DECO is committed to being at the forefront of innovative and sustainable solutions for the building industry.
Building a Better Framework
As a family-owned family business, DECO has been built on values that create meaningful contributions to our people, partners and local communities alike. Our tangible efforts to improve our environmental performance have taken priority as we continue to grow.
Central to our Sustainability Framework is our alignment with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals outline 169 targets that serve as a universal blueprint for a better future, urging global cooperation to address poverty, inequality, climate change, and other pressing challenges while promoting sustainable economic growth and preserving our planet’s natural resources. DECO has identified 27 targets where we can actively make a positive impact, or aspire to do so.
