We take responsibility globally and locally
At DAN DRYER, we fundamentally aim to take responsibility for the way our business impacts society – both locally and internationally. Our work is grounded in full compliance with all laws and regulations, with a particular focus on three main areas: our climate impact, society, and workplace environment.
Our ecological footprint
DAN DRYER actively works to protect the environment and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 6, 8, and 12, which reflect our values.
We minimize our environmental impact through proper waste sorting, eco-friendly production processes, low energy consumption, and membership in ELRETUR. As a Danish company, we comply with the Environmental Protection Act and encourage our suppliers and employees to act in accordance with our environmental policy.
We contribute to UN's world goal #6 when we support and sponsor Randers Rainforest. We help acquire, preserve and restore forests and ecosystems. We do this to ensure the biodiversity as well as the quality and sustainability of water resources. This is crucial in order to ensure clean water, which is the source of all life on earth.
We contribute to UN's world goal #8 when we place clear demands on suppliers and distributors. We do not tolerate economic growth achieved at the expense of e.g. child labour, underpayment or poor working conditions. Worldwide, we secure jobs in administration, production and sales.
We contribute to UN's World Goal #12 when we ensure minimum 95% of DAN DRYER's products are recycled. All returned, defective DAN DRYER products are dismantled and sorted for recycling. To reduce our environmental impact and to minimise waste we strive at producing high-quality products of long lifespan. The expected lifespan can often be extended further with spare parts, just as refillable soap and disinfection dispensers are a sustainable solution.
Community
At DAN DRYER, we aim to make a positive impact on the local community we are part of. We support, among others, the local Superliga club Randers FC, Helsted Fremad I.F., Randers Regnskov, and the cultural institution Værket.
We also work closely with local authorities and actively participate in the Jobspot program, offering internships to vulnerable citizens to help them return to the workforce. Interns become part of our daily operations and gain the opportunity to experience a meaningful and developmental work environment.
In 2017, DAN DRYER received a CSR recognition for our social commitment and responsibility.
As a member of the Red Cross Business Club, DAN DRYER also contributes to humanitarian initiatives – both locally and internationally – with a focus on creating safety, care, and hope for people in need.
