Sustainability

At Maxeda DIY Group, we believe that the path to a better world begins with the choices we make, not only for ourselves but also for the generations to come. As a leading do-it-yourself retailer in the Benelux, we recognize the importance of our responsibility towards the environment, society, and our organization.

Our commitment to sustainability is a key component of our business principles. Through our 'Make it Sustainable' strategy, we are dedicated to creating a sustainable and appealing retail organization. Our aim is to assist Makers in making a contribution to a more sustainable world through their DIY projects.
Part of this strategy is our sustainability roadmap, which focuses on three key areas and their associated initiatives. Through various existing and new sustainable initiatives, we strive to make a positive impact on the environment, society, and our organization. By implementing these initiatives in the coming years, we aim to achieve our goal of reducing our CO2 footprint by 42% by 2030 compared to 2020 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

Together, we are building a better, more sustainable future for everyone.
