People
We stand for equal opportunities and equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender, background, or beliefs. Today’s workplace demands everyone’s involvement. Differences are not a problem. On the contrary, they make collaboration stronger and more versatile. Everyone’s unique talent strengthens the team. That’s why we focus on:
Diversity Inclusivity Talent development Work-life balance
Environment
What steps have we taken to reduce our ecological footprint?
Product development
Many of our products are biodegradable and water-based. We replace harmful chemicals with milder alternatives. We increase the share of biobased raw materials and replace CMR substances. Sustainable raw materials
In 2024, we have replaced butyl glycol in almost all our removers with environmentally friendly alternatives, such as Ink Remover, Glass Cleaner, Graffiti Remover, and Shadow Remover. EU Ecolabel in sight
For products like our floor cleaner, we are applying for the EU Ecolabel, the highest EU environmental standard. Active waste reduction
We minimize residual waste, dispose of chemical waste responsibly, and have reduced our water usage for IBC cleaning. Sustainable packaging
Our buckets are made from 100% recycled plastic. Wherever possible, we further improve the sustainability of our packaging.
Society
We care about today’s and tomorrow’s society. We strive for a sustainable and inclusive society where everyone feels welcome. That’s why we contribute to important themes that advance the community.
Mavro is actively involved, both locally and broadly. We support sports clubs to promote collaboration and encourage an active lifestyle.
FUTURE-ORIENTED COMPANY BUILDING
Sustainability starts at the workplace. Literally. That’s why our company building in Zaltbommel sends a clear message: we’re committed to a green future! Built completely gas-free in 2023, it’s designed to minimize our ecological footprint.
Smart choices were made to ensure comfort and environmental benefits. The building is energy-neutral, thanks to an efficient heat pump powering underfloor heating and running on our solar energy. Super high-efficiency glass and top-notch insulation retain heat and keep energy consumption low.
The white, reflective roof helps deflect heat, further reducing energy needs. All of this was built according to BREEAM standards, an international sustainability certification.
Making the world cleaner, safer, and more beautiful is Mavro’s daily mission. We believe our workplace should contribute to a sustainable future. Our new building demonstrates that comfort, economy, and eco-friendliness can go hand in hand.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT RANGE
We aim for the most sustainable product range possible.. We actively incorporate bio-based materials where feasible, use more renewable resources in production and strive for an EU-eco (or equivalent) certification for our products.
EQUAL
OPPORTUNITIES
We’re committed to providing equal opportunities to all employees, regardless of gender, origin, or belief. Ensuring equal pay for equal work is fundamental to our values.
ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT
Mavro is actively engaged, both literally and figuratively. We support various sports associations to contribute to fostering positive self-esteem, developing teamwork skills and promoting an active lifestyle.
