As home improvement specialist, Fetim Group has been supporting customers and end users in their construction projects for more than 100 years.
We are dedicated to make a positive contribute to the people, the environment and to our society. Only then we are able to create a positive impact on sustainability, now and in the coming future.
Our Pillars
Fetim sees every project as an opportunity to do better. This requires a clear sustainability strategy. Our sustainability strategy is defined in 3 pillars, as shown here.
Sustainable products (Duurzame producten)
We make our assortment more sustainable every day. The products we provide are made with respect for people and the environment. Our products consist of sustainable and safe materials. We want them to be long lasting and easily recyclable.
Clean and circular operations (Schone en circulaire bedrijfsvoering)
By 2030, we want our operations to be climate neutral. We want to reduce emissions in our transport by 25% in the next 7 years. We are working on waste reduction by using less packaging material. And where packaging is necessary, we choose recyclable materials.
Healthy & happy people (gezonde en gelukkige mensen)
Everyone has the right to a healthy and safe workplace. Not only within Fetim, but in our added values worldwide. Fetim is actively committed to this by paying attention to mental well-being, a healthy work-life balance and modern working conditions. Human and labor rights are therefore part of our procurement policy. Moreover, we have launched a Speak Up platform, where stakeholders can file a report when ethical dilemmas and issues arise.
Fetim Group: your partner in sustainability
A sustainable assortment creates more sustainable choices. This is why we are launching 2 product labels that contribute to a more responsible future: Fetim Green and Fetim Lifetime.
Fetim Green: Durable and safe material as a basis
Products with the Fetim Green label are made with sustainable materials, have a responsible origin and are not harmful to the health of consumers or employees in the chain.
- Materials from recycled or renewable resources
- Materials produced in a responsible and sustainable way
- Materials that are free of chemicals with a negative impact on the environment or health
Fetim Lifetime: Durable during and after use
Products with the Fetim Lifetime label are sustainable to use, last longer, and can be easily recycled.
