We live sustainability
Focus on our future
DERIX: Sustainable company
by conviction
Sustainable in
many areas
Whether e-bikes, photovoltaic systems or state-of-the-art technologies – we at DERIX focus on sustainability in all areas of our work. This is how we take responsibility.

DERIX cradle to cradle
DERIX efficiency
Our way of working is efficient and resource-saving. We work with state-of-the-art production facilities that save energy and are very material-efficient. Our new X-LAM plant in Westerkappeln and our new finger jointing line in Niederkrüchten are good examples of the high value we place on the use of state-of-the-art technology. We also focus on efficiency with our organisational structure by applying the RAP principle.

DERIX for future:
Our actions for a better future
“Responsibility” is firmly anchored in our core values. We see it as part of our mission to protect our environment through sustainable action and thus preserve it for future generations. With our internal initiative “DERIX for future”, we design processes and structures within the DERIX-Group to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Together we are always finding new ideas and starting points on how to make our company a little bit more environmentally conscious and ecological – be it through the use of environmentally friendly office materials, the use of the tree-planting Ecosia search engine or office furniture made from X-LAM leftovers.
DERIX mobility
We are in a continuous development towards e-mobility. Our pool vehicle and some company cars are already e-cars. We will gradually convert our entire vehicle fleet to e-mobility. To avoid duplicate journeys, we organise car pools internally. We also contribute to the cost of e-bikes as part of our employees’ preventive health care. Charging stations for the e-bikes are available at our locations.
DERIX wasteless
Wood is a valuable raw material. That is why we should handle it conscientiously – and avoid any waste. We achieve this not only by using resource-efficient machines, but also by reusing wood scraps. That’s why we work together with the innovative start-up FIX Furniture. FIX designs and builds environmentally friendly and circular houses and furniture from wood. The young company creates high-quality and sustainable furniture from our X-LAM scraps. In this way, we ensure that as much wood as possible is used sensibly and its life cycle is extended, thus protecting the environment and the climate.
