Our social and environmental responsibilities

10/08/2023

A century of business activity is no accident. We owe our longevity not only to the quality of our products. We believe that our values and commitments are the keys to a healthy, dynamic company. Our actions in favor of social and environmental responsibility are inspired by standard 26000. The latter is based on 7 pillars including respect for human rights, mode of governance, working relationships and conditions, local development or commitment to the environment. Keep on reading to find out more about our commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Sourced material and equipment

Keck Chimie checks the origin of each and every material used. Garment travel bags are, for example, made from ethically sourced cotton and raw materials having GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification or GRS (Global Recycled Standard) label.

Infallible traceability

Our company’s network of local partners and trusted suppliers enables Keck Chimie to keep track of all our materials. Their origin is controlled, and every stage of production, from ordering materials to making products, is mastered down to the smallest detail.

Research focused on developing ecological solutions

Being aware that preserving the environment is one of the major challenges of our time, Keck Chimie has given its R&D department a crucial mission: to develop environmentally-friendly products for industry. Two new eco-friendly adhesives, polyurethane-based ECHOPEL 712 adhesive and polychloroprene-based ECHOPEL, have been elaborated to combine performance and protection. The eco-friendly adhesives for sports are also designed to respect the environment in which athletes will use the items, whether aquatic or alpine.

Humane and respectful management

Keck Chimie is a medium-sized, family-run business where trust is not an empty word. Its management is based on ethics, respect and collaboration. A single watchword: that the quality of its chemical products for industry is matched by the quality of its interpersonal relationships.

One company serving numerous industries

Keck Chimie’s commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business makes it a benchmark for many manufacturers. The luxury leather goods and sports industries call on Keck Chimie for the chemical products they need for industrial production. The inks on the balls used in the World Cup are designed and produced by Keck Chimie, as are the adhesives used on the highest-quality paddles of the market.

Keck Chimie, 100 years of commitment to a sustainable world

Sustainability isn’t just a trend at Keck Chimie. It has been the company’s watchword since it was founded at the beginning of the last century. The industrial chemical products manufacturer strives for excellence so that the products it helps to manufacture last over time. Our goal? Products that outlast us! Long before its time, Keck Chimie was concerned with quality, so as not to participate in a disposable industry.
