We all want to keep playing and puzzling. So, step by step, we’re changing our products and the way we make them so that we ask less of the planet.
Making play more sustainable.
Playing smarter!
Our plan is built around the following goals, the 5P’s:
1. PRODUCT
Our core business is all about making fun products to share playful moments. To make sure the next generation can also keep enjoying this, we need to change our products and packaging by using resources more sustainably.
2. PLANET
We’ve looked at how we take our products from an idea, through design, manufacturing and distribution to the point of sale. At how we can shorten the entire supply chain to reduce our footprint.
3. PEOPLE
Coming to work should be fun too, a safe place where everyone is treated fairly, with dignity and respect. From our creative teams to the hard-working folks who put it all together, we want to ensure everyone enjoys good working conditions.
4. PLAY
Our vision of sustainability is one that is inclusive and takes in all of these people, starting with our youngest players who will one day build better tomorrows. We believe in the power of play and in promoting learning through play.
5. PARTNERSHIPS
Born out of different companies, we’ve always believed that together we can achieve more. By collaborating with fellow experts, working with like-minded organisations. By supporting each other, we can make things happen. We can strengthen through partnerships.
Our impact
Power of Play
Education is key to sustainable development. Learning through play is at the heart of what we do.
Sustainability is just another topic children should learn about and take on board. We offer a portfolio with environment-themed products as diverse as recycling, animals, the weather and many others.
Goodbye to shrink-wrap
Where possible we replace the shrink-wrap with a simple, small sticker to seal our game boxes. That means less unnecessary plastic heading for landfill.
More sustainable puzzles
We’re changing the way our puzzles are made. No more plastic shrink-wrap or bags, but new ways to secure the lid and what’s inside.
A paper bag to hold the puzzle pieces instead of a plastic bag
A small sticker to keep the box closed in place of shrink-wrap
100% recycled carboard
FSC® certified paper

Forest Stewardship Council
We have FSC® certification in place for several of our products to prove that we work with well managed forests.
Certification
We continuously collaborate with our partners to create a safe and ethical working environment by monitoring this via independent third-party certifications and our Code of Conduct.
Box clever
Wherever we can, we make the box part of the fun – not something you discard to one side and ignore.
Going local
The vast majority of our puzzles and educational games are produced locally, around Europe.
100% recycled cardboard
All our products made in Spain and the Netherlands are manufactured using 100% recycled cardboard.
Made in EU
Almost all of our products made in Spain come from a social cooperative in Barcelona. They manufacture many of our most successful brands, including Party & Co, Electro/Lectron and Goula.
Sustainable inks
On all products manufactured in Spain we’re using vegetable-based inks.
Games produced in the Netherlands use biodegradable ink and varnishes.
