A story of sustainable cooperation: ieber.lv and Dižozols Plus during health week

The competitiveness of modern companies is determined not only by financial results, but also by the ability to inspire employees and implement sustainable practices in everyday life. That is why the health week at Dižozols Plus became a great example of how to connect employee well-being with small steps towards sustainability .

Health Week Inspired by Centenarians

In collaboration with the social enterprise ieber.lv, Dižozols Plus employees had the opportunity to learn how simple daily habits help to live more sustainably and healthily, inspired by the lifestyle of centenarians. Such activities not only strengthen employees' health, but also motivate them to think about resource conservation and the circular economy.

Zero waste initiatives – a valuable example for other companies

The Dižozols Plus sustainability report reveals several initiatives that inspire:

• Efficient use of wood – waste from the production of designer chairs is turned into briquettes and sewn scraps, which help the company provide heat. In 2024 alone, more than 116,000 branches were repaired.

• Leather and fabric scraps are donated to educational institutions:

  • Young people from Riga State Technical School make notebook covers, souvenir boxes, etc. from them.

  • At the Alsviķi Vocational School , where young people with disabilities also study, they are transformed into handicraft projects.

  • Other educational institutions also use these resources for creative work.

    This approach shows how a company can not only reduce waste, but also add value to society and youth education .
