JD GROUP SUSTAINABILITY
At JD Group, we are committed to extending the life of our products by giving them a second life. By joining forces with like-minded partners, we are working on the move towards a circular carbon neutral economy.
CSR - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
When dealing with non-European companies and factories, you have to pay close attention to CSR. JD GROUP cannot guarantee or be responsible in detail for the daily operations of its factories and productions.
However, to meet the challenge, JD GROUP does not market any CPL, HPL or COMPACT laminate from any manufacturer, whose production and company has not been personally inspected and approved by Jan Danielsen and/or his team in India
I.e. JD GROUP does not use any factories or production of CPL, HPL or COMPACT laminates, who does not cover all of the 11 demands below.
If necessary, a separate CSR agreement can be signed between JD Global Sourcing and the customer in advance of a collaboration in order to document compliance and documentation of social and sustainable standards.
