DICKSON, an eco-friendly player committed to improving people’s living environments

Aware of the environmental stakes and of its responsibility as a key player in the building sector, Dickson bases its innovation policy on sustainable development. This principle also applies to each stage of our products’ lifecycle, from beginning to end.

ACTIVELY HELPING REDUCE ENERGY COSTS WITH ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS

Fabrics that are thermo-regulating, self-cleaning, provide effective solar protection, and soon energy-generating (photovoltaic): the products developed by Dickson are designed to be eco-friendly and to improve people’s living environments. They fit seamlessly into the new generation building standards, HQE and BBC.

MINIMIZING THE USE OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES

Concerned about limiting the carbon footprint related to its products as much as possible, Dickson makes efficient, long-lasting fabrics, most without dyeing, a process that pollutes and consumes considerable amounts of water.

OPTIMIZING ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Efficient management of both energy and water is a top priority for Dickson. Therefore, the tools and treatments used in the manufacturing process operate at temperatures of only around 100°C. The out-going water is reused to heat the incoming water, and waste from the production process is recycled.

BUILDING AWARENESS, INFORMING CUSTOMERS AND SPECIFIERS

Dickson helps build public awareness of the effectiveness of solar protection as a means for saving energy. In collaboration with industry experts, Dickson has notably developed software that calculates the energy savings generated by solar protection on the scale of an entire building.
