SUSTAINABILITY

    The foundation of our corporate culture.

    Sustainability in its environmental, economic, and social forms is today a defining feature across all merchandise sectors, increasingly important to end consumers; it has become a fundamental requirement.
    COMMITMENT

    Code of Ethics 

    In 2021, Daykem adopted an ethical code based on loyalty and fairness in commercial and professional relationships, but also on the awareness that, in a more responsible and mature industrial system, it is necessary to compete with integrity. One of the goals of this Code is to enhance the awareness of the values and commitments related to social dialogue, human and labor rights, and the corporate social responsibility.

    Detox Project

    Daykem has committed, as part of the Detox project, to the elimination of perfluorinated compounds. For this reason, starting from July 2016, perfluorinated-based resins have been excluded from our production and sales range. Moreover, we have endeavored to find a ‘fluoro-free’ alternative for the waterproofing of textile products. This research activity has yielded encouraging results, with unexpected positive performance, not only in water resistance but also in subsequent washings.
