At Diab, sustainability is not an abstract ambition or a side initiative. It’s a core principle that shapes everything we do. From the materials we develop and the people we employ, to the positive impact our solutions have on the world around us. The indirect benefits of lower weight, higher strength, and optimised production are fundamental to delivering true sustainability.
We define sustainability through four interconnected lenses. Environmentally, it focuses on managing emissions, energy, materials, and waste, always with biodiversity in mind. Socially, it involves respecting human rights, ensuring safe and inclusive workplaces, and contributing to the communities to which we belong. Economically, it emphasizes operating with transparency, ethics, and a commitment to stable, long-term value. For us, sustainability means finding the balance in these four global goals:
13 Climate action Diab takes action to combat climate change and its impacts.
3 Good health and well-being Diab promotes health and well-being at work.
5 Gender equality Diab is committed to achieve gender equality.
8 Decent work and economic growth Diab is a good workplace, contributing to sustainable economic growth.

The Science Based Targets initiative provides a framework for businesses to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement's goals, which aim to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Diab has approved CO2-reduction plans following the Science Based Targets initiative requirement since 2018, making us a pioneer in our industry.

Choosing a suitable core material is essential when designing a sustainable application. On the one hand, it's about the material's direct environmental impact. On the other hand, it's also about the positive impact of how lower weight can contribute to reduce CO2 emissions, and how Diab’s smart solutions can optimise the resin uptake in customer applications. Using a sandwich core solution, you can contribute to a more sustainable society and application.

As the first company in our industry, we introduced Mass balanced PVC foam made from bio-circular raw materials. Mass balancing can be described as buying raw materials the same way you buy green energy. Diab procures a certified amount of fossil-free raw material and adds it to the process. All steps throughout the supply chain are certified by the ISCC, one of the world’s largest certification systems.

Advanced kits use Diab’s bespoke software, which enables the analysis of the curvature of each kit part. By optimizing the number of curvature grooves, the distance between them, and the angle of each groove, resin uptake and weight can be reduced. Together with fossil-free PVC, it helps our customers decrease the Global Warming Potential (GWP) and take another step toward decoupling from fossil feedstock.

Diab provides Environmental Product Declarations for all products. These declarations offer a comprehensive view of the product's environmental impact and calculate the GWP (Global Warming Potential). Utilizing 100% green electricity and transitioning from fossil-based energy heating to bio-based alternatives has reduced the GWP for PVC foam by 35%.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are classified into three scopes. Scope 1 includes direct emissions from owned sources, such as vehicle emissions and on-site fuel combustion. Scope 2 encompasses indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy, such as electricity and heating. Scope 3 encompasses other indirect emissions throughout a company’s value chain, including those from suppliers like us, product use, and waste disposal.
