Sustainability
Sustainability in construction still has a long way to go. Cement production—one of concrete’s primary ingredients—accounts for roughly 6–8% of global CO2 emissions. As a Poland‑based wholesaler of minerals, DSG Trading supports lower‑carbon concrete solutions by supplying natural pozzolans and high‑quality pumice that can reduce clinker content and improve durability.
The Production of “clinker” accounts for most of the CO2 emissions of cement production 1 ton of cement production = 1 ton of CO2 emissions
Pozzolan Products
Our Tephra® products offer a practical, lower‑carbon alternative for the construction industry. When used to replace a portion of cement in concrete, Tephra® can reduce the associated carbon footprint by up to 95% versus cement on an equivalent basis. This partial cement replacement delivers a measurable reduction in CO2 emissions and gives real substance to “green building” claims. From our base in Poland, DSG Trading supplies Tephra® across the EU and worldwide to support more sustainable construction.

Our Commitment
At DSG Trading, sustainability is a foundational pillar of how we operate from our base in Poland. It guides how we work with customers, manufacture and source products, interact with the environment, and plan for future growth.
Operating responsibly is central to our vision of being the world leader in high‑quality pumice products and pozzolan materials. We strive to be good stewards of resources across all activities, aiming to leave a positive legacy in every community we touch.
Wherever possible, we incorporate materials that might otherwise be treated as waste—diverting them from disposal, reducing environmental burden, and turning them into valuable inputs for durable, lower‑carbon products. Through these actions and our EU‑aligned practices, we support a more sustainable mineral supply chain for Poland, Europe, and global markets.
Our Goals
From our base in Poland, DSG Trading turns sustainability commitments into action. We expand lower‑carbon mineral solutions like natural pozzolans and high‑purity pumice, source responsibly to EU standards, and optimize rail and intermodal logistics to cut transport emissions. Our operations prioritize energy efficiency, water stewardship, and waste reduction—using recycled packaging, minimizing product loss, and incorporating suitable by‑products as circular inputs. We measure and report progress with clear KPIs, uphold best‑in‑class safety, and support our communities across Poland and the EU, delivering reliable mineral supply with a lighter footprint.

Operations
At DSG Trading, environmental stewardship is part of our daily mindset. From minimizing disturbance around our mining sites to continually reducing waste at our facilities in Poland, our operational practices reflect a firm commitment to sustainability.
Land reclamation is a top priority. We aim to leave a light footprint across all mining and processing activities, exceeding mandated reclamation requirements where possible. Through careful research, planning, and deposit management, we minimize local impacts while extracting mineral reserves efficiently—improving site conditions and safeguarding surrounding ecosystems.
