Green Thinking
Green Thinking guides our commitment to the environment and shapes how we pursue responsible and sustainable innovation.

We thought green.

Green Thinking is our commitment to sustainability, responsible innovation, and ongoing efforts to lower our business and products’ environmental impact.
 
From research and formula development to packaging design, production and logistics processes. We make decisions that consciousness environmental with effective and safe products.
S.A. PRODER understand sustainability as a way to develop effective and responsible chemical solutions aimed at reducing their environmental impact. Green Thinking was born as an internal concept to understand production with a balance between effectiveness, safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility in every solution we create for hygiene, cleaning and disinfection.

More than a philosophy.

Producing more sustainably does not mean only using low-impact raw materials. This involves thinking through the entire process, from product design and formulation to manufacturing, packaging, transport, and end-use. Each decision can contribute to optimising resources, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact without sacrificing the performance required by each application.
S.A. PRODER bets on a chemistry that thinks in the long term. A chemistry capable of responding to the current needs of our customers and, at the same time, moving towards more efficient and responsible production models.
 
Green Thinking is, ultimately, our way of growing by developing sustainable solutions, addressing aspects such as:
 
  • Responsible formulation: optimisation of formulations to reduce environmental impact without compromising effectiveness.
  • Production efficiency: process optimisation, water and energy consumption and waste reduction.
  • Concentration and dosing: concentrated products that can reduce product consumption, packaging and emissions associated with transport.
  • Packaging: search for solutions that reduce materials and facilitate their end-of-life management.
  • Effectiveness and sustainability: a responsible cleaning or disinfection must be effective; using more product than necessary is not a sustainable solution.
  • Life cycle: consider the impact from raw material selection to final waste use and management.

The future is formulated with advanced chemistry.

Our commitment also translates into a range of solutions developed in this direction. S.A. PRODER has created different lines of chemicals for hygiene, cleaning and disinfection that meet the needs of each sector, incorporating efficiency, responsibility and sustainability criteria.
 

Under the Green Thinking concept, our ECO ONE, ECOSAFETY, and SOFT LAUNDRY SYSTEM ranges represent three proposals aimed at moving towards a more efficient and responsible use of chemicals, without sacrificing the efficiency required by professional cleaning processes, disinfection and textile washing.

Each range meets specific needs within our vision of responsible chemistry: optimise resource use, reduce plastic use with our bag-in-box eco-packaging, promote efficient processes and offer solutions that build a greener future.

Green Thinking Recognition.

S.A. PRODER continuously develops more responsible production methods, which is reflected not only in our solutions, but also in the way we manage our processes. Green Thinking is the reflection of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, which endorse our commitment to management oriented towards environmental respect, quality and continuous improvement. All this integrates environmental criteria of high rigour, where each element is aware that quality does not start or end in a product, but is part of the excellence in our activity.

Committed to quality.
We are assured of AENOR: ISO 9001 Quality Management System – Certificate No. ER-0817/1998, which we renew every year. We establish a system of evaluation and control of risks and opportunities that allows us to improve the effectiveness of the management system.

Committed to the environment. 
Since 2001, we have held the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certificate No. GA-2001/0388. Reducing plastic, paper and resource use in our manufacturing and creating more sustainable products are our goals year after year.

Responsible consumption, sustainable production.

Sustainability is also built on the management of resources. S.A. PRODER works to reduce the environmental impact of our activity. We are working in three specific areas: energy, water and paper. These three lines of action turn the commitment to Green Thinking into concrete and quantifiable measures.

Photovoltaic installation | Clean energy to manufacture with awareness.
In 2023, we incorporated a photovoltaic panel installation on the roof of our facilities, making a firm step towards greater energy self-sufficiency. With 135 panels and an installed power of 72 kWp, the installation allows us to cover 34.5% of our self-consumption with renewable energy and reduce CO emissions by approximately 5 tons per year. A clean-energy bet that improves our energy efficiency and reduces our dependence on fossil fuels.

Water footprint | Every drop counts.
Optimising water consumption is another of the pillars of our environmental strategy. We apply technologies and practices aimed at their conservation and reuse, recovering part of the water used in our processes to reduce total consumption. We also work on the optimisation of water used in washing production machinery and develop concentrated products that require less water both during manufacturing and application. The result is more efficient management of an essential resource, with a 14% reduction in annual water consumption.

Responsible use and reuse of paper.
Responsible paper management is also part of our commitment to resource efficiency. We prioritise FSC-certified paper from sustainably managed forests, as well as the use of recycled paper and material reuse. In addition, we digitise formats, manage prints more efficiently and track internal consumption. This combination of measures has allowed us to reduce paper consumption in the office by 40%, moving towards more efficient and responsible document management.

In this same line, S.A. PRODER uses paper with FSC Mixed certification in all its commercial and corporate printed documentation, incorporating responsible management criteria for forest resources also in its communications. A choice that completes our commitment to more conscious consumption and demonstrates that, in Green Thinking, every resource counts, every decision adds up and each progress brings us closer to a more responsible way of producing and growing.

Carbon footprint | Measure to move forward.
Green Thinking is committed to measuring impact to manage and reduce it. S.A. PRODER has the certification of AENOR for the annual calculation of its carbon footprint, under the recognition CO Calculado, which quantifies our greenhouse gas emissions according to the established calculation criteria.

This measurement exercise allows for an objective view of the environmental impact and turns data into a tool for decision-making. Knowing our carbon footprint means being able to identify opportunities for improvement, set goals, and move towards increasingly efficient and sustainable production. Measure the impact, understand it, reduce it, and move forward. 

EU Ecolabel, minimal environmental impact.

The commitment of S.A. PRODER to more responsible chemistry extends also to its formulations. An increasing part of our range includes the EU Ecolabel, a recognition that identifies products that meet environmental criteria established within the framework of the European Union.

This certification is a step forward in the development of low environmental impact solutions. The certification incorporates criteria related to efficient use of resources and reduction of waste, without sacrificing the efficiency required by professional cleaning applications.

The expansion of EU Ecolabel to different products from S.A. PRODER reflects a line of work aimed at progressively expanding the offer of more responsible solutions and responding to a growing demand for products that integrate efficiency and sustainability. Green Thinking is not just about formulating different products. It means moving toward a chemistry in which performance and respect for the environment are part of the same solution.

Choose today with tomorrow in mind.

Choosing a cleaning product provider is deciding which path we want to take. Green Thinking from S.A. PRODER is the basis of our environmental policy and promotes the creation of effective, responsible solutions aimed at reducing environmental impact. Each of our products contributes to a more sustainable way of working to drive a greener world tomorrow.
