Senior technology is not about replacing human resources with technology and automation. Senior technology is primarily about including seniors in the digital world, enabling them to have active and independent lives – both at home and when out and about, while also creating safety and peace of mind for seniors and their relatives alike.

Secondly, senior technology is also about more efficient usage of the resources we have through our seniors. Many seniors are highly competent and very willing to continue sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience. That their knowledge is being used and put into practice does not only benefit them personally by keeping them mentally active and healthy, but also benefits society as a whole.

Doro works in various ways to minimise climate impact e.g. through environmental improvement of the car fleet and eco-driver training.
Doro also promotes remote and home working in order to further decrease commuting.

Energy consumption within our office premises is measured annually and we strive to reduce the environmental impact through optimum use of the space and the use of fossil-free energy.

Doro endeavours to keep transportation costs, and the environmental impact from doing this, as low as possible.

User analysis and field tests are performed with seniors when developing our new products.
Doro's product development is quality certified according to ISO 9001 and has clear processes for products and services to meet customer requirements, as well as to comply with international and local regulation. Important areas which are addressed are materials used, how waste management and recycling requirements are fulfilled and how products are designed to make them safer and more user-friendly.

Life cycle assessment shows that prolonging the product lifetime is the best thing we can do for the environment. Doro therefore always promotes designs with a long lifetime for its products.

Consequently, the majority of Doro products have replaceable batteries, which prolongs the product life and simplifies repair and recycling.

In addition, we know that 70% of Doro feature phones and 30% of smartphones are used for more than 3 years.

As of 2021, repairability is now considered earlier in the product development process. A good example of this is the new smartphone range which has an "easy to open" design to improve repairability whereas the previous smartphone versions were glued and therefore difficult to open for  repairs.

Doro must be an attractive and stimulating workplace for the many occupational groups represented in the company.
