint

We use LCA and other methods to calculate our total carbon emissions for all our business operations and products. We then compensate all our emissions for the previous year with the help of our partner Trees for All. This makes us a carbon-neutral business.

While compensating our footprint is important, our primary focus is on finding ways to shrink our footprint even further (e.g. through our Circularity Program). The ultimate goal is to produce no emissions at all, removing the need for compensation altogether.

Together with Trees for All we restored and protected the Kibale National Park

Transparency


Ecosheets: helping you go greener

We put Ecosheets on our website product pages to let you see the environmental impact of that product. Because we want to be transparent and honest. And help you make informed choices and hopefully encourage you to join our Circularity Program.




Environmental Product Declarations

Total transparency

For our most popular products, we’ve also developed EPDs. More detailed than Ecosheets, EPDs are calculated against strict Product Category Rules and checked externally. They show a product’s exact environmental impact and make it easier to compare the impact of different products across our sector. Helpful for tenders, product planning and your own sustainability goals.



Circularity Program

Guaranteeing the big environmental gains

About 95% of the environmental impact of our products comes from mining raw materials and processing used materials.
Help us not to let this impact go to waste and sign up for our Circularity Program.


Completing the circle

Send back all products that you don't need anymore. We are taking our products back to take care of the refurbishment or the correct recycling of the materials. Wherever possible we refurbish our products so they can be used again for a second/third life. When materials are too damaged we take care of proper recycling.

Learn more about how we define Circular Economy and which steps we already took to follow those principles.
