At Mimosi, energy efficiency, efficient use of resources and lower environmental impact are part of how we source products. When we look for products that fit a project, we consider their technical specifications, energy performance and the environmental documents the manufacturer can provide.
Energy-efficient building materials
We support the supply of products that help buildings use less energy and cost less to run. These include low-emissivity (low-E) insulating glass units, thermal insulation boards, thermally insulated window and door systems, and energy-efficient heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC) equipment.
When selecting products, we look at the intended use, technical performance, site conditions and long-term efficiency.
Product documents and environmental standards
To assess a product's technical properties and environmental performance, documents suited to the product group and the applicable regulations can be requested from the manufacturer.
- EPD (Environmental Product Declaration): Gives verified information on a product's environmental impact across its life cycle. For construction products, EN 15804 can serve as the basis.
- ISO 14001: The standard for an organisation's environmental management system; on its own, it does not show that a particular product is environmentally superior.
- CE marking and Declaration of Performance (DoP): For construction products where EU legislation requires them, these documents help assess conformity and declared performance.
In our quotations and supply process, we aim to state clearly which manufacturer documents and technical files are available.
EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) aims to monitor the embedded emissions of certain imported goods and to ensure the related obligations are met. The definitive period began on 1 January 2026.
The mechanism covers specific product groups such as iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen. Obligations may vary with the product's classification, the importer and the rules in force.
For products in scope, we help obtain the required emissions data and technical documents from the manufacturer. Before import, the product's CBAM status, current exemption conditions and the importer's obligations should be confirmed separately.
Resource efficiency in logistics
In supply and shipping, we consider practical options that reduce environmental impact:
- Consolidated shipments: We combine suitable orders so that transport capacity is used more efficiently.
- Alternative transport modes: Where delivery time, cost and the nature of the goods allow, we consider sea or rail freight.
- Packaging: Where suitable, we prefer recyclable solutions that use less packaging material.
Information and regulatory sources
EU regulations, product standards and certification requirements change over time. It is important to check the current requirements before ordering and shipping.
