As the diblong family, we are aware of the effects of climate change on our world and our environment, therefore we have implemented the diblong Sustainability Projects to leave a livable world and natural resources to future generations. In this context, we carry out measurement and regulatory activities at every step from production in our factories to distribution to our consumers, in order to reduce our carbon footprint and therefore adding value to life.

SUPPORT TO ECOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE

By protecting the soil with practices that will ensure the continuity of our raw material supply process, we reduce the harmful environmental effects of agriculture and we support sustainable agricultural practices. We look after every piece of ginseng that is extracted from the soil and is the raw material of our products, and we ensure the quality of our raw materials by acting in conscious cooperation with our farmers from the field to the production process. As a part of our responsibility towards society, our environment and our consumers, we keep the raw materials and materials used in diblong production under control and surveillance, and we have laboratory analyzes done on a regular basis.

LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGIES IN OUR FACTORIES

In our Diblong production facilities, we aim to become a registered zero waste organization by achieving a net zero carbon footprint by 2030. To achieve this goal, we invest in energy efficiency projects in our production facilities and buildings and evaluate renewable energy supply and installation opportunities to use it in our operations.

By enlarging the windows in our factories, warehouses and offices, we make maximum use of daylight and keep electricity use to a minimum.

In addition, within the scope of our greenhouse gas reduction works in 2022, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 38% compared to the previous year, by supplying our electricity from renewable energy sources and replacing the lighting materials we use with environmentally friendly lighting devices that give more light and consume less energy.

RECYCLABLE PACKAGING

In order to minimize the environmental impact caused by the packaging of our diblong products, we are working on reducing the amount of packaging, increasing reuse and recycling.

The packaging of our diblong products is produced from recyclable packaging, and as of 2020, we have replaced the standard materials that we use in our cargo boxes and packaging with higher quality, environmentally friendly materials.

PACKAGING REDUCTION

We focus on less resource consumption and the use of recyclable materials in our packaging processes. We support reuse and recycling works and we design the packaging volume and weight of our products in a way that will generate minimum waste, in order to reduce our environmental impact resulting from packaging processes.

Instead of the thick and voluminous packaging we use in our product packaging, we started to use more innovative and economic packaging styles to protect our quality and transportation safety of our products. In 2022, we reduced the packaging size of the cardboard stands of our diblong 12-pack drinks to stop unnecessary packaging waste.

FIGHTING PLASTIC

We show ultimate attention not to use plastic in our diblong products. By continuing to focus on less resource consumption and the use of recyclable materials in our packaging processes, we accelerate our R&D efforts and continue our fight against plastics. We prohibit the use of plastic bags in our factories and offices and we only use bags and carrying materials made from environmentally friendly and recyclable materials.

ANIMAL FRIENDLY PRODUCTS

Respect and importance for animal rights is one of the cornerstones of diblong’s product safety philosophy, and none of diblong’s products are tested on animals.
