Now comes the hardest part: “The How” We have prototyped, brainstormed, discussed and listened to our stakeholders. All this led us to be ready to start this journey and successfully achieve our sustainability goals
2023
With a very motivated and engaged team, we are prepared to transform into a more sustainable company. We recognize the significance of sustainability, and this bonds us across teams and inspires an all-hands-on deck approach.
With a well-defined sustainability strategy and a dynamic partner network in place, we obtained an overview of our status quo by collecting data and have initiated the first round of improvements.
Our current product line is centered on workers' health and safety, demonstrating our commitment through its ergonomic and lightweight design.
We have focused on extending the lifespan of our products and enhancing their quality. Circularity is integral to our processes, as we refurbish our products to give them a second life.
2026
Our vision is to advance sustainable wearable tech for a more conscious world.
ProGlove shapes a future where our innovative scanner technology enhances efficiency, enriches well-being on the shopfloor, meanwhile minimizing its impact on nature. Enabling our customers to see us as a solution provider in ESG.
We commit to go always beyond being just compliant and that we will always look out for how to be even better.
We take smart and pragmatic decisions regarding both environmental and economic impacts. Our activities are prioritized based on Business Cases, ROI analysis, customer traction and our goal to decarbonize our corporate carbon emissions.
Sustainable acting is embedded in our everyday work and strategical decisions. It is driven by every employee of Proglove.
Establishing a more streamlined infrastructure within Proglove to improve our sustainability based on data driven decisions.
One of the biggest challenges is to get all relevant data for an on-time low effort reporting. We will focus on establishing an infrastructure considering a high automized data providing to focus more on the doing than on data gathering. Further this should support us to not just take environmental positive but also economical smart decisions by deciding on data.
We offer our customers new solutions considering the aspects of circularity.
We already have some aspects of circularity considered in our current doing, but we see there still a lot mor potential how to also consider the whole life cycle. Step by step we will increase the level of circularity maturity.
Actively seeking for external perspective & innovation
Our business partners' and customers' perspective on ESG, as well as new technologies, are considered when exploring ways to have a positive impact on society and the environment.
There is so much knowledge outside and so many new technologies, new innovations, new ideas! It is all about catching this knowledge and learning from others.
We strive to make ESG more accessible to all by presenting information in a clear and understandable language. We aim to highlight to everyone how they can contribute to this cause, ensuring that it becomes tangible and meaningful for them.
By exploring the world of ESG we noticed the complexity in this field but also the difficult and foreign language. We want everybody contributing to this topic by having valuable conversations and smart measures.
We are conscious about the need to translate the world of ESG into an easy language, pointing out what is the meaning of it and what is the impact, but also benefit for every individual.
CARBON EMISSIONS
We strive for a 10% reduction tCO2e/1Mio Revenue of our Corporate Carbon Footprint.
We are committed to getting carbon neutral in all scopes until 2035. Behind us lies one year of understanding and analyzing our Carbon Footprint. Now at least we want not just to talk and analyze anymore, we want to take more and more measures to go in the direction of cutting our Carbon Footprint.
International Framework
ProGlove, as part of society, aims to embed in its business model common practices that will empower us to work on the same goal of a more resilient and conscious world.
Standardization has been a complex matter in the sustainability world as we have found ourselves surrounded by a large list of different initiatives that strive to bring a common framework. However, all these programs bring diverse approaches and a wide range of metrics.
This is why we have chosen to pay attention to those international frameworks that provide us with the best strategy to work on the material topics for ProGlove.
These are the international frameworks which principles and guidelines have been included in our policies, processes, and decisions-making at all levels:

We have committed to aligning our operations with The Ten Principles, that intends to protect the environment, human rights, and workers, while ensuring an ethical business.
