Sustainability

Sustainability has been an important theme within Senzora for years. For example, Senzora was the first manufacturer to use a phosphate-free detergent in 1969.

Since 2009, Senzora has been certified according to the AISE Charter for Sustainable cleaning, a European sustainability standard for the detergent industry. Companies affiliated with this state that they can produce sustainably.

AISE

As a member of the NVZ industry association, Senzora conforms to its sustainability policy. The washing, cleaning, maintenance and disinfection products sector approaches sustainability on the basis of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals have been set by all 193 member states of the United Nations and form the sustainability agenda for the period 2015-2030. They show that sustainability is about many different aspects, such as climate change and responsible use of raw materials, but also about gender equality and good health for everyone.

Labor standards / employee rights
Health & safety
Environmental / Eco management
Business ethics

Senzora has been a member of SEDEX for years. That is why we have also filled in Sedex’s SAQ (Self Assessment Questionnaire or self-declaration) on the website, so that customers can view our data, for example. Senzora has been audited by SGS through a multi-day so-called SMETA audit (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit). Interviews with various employees at all levels are part of the audit.
