Our 5 pillars
To fulfil our annual goals and actions, we have defined 5 pillars:
- Sustainable operations
- Supporting people
- Better materials & design
- Closing the loop
- Knowledge and innovation
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Goal: “Majestic minimizes CO2 emissions, energy consumption and waste streams from both itself and supply chain partners, while also promoting transparency and climate action in the supply chain.”
To reduce the negative impact of our business operations, we are committed to reducing our CO2 emissions, energy consumption and waste streams. We are also taking steps to make our chain more transparent and encourage our suppliers to scrutinize their own operations.
SUPPORTING PEOPLE
Goal: “Majestic contributes to the well-being of employees and society.”
Majestic is very aware of its role as an employer and the responsibility that comes with it. Therefore, we are committed to our employees and society in various ways.
BETTER MATERIALS & DESIGN
Goal: “Majestic provides products and solutions for a more sustainable future.”
The choice in materials and design of our products has a major impact on our environmental impact. Therefore, this is an important aspect of our product development for our own OXXA brand.
We examine which materials we mainly use today and what are more sustainable alternatives. Together with suppliers, we examine where there are opportunities to adapt our designs and products. In this, we strive to use an increasing percentage of environmentally friendly materials in our products.
We also want to offer our customers an increasingly sustainable product range. This is why we have launched an ECO portfolio of gloves with an extra focus on environmental aspects. For each step in the product process, we have made choices to reduce the negative environmental impact.
CLOSING THE LOOP
Goal: “Majestic works from circular principles whenever possible.”
As a manufacturer and importer of several textile products, we take responsibility for the products we market. At Majestic, we strive to work from circular principles and, where possible, to prevent our products from being discarded and incinerated after use.
We do this by working with customers and suppliers to find ways to collect products at the end or extend the life of our products. We also look at how we can adapt our materials and design so that our products can be better reused or recycled.
In this way, we strive to be a partner in every step of the life cycle of our products.
KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION
Goal: “Majestic is the knowledge partner for customers and suppliers in the field of sustainability.”
Majestic is proactive in seeking out the latest developments in sustainability. With our organization-wide sustainability team, we work on several annual goals so that sustainability becomes more and more part of Majestic’s and our partners’ DNA. We have a large local and international network of chain partners, knowledge institutes and Bunzl sister companies, with whom we actively exchange business. We also want to support customers and suppliers in taking steps to make more positive impact throughout our chain.
