How Deli Home works on a sustainable future
LEARN MORE ABOUT
Our sustainable future
In 2023, Deli Home made intensive efforts to achieve the ESG objectives for 2025. Collaboration, continuous learning and improvement are central. To achieve our objectives, it is essential that we are aware of our social impact within our entire chain - from suppliers, to production, to our customers - and act accordingly.
How Deli Home works on a sustainable future
Our annual ESG report 2023 offers a complete statistical insight into our achievements in 2023 when it comes to CO2 reduction, using and selling FSC and PEFC wood, and our safety performance.
Our ESG objectives for 2025 (compared to 2020)
- Reduce our CO2 footprint by 15%
- 100% acquisition and sale of sustainable wood with FSC® or PEFC certification
- 10% reduction in packaging materials for transport within the supply chain
- 10% reduction in waste (based on weight)
- Focus on well-being of employees, with the aim of reducing absenteeism to below 3%
- 0 accidents that result in absenteeism
ESG report 2023
At Deli Home we see ESG as an ongoing challenge, with ever-changing goals and a continued focus on reducing our ecological footprint. We have the ambition to fulfill a pioneering role and stimulate positive change in society.
In this report you will therefore not only read about our efforts in 2023, but also about our ambitions for the coming years. We would like to take you on Deli Home’s ongoing journey towards the most socially responsible way of doing business.
Together we build a sustainable future, in which we continue to adapt to new challenges and strive for improvement. Our commitment to sustainability is not just a goal, but an ongoing journey towards a better world.
Local working groups
Our local ESG working groups are helping us to further specify our ESG objectives. A CSR working group has been set up for each domestic and international division, and is responsible for identifying further improvements at local level. An important area of focus for these working groups involves reducing, sorting and re-using packaging materials and waste flows. However, they must also pay attention to more efficient and sustainable local energy consumption.
Outlook after 2025
Besides further reducing our CO2 footprint, our main challenge for the future will be to involve and engage our whole organisation in our ESG policy. In fact, the ideas of our employees will be extremely valuable if we want to meet our ESG objectives for 2025 and beyond.
A good example of this comes from our office in Gorinchem. In this case, we have been able to save 15,000 separating strips each year by taking them from the packaging materials of our suppliers and reusing them for our own consignments. By combing large and small initiatives, we will be able to gradually become more effective in complying with the Glasgow Climate Pact, which requires a CO2 reduction of 55% by 2030.
