As a family business, we attach great importance to sustainability, excellent working conditions and social responsibility. We like to invest in warm relationships with our employees, customers and suppliers. In our view, long-term relationships are key in making an impact on social issues.
Sustainability within our organization
- In our warehouses, reusing materials such as cardboard, metal, and plastic has been standard practice for decades.
- More than 2.000 solar panels are installed on the roofs of our warehouses, generating over 500.000 kWh of electricity annually. This not only makes our operations CO2-neutral, but we also feed surplus green energy back into the grid.
- LED lighting in our warehouse contributes to an annual energy saving of over 50.000 kWh.
Sustainability of our products
- We keep spare parts in stock for many of our products. Repairing is better than throwing away.
- Single-use plastic packaging (such as bags and blister cards) is increasingly being replaced by more sustainable alternatives, such as tissue paper or paper wrapping.
- We are making growing efforts to use recycled materials in our products. For example, all of our sleeping bags are already filled with 100% recycled filling. If recycled materials are used in a product, this is clearly indicated on the product page.
- We are affiliated with organisations such as Stichting OPEN, which is responsible for the collection of batteries and electronic waste, and UPV Textiles (Extended Producer Responsibility), which promotes the reuse and recycling of textiles.
Excellent working conditions
Schreuders Sport is a member of the Foreign Trade Association (FTA) and Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). Affiliated organisations place high priority on ensuring responsible working conditions. In addition to Schreuders Sport's own efforts, the FTA and BSCI ensure for the continuous improvement of working conditions with their independent inspections, training programmes and informational services.
Product safety
Safe, high-quality products have been the driving force of our company for a hundred years. We only sell products that have been extensively tested according to strict standards and guidelines. Reliable testing bodies such as Intertek, SGS and TUV inspect our productions for aspects including sharp edges, parts that can be swallowed or harmful substances.
