About DOLLE

Our purchasing policy

Our purchasing policy dictates that we only buy wood-based raw materials from environmentally conscious, trustworthy and reliable suppliers. As far as possible, we endeavor to buy FSC^® - certified products and we will, as a matter of course, refuse to buy wood that has been illegally logged or originates from countries in which basic civil rights are not respected. You can recognize our loft ladders when they are of timber from renewable FSC^® certified forest. They will be marked with the FSC^® logo or FCS^® with our licence code: CO22300. By choosing one of those products, you support responsible use of the world's forests. If they do not carry logo or licence code they are not of FSC^® certified. DOLLE A/S focuses on protecting the environment throughout the entire process, from purchasing, production and distribution - through to the subsequent disposal of industrial waste.

The FSC® label means that the materials in this product are responsibly sourced.

At DOLLE we ensure our wood originates from certified plantations that are managed responsibly. This also ensures that our production complies with current laws and standards in relation to the environment. We recycle materials where possible, sort, press and dispose our waste in a responsible way.

Requirements and expectations

We place the same demands on our suppliers as we do on ourselves. We need to ensure we are delivering competitive products on time, with an effective quality management system being willing to obtain the necessary certificates needed to meet the minimum requirements set for our products and raw materials.
Our partnerships will involve establishing supplier agreements and evaluating suppliers, including auditing their production plants on a regular basis.
