Our commitment to sustainability
Yes, we like the term eco-conscious as we continuously adapt the way we work while having the green agenda in mind. This philosophy originates from our founder, Peer Funk, who laid the groundwork for our vision back in 1987. What does this philosophy entail? At that time, Peer recognized the need for a fresh approach to chemicals and cleaning products—one that prioritised responsibility and sustainability. He wanted the development of water-based products long before the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) became mainstream. His forward-thinking ambition set the stage for our commitment to environmentally friendly solutions.
We are actively collaborating with experts like sustainbusiness to be better aware of how we need to work with and implement it in our business. For the moment, we have a series of initiatives installed and many more are on their way! Anyway, since our mission is to help improve our customers’ business, and to strengthen our communication with both suppliers, customers, and employees, our focus is on conducting a materiality assessment to inform our strategy, starting with the identification of our environmental, social, and economic impacts in our value chain. We also have our attention turned towards ESG-related risks and opportunities.
Cutting-Edge Research & Development
So, you may or may not be familiar with our LAB. No worries, we’ll fill you in. At DST HQ, we have our own lab where we have researched and developed our water-based products ever since 1987. Our lab is precious and the place where the magic happens, so we continuously invest in innovative technologies and improve our products on a continuous basis. Our water-based degreasers can be used at low temperatures. In fact, all the way down to 38°C – without foaming and still maintaining the highest level of cleanliness. In addition to that, our degreasers also demulsify oil from water allowing for easy removal and significantly increasing bath lifetime. What does this mean for you? Well, you can save money, resources, time, reduce CO2 emissions, and more.

We are prioritising the green agenda
Every day, sustainability takes up more space, regardless of the industry you are in. We are collaborating with an advisory firm on a materiality assessment, followed by strategy development.
