Together for a sustainable future
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, our quality control system ensures consistant high quality products and service. We continuously work on efficiency improvements and innovations to enhance sustainability and meet the requirements of our stakeholders, now and in the future.
We are also certified for ISO 14001:2015. This is the ISO certification for Environmental Management System. This certification reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices throughout every phase of operations in our production and print centre. Examples of measures we take within the production are using green energy in the factory, using water-based ECO inks in the print centre, focus on waste management by reducing packaging materials and recycling waste, minimising the use of plastic and utilising euro return pallets for transport.
Our responsibility within the supply chain
At Showdown Displays we highly value the importance of our social responsibility. Within our own company, but we also expect the same from all our suppliers of goods and raw materials.
Therefore, we formulated a Code of Practice which describes the values Showdown Displays has committed to worldwide and our suppliers must comply with.
“Our aim is to make a positive impact on society and to contribute to a sustainable future.”
Wellbeing of our employees is of utmost importance
Our employees are the most valuable assets of the company. We find it important to make sure they can work in a safe and healty environment. In our factory and in our offices. In order to create an ergonomically sound workspace, we invest in the right equipment to support our people. Among which a telescopic roller conveyer in the warehouse and sit-stand desks in the offices. In our production facility in Přestanov, we yearly perform ethical audits to check for a healthy and safe work environment, good hygiene and labour practices.
In addition, we aim to motivate and encourage the growth of our employees within our company. Whether this is in career opportunities or training and knowledge. Last year, many of our employees had the chance to grow in a new job function. Other employees are provided with professional development or internal coaching. In this way we make sure everybody within the company can grow.
Giving back to communities
We are committed to making a positive impact and giving back to the communities around us, both locally and in third-world countries. That’s why we started a partnership with ShineBean. Through ShineBean our employees support children in Kenya, both financially as on a social level. The aim of our help is to make the people in Kenya self-sufficient.
In The Netherlands we’ve launched a new voluntary initiative with Proteion, a care organisation for the elderly. Every Tuesday, a dedicated duo of Dutch employees joins forces to support activities and make a meaningful contribution to the lives of these individuals.
In the Czech Republic we work with sheltered employment centres Arkadie o.p.s. and Inva Družstvo. We are already a partner with these organisations for more than 10 years. By doing this, we offer people with disabilities a job. Nowadays, these people have an important role within the production process of our snap frames.
Ecovadis Bronze Medal
We have accomplished the Ecovadis bronze medal for our commitment to sustainability. We have been recognised by Ecovadis, a trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. Positioning us among the top 35% of companies worldwide. This recognition reflects our ongoing dedication to environmental responsibility and ethical business practices. Together for a sustainable future!
