Sustainability

In a world that’s changing fast, we believe it’s our responsibility to keep adapting and improving. From the materials we choose to the way we support our team — every step counts. Sustainability isn’t something you achieve once; it’s a process that keeps evolving. That’s why this page will grow with us, as we continue to learn, take action, and make better choices for the planet and the people on it.

Less fuel, more future

We believe that sustainability starts with the choices we make every day. That’s why we provide shared vehicles for our team — a smarter, cleaner alternative to individual car ownership. By reducing the number of cars on the road, we lower our collective carbon footprint and promote responsible mobility. It’s a small step with a big impact — and just one of the ways we’re driving change. Did you know that 33% of our cars are shared vehicles?

Proud Member of UPV

As a trusted provider of protective workwear, we recognize our responsibility to minimize our environmental impact while ensuring the highest standards of safety and durability.

Dapro is proud to be a member of UPV (Uitgebreide Producentenverantwoordelijkheid), an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) initiative. This means we actively take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of our products—from production and use to end-of-life recycling. For every garment we introduce to the market, we contribute a percentage towards recycling. By being part of UPV, we commit to sustainable practices that reduce waste, promote circularity, and contribute to a greener future.

Through innovative materials, responsible sourcing, and eco-conscious production, we continuously work towards reducing our carbon footprint while maintaining the premium protection Dapro is known for.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

We have implemented and are utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology on our packaging for traceability of the products we manufacture. Thanks to this implementation we reduce overproduction due to better stock visibility, lower CO₂ emissions from transport by optimizing shipments, reduce waste from misplaced inventory, improve warehouse efficiency and provide reliable data for sell-through and returns.
