  • DIAM’s 2023 materiality assessment recognizes that biodiversity, water and climate are among the most critical planetary boundaries breached today. Chemicals & Waste and recycling are also material issues.
  • DIAM’s material impacts come from raw materials including plastic, metal, and timber-based material; electronics, and chemicals.
  • DIAM assessed its biodiversity footprint, emphasizing impacts from raw materials and in-store product use. 
  • In 2024, DIAM launched a double materiality exercise to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by 2025.

    • By 2025, DIAM will use 100% certified wood-based products in production and have certified its relevant sites for chain of custody.

  • DIAM’s biodiversity actions focus on: measuring, evaluating, and improving impacts; eco-designing products; building internal knowledge; and regenerating nature.
  • DIAM uses policies and action plans for climate change, pollution, water use and resources and circular economy.
  • For example, DIAM uses life cycle assessments (LCAs) as a basis of product design, working to use less materials, less harmful materials, and enabling a circular economy.​
