Keller Kitchens’ sustainability milestone

August 2, 2023

Keller Kitchens, A Dutch kitchen manufacturer, which is well-known for its pioneering approach to sustainability, is proud to announce that its parent company, DKG, has been awarded level 5 on the CO2 Performance Ladder: the highest level possible.

This Ladder is the measuring instrument for governing bodies and large companies. The higher the level, the more sustainable the company is! DKG is the parent company of both Keller Kitchens and Bruynzeel Kitchens and, by achieving level 5, it demonstrates that the company has not only taken the necessary steps to massively reduce its own C02 emissions, but also for the entire supply chain.

Every opportunity has been taken by the DKG Group to reduce carbon emissions throughout the business. This award is testament to the fact that this kitchen specialist remains at the forefront of sustainable initiatives in the industry.

The rising importance of sustainable initiatives like this is partly driven by the ambition of the Dutch government, which aims to achieve a fully circular economy by 2050. To make this a reality, thousands of small and large companies in the construction and real estate sector must transition to a new way of operating.

This transition takes time, which is why DKG has been CO₂-conscious for many years. In April 2017 the company became a carbon neutral manufacturer. In 2021, the company reached level 3 on the CO₂-Performance ladder, demonstrating their commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions within the organisation. By achieving level 5 on the CO_2-Performance ladder, DKG also proves that significant steps have been taken throughout the entire supply chain to reduce emissions.

The development of the circular kitchen is a great example of this. This initiative makes it possible to reuse waste materials through the circular kitchen process to create new raw materials for kitchen production.
