ESG: pioneering a greener tomorrow
In today's world, it's more crucial than ever for businesses to embrace sustainable practices and responsible entrepreneurship. Following the guidelines of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) mandated by European law, we report on our performance across all three ESG pillars. It's not a quick weekend getaway; it's a long-term commitment involving short, medium, and long-term goals, requiring flexibility and teamwork both within Tchai and throughout our value chain.
We have now completed our first Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), gaining valuable insights that helped set clear objectives and refine our sustainability strategies. This assessment forms the basis for our goals, which we are now developing and will share in early 2025.

Grasp your product's impact
Sustainability starts with understanding our products' impact. The Tchai Product Passport is a comprehensive guide detailing each product's environmental performance, including CO²e, water usage, design, recycled content, renewability, and recyclability.
Using independent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles, we analyze these factors to guide our reporting and future projects, enabling immediate sustainability improvements in design, development, packaging, and transportation.
We believe transparency and collaboration drive positive change. By sharing our Product Passport results with clients and suppliers, we empower informed decisions and promote sustainability as a team effort.
Embracing change under the sun
We prioritize renewable energy, harnessing power from our own solar panels and partnering with energy providers who share our environmental commitment. Currently, we're assessing our emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 as part of our sustainability goals. Rest assured, we'll share our objectives once they're clearly defined.

Supporting refugees through the power of sport
Klabu builds clubhouses where refugees can find relief, pride, happiness, and connection through sports, regardless of their circumstances in the camps. We do not only believe in and admire Klabu's work but also share their unbeatable spirit. This shared commitment has led us to collaborate with them, offering our expertise. Whether it's designing their Amsterdam clubhouse and retail store in one or converting a shipping container into a versatile mobile clubhouse. Currently, the second clubhouse (of ten) is well underway, reflecting our dedication to playing our part in Klabu's mission. Our goal is to build all ten clubhouses by 2027.
