Our green roof and sustainable landscaping on the company premises promote biodiversity, improve the microclimate, and help reduce heat buildup during the summer. We rely on eco-friendly geothermal energy to heat and cool our buildings efficiently. By harnessing natural ground heat, we reduce energy consumption and permanently lower CO₂ emissions. Part of our energy needs is covered by our own photovoltaic system. By generating renewable solar energy directly on-site, we reduce CO₂ emissions and ensure a future-oriented, eco-friendly power supply.

Our company philosophy is clear: we manufacture premium, long-lasting brushes for a wide range of uses – from art brushes to cosmetic brushes, from dental technology to nail design. At da Vinci, we consciously reject disposable products. Instead, we focus on sustainable materials, precise craftsmanship, and handmade brushes designed to last for many years with proper care. The longevity of every component – from handle to fiber – is at the heart of our work. Our customers benefit from tools that are not only of the highest quality, but also responsibly and eco-friendly produced.

We actively seek sustainable alternatives when selecting our raw materials – with the clear goal of continuously reducing environmental impact throughout our supply chain. For our brush handles, we use only FSC-certified wood from sustainable European forestry. Around 95% of our suppliers are based in EU countries. Close collaboration with European partners ensures not only transparent supply chains but also short transport distances – reducing our CO₂ footprint and enabling reliable, sustainable sourcing of materials.

As a company with a long tradition, we have carried responsibility for our region, our employees, and the art world since 1890. Since the brand registration in 1952 by the Defet family, social commitment has been firmly embedded in our corporate philosophy. Our ongoing dedication to social, cultural, and economic sustainability is reflected in many aspects of our work.

To make commuting more sustainable, we actively encourage the use of public transportation: employees who travel to work by bus or train receive a 50% reimbursement of their fare. In addition, we have introduced a company bike program that is financially supported by the firm. This initiative motivates our team to leave the car behind and choose a healthier, eco-friendly alternative.
