Respect for people, integrity in business and consideration for the environment. Our commitments shape the way we develop our products and work with our partners.
Plastoria SA holds an EcoVadis Silver medal — a recognition awarded to the top 15% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the 12 months prior to the medal issue date. Valid through August 2027.
We work together with our factory by using better environmental processes, reducing energy usage and avoiding waste.
90% of our yearly electricity consumption comes from our solar panels. A water recovery system has also been installed in our building.
A complete relighting and engineering of our building — LED lighting, shades to reduce heat, insulation — significantly reduced our energy consumption.
We favor as much as possible sea shipment over air shipment, with a stated goal of 93% of our imports shipped by sea.
Long-lasting products carry a much better CO₂ footprint over their lifecycle. We use FSC paper only, and are moving packaging from plastic and metal to 100% recyclable wood & paper.
Plastoria is committed to conducting its business affairs in a socially responsible and ethical manner, consistent with all applicable national and local legal requirements, customs and published industry standards pertaining to employment and manufacturing.
We also believe that we at Plastoria, as a corporation, are playing a central role — as all businesses do — in improving the economic, environmental and social conditions of the world. We hereby take the following commitment to our business, to try to improve the world we live in.
The value of a business to society is the wealth and employment it creates, and the marketable products and services it provides to consumers at a reasonable price commensurate with quality. In order to create such value, a business must maintain its own economic health and viability.
While accepting the legitimacy of trade secrets, Plastoria recognizes that sincerity, candor, truthfulness, the keeping of promises and transparency contribute not only to our own credibility and stability, but also to the smoothness and efficiency of our business.
In order to avoid trade frictions and to promote free trade, equal conditions for competition and fair and equitable treatment for all participants, Plastoria respects international and domestic rules. In addition, Plastoria recognizes that some behavior, although legal, may still have adverse consequences, and takes the commitment to avoid getting involved in such behavior.
Plastoria does its uttermost to protect and, where possible, improve the environment, promote sustainable development and prevent the wasteful use of natural resources.
Plastoria does not participate in or condone bribery, money laundering or other corrupt practices. Indeed, Plastoria seeks cooperation with others in order to eliminate those practices.
At Plastoria, we are willing to treat all customers with dignity, irrespective of whether they purchase our products and services directly from us, or from any of our distributors or their clients.
At Plastoria, we believe in the dignity of every employee and in taking employee interests seriously.
Our relationship with suppliers and subcontractors must be based on mutual respect. We therefore have a responsibility to seek fairness and truthfulness in all our activities, including pricing, licensing and rights to sell.
At Plastoria, we believe that fair economic competition is one of the basic requirements for increasing the wealth of nations, and ultimately for making possible the right distribution of goods and services. We therefore have a responsibility to promote competitive behavior that is socially and environmentally beneficial, and demonstrates mutual respect among competitors.
Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibilities can and should govern every aspect of our business life. We recognize that the rewards, both for Plastoria and for society at large, are important.
Our commitments, targets and charter in full.
