DKG is the first Dutch kitchen manufacturer to achieve the highest level on the CO2 Performance Ladder

DKG, the parent company of Bruynzeel Kitchens and Keller Kitchens has the highest level on the CO₂-Performance Ladder. This puts DKG at the forefront of sustainable initiatives in the kitchen industry.

The CO₂-Performance Ladder is the measurement tool for governments and large companies. The higher the level, the more sustainable the company. By achieving level 5, DKG demonstrates that it has not only taken the necessary steps to reduce CO₂-emissions within their own company but also for the entire chain.

That sustainable initiatives such as this are becoming increasingly important is partly due to the ambition of the Dutch government. For example, they want to achieve a fully circular economy by 2050. To make this a reality, thousands of small and large companies in the construction and real estate sector must switch to a new way of working.

This conversion takes time. This is why DKG has been carrying out CO₂-conscious action. In 2021, for example, the company achieved level 3 on the CO₂-Performance Ladder. With this, the company demonstrated that it is working to reduce CO2 emissions within its own organization. By achieving level 5, DKG also proves that steps have been taken within the entire chain to reduce emissions.

A good example is the development of the circular kitchen. For example, DKG has been working for several years to meet the Dutch government's goals of having a 50% circular economy by 2030 and even 100% by 2050. And this cannot be achieved by sitting still.

As the market leader in the industry, DKG wants to set an example by making a difference and being ready for the future. Within the project market, for example, it is already possible to reuse residual materials as raw materials for the production of new kitchens using the circular kitchen process.
