Sustainable Procurement & Governance

Responsibility doesn't end with the purchase.

Sustainability begins long before a product reaches our shelves – starting with the selection of our suppliers, the method of procurement, and the way we define responsibility. DQ Solutions is committed to fair, ethical, and environmentally conscious procurement practices. Our goal: A supply chain that not only meets standards but supports them.

At DQ Solutions, we make decisions consciously and with a long-term perspective: focusing on quality, ethics, and sustainability. We prefer to work with partners who share our standards, communicate openly, and are willing to take responsibility together. In doing so, we continuously review our purchasing processes, improve our criteria, and systematically expand ecological and social aspects - step by step, but consistently.
