Sustainable development / CSR policy
Welcome to the sustainable universe of IDEALDERM!
At IDEALDERM, we believe in harmony between beauty and environmental responsibility. Our passion for beauty goes hand in hand with our commitment to preserving our precious environment.
Every aspect of our manufacturing process is infused with ecological consciousness, demonstrating our firm resolution to make a difference. Here is how we commit to protecting the planet by ensuring a minimal footprint on the environment while offering you exceptionally high-quality products:
Animal Protection:
We do not perform any tests on animals, preferring tests on human volunteers in accordance with regulations, generally in Germany, while ensuring that our products are completely vegan by avoiding ingredients of animal origin.
Environmentally Friendly Printing:
We fully offset the carbon emissions generated by the printing of our labels, ensuring that every product you purchase is not only beautiful but as eco-friendly as possible.
Local Manufacturing:
Unlike the majority of our competitors who import from Asia (and were blocked during the Covid period), at IDEALDERM, we favor local partners for the manufacturing of our products, thus reducing our carbon footprint by limiting transport distances. Some examples of elements used in our products:
- Jars: < 50 Km*
- Flyers, instruction manuals, and catalogs: < 100 Km*
- Labels (for bottles, pots, airless containers, etc.): < 200 Km*
- Cardboard boxes (for packaging containers): < 200 Km*
Sustainable Mobility:
Our company vehicle fleet has been at the forefront of sustainability for over two years, being 100% electric, thus contributing to the reduction of thermal emissions and harmful microparticles in our environment.
Clean Energy:
Our premises are heated exclusively with electricity and benefit from enhanced insulation to reduce our energy consumption.
Solar Energy:
Our commitment to solar energy doesn't stop there. The filling and sealing of our tubes are done 100% with solar energy, demonstrating our commitment to environmentally friendly renewable energies.
Responsible Printing:
All our flyers, instruction manuals, and catalogs are printed by local manufacturers (less than 100 km from our company), thus reducing transport distances and associated CO2 emissions. In addition, all our productions are carbon offset, ensuring a minimal ecological footprint.
Ecological Buildings:
The company's green space area is significantly larger than the building area and consists of at least one tree per square meter; mowing is done by electric robots. Advantages: air quality (by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen during photosynthesis), rainwater management, urban biodiversity, ...
Innovative Reuse:
Our barrels are lined with plastic bags for reuse without compromising on quality or hygiene, thus reducing waste while maintaining strict safety standards.
Responsible Samples:
We have reduced the size of our samples while maintaining the same amount of product, thus reducing our use of plastic without sacrificing our customers' experience.
Optimal Packaging:
We choose optimally sized shipping boxes with a minimum of adhesive tape to reduce paper waste and minimize the environmental impact of transport.
Sustainability: Every step counts for an ideal world.
Every action counts, which is why we are committed to reducing our ecological footprint at every stage of our production process.
Our goal is to improve energy efficiency (ratio of energy consumption to production volume) by 3 percent annually.
We are constantly listening to our customers and partners, ready to welcome any ideas for improvement to continue raising our environmental standards.
Join us in our mission for a greener, more beautiful future, together.
*Km: The kilometers we mention are measured by road, because the distance as the crow flies would certainly be significantly less, but that would be considered cheating :)
