We believe wood is powerful, versatile and full of possibilities. This belief shapes our approach to sustainability too.
As our CEO Pieterjan Desmet says: "The spirit of wood carries a sense of responsibility too." For us, sustainability is more than a responsibility. It is an opportunity to lead, innovate and drive change in our industry.
This commitment reflects our dedication to advancing our environmental footprint and is embedded in our business strategy.
Industry partners require certainty. They look for transparency and assurance in their materials. This is why our 2024 Sustainability Report is now available. It includes the entire Decospan Group. This demonstrates our full commitment to responsible practices across all operations.
Just as wood adapts, transforms & endures, we constantly evolve to improve. Sustainability involves people, partnerships and how we shape our industry. We aim to lead the way.
Our production facilities are exclusively located in Europe. This provides for shorter supply chains and robust quality control. This commitment offers reliability and peace of mind to our partners.
We structure our efforts around three strong pillars. We call these our 'favourite places'. Each pillar showcases clear progress, designed to build confidence in every Decospan product.
Guaranteed responsible sourcing is paramount. Navigating EUDR compliance can be complex, so we handle this for our partners. In 2024:
- Over 98% of our wood originates came from low-risk sources.
- 92% holds FSC® (FSC-C095327) and PEFC (PEFC/07-32-60) certification.
- 100% is verified for legality and ethical sourcing.
Projects begin with wood sourced with the highest integrity.
Products should always be designed for circularity and transparency. Our veneers and finishes do not hinder the recycling of products.
We provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). This offers full transparency on the environmental impact of our products. All necessary details are available.
We also utilise our own renewable energy. In 2024, 22% of the electricity for our production comes from our solar installations. We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint.
Our engaged and skilled people are our strength. Their dedication drives excellence.
The Decospan Academy ensures continuous expertise. This means our team, and by extension your projects, benefit from the latest knowledge and craftsmanship.

True sustainable progress results from collective effort. These goals require powerful partnerships.
We share a dedication to shaping a fully circular, climate-neutral value chain. Your collaboration helps us achieve this vision.
Our long-term commitment includes a clear strategic roadmap. We describe it as rooting, branching and flourishing. Our aim is positive impacts by 2040. This plan enables us to realise our mission. We define objectives across our ‘favourite places’ and powerful partnerships, framed by short-, medium- and long-term milestones.
