Sustainability is not a side initiative -
it’s our foundation!
At COZE AARHUS, sustainability is not a side initiative — it is the foundation of our future strategies and for everything we do. We believe that tackling the complex challenges of our time requires a holistic mindset, where environmental, social, and economic impacts are considered in every decision, across every part of the business.
And that to truly understand and act responsibly, we must look at the system as a whole – and try to understand how all parts of the system interact with each other.
Our approach to sustainable development is broad and interconnected. It means working not only to reduce harm but to actively learn and aim to regenerate, empower, and inform. We integrate sustainability into our mindset, operations, partnerships,
product design, employee well-being, marketing efforts and community engagement.
As part of our commitment, we are proud this year to have achieved B Corp Certification — a rigorous third-party standard that measures companies on
their social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
Among other achievements, we managed to make public an environmental policy and
established a whistleblower scheme.
The certification process also taught us about proud employee engagement and about positively creating space for innovative ideas across all competencies, and we welcome each and every one. For us, when applying for a certification, we do it not just for the badge of honor or to use it as a marketing tool. It is a framework that pushes us to do better and stay focused, and it is a signal to stakeholders that we are serious about walking the talk.
We welcome the scrutiny of third-party certifications because we believe true sustainability must be verifiable. Inviting others to look over our shoulder helps ensure that the promises we make — on climate, on equity, on ethics — are promises everyone in our organization keeps. Our journey is ongoing, and we are committed to continuous learning and improvement.
With a holistic mindset and strong accountability, we aim not just to be part of the solution — but to help shape a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future for all.
