Dutscher, an exceptional ally for your CSR

Why is Dutscher the most environmentally-friendly distributor on the market today?

In the jungle of green-washing, it is tempting to declare that local production is the most important factor in reducing the carbon impact of an item. Yet transport, even overseas or intercontinental, accounts for less than 5% of carbon emissions in the manufacturing and delivery cycle of a product, particularly plastic consumables. The ‘local’ factor is therefore insufficient and simplistic. 95 % of the initiatives to reduce carbon emissions are based on other parameters that Dutscher has identified and on which we are taking action.

  1. Production, products, life cycles:

    • Our main suppliers of consumables have committed considerable resources to reducing their carbon impact: optimised production methods, renewable energies, eco-design, reduced packaging and plastic weight, ECOVADIS certification, responsible purchasing. We audit them regularly.
    • GoGreen products (→ explore the range): Dutscher evaluates each article from each supplier on its ecological performance criteria. An objective rating per article reference can be found on our website www.dutscher.com, where articles in the same category are ranked in descending order of their GoGreen rating.
    • Dutscher takes back a number of consumables for recycling (second life) (empty racks of tips, gloves, PPE, expanded polystyrene boxes, empty serum bottles, etc.). → More about
    • Dutscher gives preference to French and European products. These are identified by a Made in Europe pictogram on www.dutscher.com.
       
  2. Transport

    Our preferred carrier Heppner is committed to an energy transition pact, with a fleet of over 70 % low-emission alternative energy vehicles, biogas trucks (emitting 80 % less CO2) and electric urban HGVs. Heppner has the EVOVADIS Gold label.
