Durable and sustainable
People, Planet and Profit in perfect harmony. This is what Profextru represents. In our vision, another ‘P’ is missing, that is, the P for Profextru. Durability and sustainability form the basis of all our products. We consciously make sustainable choices in our production process to make a contribution towards a sustainable world. We do this through the following aspects:
Social Corporate Responsibility
We want to burden Earth as little as possible. As a result, we have put circular business practices at the top of our list of priorities. We consciously make sustainable choices in our production process. Using recycled plastic as our basic raw material for our products is a conscious choice. At the end of their service life, the profiles can be fully reused as a raw material for new finished products.
People, Planet, Profit & Profextru
Profextru believes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is very important. To take each other and our impact on the environment into account. We take our responsibility seriously and therefore prove our services specifically and objectively in this area through the CSR Performance Ladder certificate. We are proud that we, as one of only 40 companies in the Netherlands, have achieved level 4 (where 5 is the highest level)!
ISO certificates
At Profextru, we believe it is important to permanently assess and optimise our performance. ISO certification helps us in this. We have three ISO certificates: ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 26000 for CSR. These standards give us points of reference when implementing our policy.
LCA report
Stimular has produced a life cycle analysis (LCA) of the Prolock revetment and sheetpile wall made from recycled PVC at the instructions of Profextru Production BV. The result of the LCA is an environmental profile with a very favourable environmental cost indicator (ECI) score. Prolock is therefore included in the Nationale Milieudatabase (NMD; National Environmental Database) and DuboCalc. Clients can now compare Prolock’s environmental impact with other sheetpile walls.
Partnership with Larcom
For many years, we have been making thankful use of work training company Larcom based in Hardenberg, the Netherlands.
Larcom offers sustainable prospects to people at a distance from the labour market. It supports authorities when fleshing out the Dutch Participation Act and assists companies to get capacity where it is required.
This partnership means that Profextru can give shape to the Social Return on Investment (SROI) policy of its customers.
Profextru’s Green Deal
Forests are important to our country and annually attract millions of visitors. Forests, however, also contribute to biodiversity. Trees purify the air and capture CO2. Profextru believes this is sufficient reason to establish a partnership with Staatsbosbeheer (National Forest Service in the Netherlands) through the Buitenfonds foundation.
We donate 250 trees each year to the Buitenfonds foundation to be planted in one of the forests of Staatsbosbeheer. The trees are planted locally as much as possible so that our employees (and all forest lovers 😉) can also fully enjoy ‘our’ trees in the future!
Circularity
An industry without waste by reusing all raw materials again and again, that is doing circular business. Based on this philosophy, we fabricate products using recycled plastic with a long service life. Our products can also, in turn, be recycled again. Our production process is also set up in such a way that we reuse all our own residual material. We do everything we can to ensure the environment is burdened as little as possible.
