Sustainability as a core corporate value at Paulmann

Our factory second goods include products that have been rejected due to minor cosmetic flaws in the packaging but are technically flawless. By giving these items a second chance and offering them at an attractive discount price, we are actively promoting the circular economy and supporting sustainable consumption. 

This approach is in line with our environmental policy and our corporate values: sustainability is firmly anchored in Paulmann's DNA. Whether through the use of green electricity, the resource-saving use of energy, water, materials and space, the continuous improvement of our sales packaging and shipping process, or now through the marketing of our B-grade goods – we are making our contribution to environmental protection more effective step by step.

In this way, we create added value together – for our customers and for the environment.
