Sustainability

Our installation and processes are covered by the GHG protocol’s first two categories concerning direct and indirect emissions from our own operations, which are also the parts we have the ability to influence most. To reduce these emissions, we have concentrated on improving our factories. We are in the process of replacing our company cars with EVs. What’s more, we use only renewable electricity and we’re looking at the possibilities for sustainable heating options.The goal is for our installations to be climate neutral.

It’s important for us that our employees stay well and that each individual feels useful. Not just for us or the sake of our business, but for society as a whole. We want everyone to feel they are important links in the chain – valuable key players in the success of the business. These factors are important for our remaining enthusiastic about performing efficient, high-quality work and feeling at ease in the workplace. To further enhance a sense of well-being, we invest a great deal in leadership training and internal processes to boost team spirit.

We demand high standards and a good, safe work environment where occupational accidents and injuries are avoided. Because no one should have to risk their safety by working with us, we evaluate our facilities and processes on an ongoing basis and always try to stay one step ahead and prevent accidents, rather than have to remedy them. We offer health checks and career development counselling on a regular basis to make sure our employees also feel good mentally and socially.

Diversity is essential if the group is to remain successful. Ours is an inclusive workplace that encourages differences and strengths, where everyone is at ease and feels welcome. We endeavour to increase diversity within the company, and we treat all employees the same regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, disabilities, and political views. We also make sure everyone enjoys equal opportunities for career development, training, and remuneration, and that everyone works under equal conditions.

Haulage accounts for a large part of our total carbon dioxide emissions, and this is covered by the GHG protocol’s third category. This isn’t something we can avoid entirely, but we can work to improve our transport habits to reduce our emissions as far as possible. With one factory in Poland and another in Sweden, we deliver products from the factory that is closest to the end customer, which allows us to keep haulage routes as short as possible. Because we’re working hard to streamline deliveries to make fewer trips between factories, we’ve also set ourselves the goal of always hauling the maximum number of products, there as well as back, in order to improve our logistic

We choose our materials with care, and manufacture our products with the environment in mind. By reducing the amount of input materials, e.g. by using less steel, we can conserve natural resources. Less material also means lower weight, which equates to higher payloads. This, combined with new, smart designs that further increase load capacity without compromising on quality, means haulage requirements are greatly reduced.

While we do our best to keep carbon dioxide emissions down at the manufacturing stage, it’s just as important to concentrate on the user side and how our products can simplify and streamline our customers’ operations in ways that benefit nature. By using the right tip cylinder for each product, we reduce the amount of hydraulic oil, enable faster emptying and keep running time low – all much appreciated by our customers and the environment.

Much of our efforts for more sustainable products is in the details. By using small but effective means such as cable ties made from recyclable plastic, replacing steel tanks with aluminium and mineral oil with synthetic biodegradable oil, we can reduce our overall environmental impact even further.
