Sustainability
The sustainability policy runs through our entire organisation and is characterised in our daily operations by social sustainability, economic sustainability and ecological sustainability. We care for our employees as well as society and comply with laws and all other regulations that apply to our business. We do this through active initiatives related to quality, environmental issues, working environment and safety.
Our focus areas
- Within quality and safety: to meet internal and external customers’ expectations through continuous improvements.
- Within environment: minimise our impact through low resource consumption and by complying with laws, customer requirements and certificate guidelines.
- Within working environment: zero vision for occupational injuries and an beeing a Great Place to Work for our employees.
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
“For me, sustainability is to find smarter ways to house hold with the available resources. This is done by innovation of products and processes, taking ownership and action of our own responsability and finally to collaborate with others to make a tangable impact."
