Sustainability
Caring for people and the environment
For our customers, we are the leading Swiss provider of innovative, high-quality and ecologically sound coating solutions.
We are a founding member of the “Schweizer Stiftung Farbe” foundation. A quick look at the eco label clearly shows how our coatings are rated in terms of environmental protection, health protection and suitability for use.
We are a founding member of the KMU Clima foundation. Climate and environmental protection are a top priority for us. On a voluntary basis, we fully offset 100% of our direct CO2emissions.
Since our founding in 1921, we have placed the highest value on the quality of our products. Our commitment to consistent quality standards and the integration of ecological considerations have secured us a leading market position.
Through our Integrated Management System (IMS), we have further strengthened our focus on “environmental protection” and “quality assurance”, implementing the necessary processes to support these areas. DOLD is now proud to hold ISO 9001 certification for quality management and ISO 14001 certification for environmental management.
