Sustainable Protection
Environmental, societal and economic
Procovès implements the concept of “sustainable protection” for its gloves and hoods based on 3 areas: environmental, societal and economic.
On an environmental level, PROCOVES always seeks to eliminate any causes of an impact or reduce them during the glove and hood design phase and manufacturing all the way to the final delivery.
Our sustainable development policy is implemented through an impact improvement plan that considers our suppliers and providers as privileged partners.
PROCOVES signed up the Charter of Sustainable Procurement and Supplier Relations and obtained the labelling “Sustainable Procurement and Supplier Relations” (RFAR). The sustainable procurement policy and the nomination of an internal mediator (mediateur.fournisseurs@wleiprocoves.com) are the cornerstones of this project. Discover our procurement policy.
Thus, we view excellence as respect for ISO 14001 standards in the glove and hood value chain.
