Sustainability as such is understood within the company as a strategic process of managing the entire company, which includes building relationships with partners with an emphasis on responsible behaviour in the company and environment in which it operates and which it also influences.

The company strives for the following in packaging specification and selection of packaging materials:

Products and packaging are also designed with consideration for subsequent recycling in markets where products are placed on the market. The optimization itself with regard to resource utilization has a positive impact on the environmental footprint of the given packaged product. However, resource utilization optimization must not be and is not carried out at the expense of related social aspects (e.g., consumer convenience, etc.).

The company has an internal control system in place for evaluating product safety, including assessment of distribution risks, to ensure product safety throughout the entire distribution chain (manufacturer – consumer).

Assessment of distribution risks before placing a product on the market includes:

The company ensures review of environmental aspects of existing and new products. The aim is to reduce the environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle.

In cases where the company introduces new measures aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of a product during its lifecycle (e.g., instructions for consumers to use specific minimum dosage, etc.), the company also conducts an assessment that the product is still capable of delivering an acceptable level of cleaning/maintenance performance to the consumer and that as a result of these new measures, there will be a net reduction in environmental impact during the product lifecycle (other factors being equal), thus preventing burden shifting.

The company is committed to repeatedly ensuring the high quality of its products, primarily through the implementation of such control measures that further ensure that products and services are safe for customers. The company further supplements this requirement with safety assessments of individual components and parts of its products and addresses the safety of both the products themselves and the manner of their use, packaging, and other related aspects.

Pre-market safety assessment includes both the assessment of product safety in terms of foreseeable misuse and accidents and intended use, as well as the appropriate classification of products, their labelling and packaging in accordance with customer requirements and simultaneously in accordance with other relevant legal, transport, and other regulations.
