Our responsibility doesn’t end with production
We believe that industrial production can be gentle on both the planet and people. Every step we take aims at reducing our carbon footprint, increasing efficiency, and building a sustainable future.
Sustainability is not a trend
It's a commitment
At Gumárny Zubří, we see ESG as a natural part of how we operate.
It’s not about marketing — it’s about everyday decisions that make a difference: for the planet, for people, and for the environment we work in. We focus on ensuring that both our production and company culture have a positive impact — on the planet, on people, and on the communities we’re part of.
We give waste a second life and energy a new face
TPE Car Mat Return & Recycling Program
For those who care about the environment and want to be part of something bigger — and better!
Every TPE car mat we produce is made from materials suitable for 100% recycling.
Green TPE Token
Our every mat is equipped with Green TPE Token. It simply lets you know that this is a product that is fully recyclable and ready to be returned to our recycling system.
Consumer Tag
Each set of TPE car mats comes with information for end consumers and users on how to dispose of this recyclable set at the end of its life. We strive to reclaim all of our car mats to minimize waste generation in the world.
The more we buy, the higher the value of TPE gains
The more TPE material we manage to buy back and return to circulation, the higher its market value grows.
The demand for recycled TPE shows that a responsible approach to production brings not only environmental but also economic benefits.

Company carbon footprint
We continuously monitor and evaluate our carbon footprint — both at the company level and for individual products.
This data helps us make strategic decisions that lead to lower emissions, more efficient production, and empower our customers to achieve their own ambitious environmental goals.
We measure our carbon footprint according to the GHG Protocol methodology — the international standard for tracking and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.
We focus on all three scopes — Scope 1 (direct emissions from our operations), Scope 2 (emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (emissions from our supply chain and end product use).
Below is an overview of results confirming our long-term positive trend — from 2021 to 2024, we have been steadily reducing our carbon footprint.
Overall, we have reduced the company’s carbon footprint by 16% between 2021 and 2024.
2021
The results of our first carbon footprint assessment are guiding our investments toward greater sustainability.
2022
A reduction of 10% or more in the company’s carbon footprint across all scopes.
2023
We’ve started utilizing waste heat from our operations, achieving savings of 87,122 m³ of natural gas.

We’re modernizing our technology and installing solar panels — bringing us one step closer to decarbonization.
In 2024, we produced 2,455 t CO₂e less than in 2021.
We focus on factors that strengthen our competitiveness and sustainability
