WHY IS SUSTAINABILITY WORK IMPORTANT TO YOU?

In the long-term, sustainability work is absolutely crucial. We need to make a change so that we humans can continue to live off the earth’s resources. If we deplete the resources, in the long run we will not be able to exist ourselves.

HOW DO YOU WORK WITH SUSTAINABILITY AT YOUR FACILITIES TODAY?

We have set clear goals for both the whole organisation and our employees. How can I contribute to sustainable business? This is a question we want all our employees to take on board and act accordingly. It is important that every employee feels that it is possible to make a difference even in their daily work.

WHAT IS YOUR FOCUS IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY DURING 2022?

There are essentially two parts. Firstly, to reduce our own emissions from those parts of our business that are linked to our operations, and secondly, to help our customers make more environmentally sustainable product choices.

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR YOU TO WORK WITH SUPPLIERS WHO HAVE SUSTAINABILITY AS THEIR MAIN FOCUS?

This is very important and we set high standards for our suppliers to actively work with sustainability. We can’t sell products that come from suppliers who don’t have their value chain under control. That is, suppliers who do not actively work to reduce their emissions and who do not have a sustainability aspect in the development of products. We want to help our customers choose the right products, so sustainability data from our suppliers is also important to us.
