Sustainability

At SODEMANN Udstillingssystemer A/S, we believe that quality and responsibility go hand in hand, which is reflected in our efforts to reduce the negative impact our products and production processes have on the environment and our surroundings.

We continuously strive to deliver products of the highest quality and provide a personalized customer experience, while actively engaging in the green transition and supporting sustainable initiatives.

Sustainability report

We proudly present our first sustainability report.

This report marks an important milestone, and we are committed to continuing the implementation of sustainable initiatives to ensure both quality in our solutions and a sustainable responsibility in our operations.

Recyclability

Building on our flexible products, we create solutions that not only meet your current needs but can also be adapted and reused in the future. We believe our products are so good and attractive that they deserve to be used again and again. We call this principle 'buy and keep,' which simply means that we hope you will allow a SODEMANN product to have a long life, where only your imagination limits its recyclability.We are always ready to assist you if you need help with scaling, new prints, or anything else.

Scaling

We offer customized solutions that can be adjusted to your unique requirements. Our solutions can be tailored and scaled as needed. Below is the stand we created in collaboration with our client, Green Hydrogen.

Interchangeable prints

Update your messages using our flexible roll-ups, lightboxes, and similar products.

Easily and quickly change the print so you can always present fresh and relevant messages without the need to invest in an entirely new solution.

Simply send your old system to us, and we will handle printing and mounting your new print – you only need to pay for your new print.

Portable design

Our products are designed with a focus on flexibility and portability as core values. We strive to make it convenient for our customers to participate in trade shows, which is why many of our products can be assembled by you – without professional assistance.

We understand that exhibition solutions need to travel the world, so we offer smart bags that make it easy to transport our products. This way, no matter where you are on the go, you can easily take our solutions with you.

Dialogue with our suppliers

We recognize our responsibility in the green transition, which extends throughout our entire value chain. Therefore, we work with effective and responsible supplier management that builds on the trust and dialogue we have established with our many suppliers.

For us, it is important to engage with suppliers who ensure the least negative impact on society and the environment, and we strive to collaborate with suppliers who share our sustainable ambitions. In 2024, we will implement a new supplier collaboration program, where we will define clear standards and expectations for our European suppliers. From 2025, we will roll out these requirements to include the 20 largest suppliers globally.

Supplier requirements

01

Non-negotiable requirements

We expect suppliers and deliveries to comply with applicable laws and regulations, key conventions, and national labor laws at the production site, as well as adhere to the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

02

Non-negotiable requirements

We do not tolerate corruption, money laundering, or bribery among our suppliers. We expect our suppliers to comply with applicable accounting laws and accounting standards in the country of production.

03

Sustainable ambitions

We expect our suppliers to share SODEMANN Udstillingssystemer A/S's ambition to continuously work on sustainability. We also recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for all companies, but the ambitions must be credible in relation to the supplier's operations.

04

Transition to renewable energy

We expect our suppliers to have initiated a plan to replace non-renewable energy sources with renewable ones wherever possible.

05

Healthy working environment

We expect our suppliers to have initiatives that ensure a good and inclusive working environment.

06

Quality assurance and complaints

We demand the same high standards from our suppliers that our customers expect from us. Therefore, we expect our suppliers to have implemented processes that ensure a continuous and consistent supply of products.

Additionally, we expect our suppliers to have established a clear procedure for handling complaints so that SODEMANN Exhibition Systems A/S can continue to guarantee the best quality for our customers.

07

Recyclability

We expect that the products we purchase from our suppliers can be recycled or otherwise ensure an extended lifespan.

This may include take-back schemes, a focus on reducing the use of virgin materials, or incorporating extended lifespan considerations in the design phase, making it easy and convenient to repair.

08

Data and transparency

We encourage our suppliers to strive to meet increased documentation and data requirements by having data on their products and services.

Sustainability committee

Our sustainability committee focuses on our sustainable potential and works with annual goals dedicated to implementing sustainable initiatives in our daily operations.

The committee is employee-driven, as it is important to us that:

  • everyone across the company takes responsibility in the green transition.
  • all employees have a voice where they can provide suggestions, input, and comments related to our sustainability journey.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

We support the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We align our sustainability efforts with the goals as it promotes a more holistic approach that considers the environment, society, and governance.

We prefer to concentrate our efforts on a few goals rather than trying to address all 17 and losing momentum. Thus far, we have worked with two: Goal 8 and Goal 12. Many of our initiatives contribute to the targets of these goals. For example, we support Target 12.4, 'Responsible management of chemicals and waste,' by investing in a new printer that, with its innovative technology, ensures less chemical use in our daily operations. Read more about our initiatives and work with the various targets in our sustainability report.

We support selected organizations and associations

We want to give back to the local community and the world around us. Below are the projects we support:
