Corporate social responsibility
WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY
We document all our actions during the production process. We offer full test reports and quality reports on delivery to secure openness. This guarantees both us and our clients the highest possible quality standards. It is our priority to have a close dialogue with our partners. We visit our partners’ production sites when possible to secure an open line for communications regarding the production.
We also prioritize the social conditions on our partners’ sites. We cooperate with companies who offer the relevant social certifications such as BSCI or/and SEDEX that live up to our customers’ requests.

metal recycles forever
Tin is 100% recyclable and is therefore one of the most sustainable packaging materials on the market today. When choosing tin for your product you take an active stand on securing a greener future.
The “METAL recycles forever™”-logo sends out a clear visual signal to your European consumers that you have actively chosen a sustainable material for your packaging. A material which, in principle, can be recycled an infinite number of times, and has a high recycling rate.
By bearing this logo, your product will contribute to sending a message to the world that metal – by comparison with many other materials – reduces the global consumption of resources.
The probably most important effects of the logo is that it helps the consumer to recycle the packaging correctly after use.
FSC-certification
Companized has a FSC®-certified trademark license. This license grant us permission to mark our wood, cardboard and paper products with the FSC-logo if all stages of the production live up to the applicable requirements for FSC®-certified forests.
The brand guarantees that no more wood is cut down than the forest can reproduce. The FSC® certification is also a guarantee that animals and plant life are protected and that the people working in the forest are trained and receive proper safety equipment and salary.
As the world’s only global organization, FSC has support from WWF, Greenpeace and Forests of the World as well as social organizations as the BAT-cartel and companies from all over the world.
QUALITY CONTROL
We work directly with factories in China – without agents or middlemen – and therefore we control all of the production processes from development of prototype to colour adjustment and freight ourselves.
We also take care of development of 3D and technical drawings. Vi receive the finished sample for approval and help approve the purchase of materials from sub-contractors (in-line inspection).
We secure quality control (final QC), decides on the best sea or air freight according to time and pricing and we take care of repacking at own warehouse or delivery directly to the customer as requested.

Our Danish purchasers travel regularly to China to carry out quality control on all goods at the factories. We use the international standard AQL 4.0 for the purposes of the quality test.

THE UN SUSTAINABLE WORLD GOALS
As a company we want to be able to show our clients, partners and customers, in what manner we are responsible and to tell why we prioritize these actions. We have chosen UN Sustainable Development Goals as one of our main measuring points as it is well-known to our partners and clients and therefore have the possibility of making the biggest effect locally and globally.
But how do we make our message relevant? How can we act in order to secure a more responsible global development and how do we implement it in our visions and work life? We want to commit to making a difference. At the same time we want to tell how we experience the development in trying to make a change in our daily processes as a small Danish business.
We want to commit to making a difference and fight for a greener future. By narrowing our focus down to four concrete UN goals that enables us to change our daily routines for the better, it becomes easier for us to anchor it in our daily tasks, conversations and reasoning and thereby share our beliefs with clients and partners.
The four target goals
We have chosen the following goals as our primary target:
8: Decent work and economic growth
11: Sustainable cities and communities
12: Responsible consumption and production
17: Partnerships for the goals
At Companized we believe in responsibility, goals and strategic action whenever possible and doing our best every single day as a business and a team as well as individuals.

ESG
ESG is a standard used to determine how responsible a company is within three areas: Environmental, Social and Governance.
As of January 2024, the EU requires all large public companies, as well as companies with more than 250 employees, to report their ESG data. Later on, all companies, both private and public, will most likely be subject to the same regulation.
The ESG key figures are relevant to us as a business partner and manufacturer and to our customers. At Companized we have worked on establishing and quality-assuring the procedures of our processes to the best of our ability for a long time; we will continue doing so and improve our endeavours along the way. This is to be as transparent as possible and take responsibility for our part of the production process.
