Responsibility

At Det Gamle Apotek, we are committed to ensuring proper conditions and that our products meet current requirements and standards.

We work continuously to ensure high quality in both our processes and the materials we use. We are on a continuous journey, constantly striving to develop and improve our products. We do this by continuously evaluating our work, being open to new ideas, and
focusing on responsible production. This allows us to continue offering
products that both we and our customers can trust.

Below you can get an insight into the certifications we work with and what they mean.

Responsible use of AI

At Det Gamle Apotek, we use AI tools to supplement our work on the visual presentation of products. When AI has been used, it will be marked with an AI icon in the lower right corner. We do this to be transparent about how the content was created.

Images marked with “AI” indicate that AI was either used to assist with image processing - for example, by removing backgrounds or adjusting lighting and colors - or was used to create backgrounds and atmospheric settings. We also use AI to create short video clips that demonstrate the product’s features or uses. The product is always depicted as accurately as possible.

AI is a tool. It is not a replacement for our employees. All AI-generated images and videos are reviewed and quality-checked by our team. Our goal is always to present our products honestly, inspiringly, and with the greatest possible transparency.

FSC

FSC-certified
products come from sustainably managed forests. The certification sets
requirements for forest management, traceability in the supply chain, and
consideration for environmental and social conditions, among other things. The
FSC label can therefore be used as documentation that wood and paper products
come from FSC-certified sources.

EUDR

EUDR stands for EU Deforestation-Free Regulation and requires companies to document that a number of products traded in the EU do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation. This is done, among other things, by mapping supply chains so that it can be documented where, for example, wood comes from and that it has been produced legally.

Our company expects to be covered by the scheme from June 30, 2027, and we are currently preparing for the requirements.
