What is sustainability to Eleiko?

Sustainability is to act in ways that meet the needs of current generations, without compromising the needs of future generations. We believe this involves balancing economic growth, environmental care, and social well-being. A sustainable company takes responsibility for its impact and is transparent about its operations and actions. A sustainable product is one that designed for durability, longevity, and circularity, so that it can be passed down to future generations.

Committed to UN Global Compact

Eleiko is a part of the United Nations Global Compact initiative — a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. Sustainability and responsible operations are fundamental to our vision of building a stronger world.

The UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 10,000 companies in over 160 countries.

Developing the future of strength

Our goal is to provide safe, durable, and top-performing products tailored to the user’s needs. We achieve this by carefully managing both materials and design to reduce the environmental footprint of our products. The design phase plays a significant role in determining a product’s carbon footprint, making it a critical stage for making positive changes. We prioritize creating products that maintain their quality over many years, considering how they age while preserving their appearance and performance for the long term.

We adhere to a simple and enduring design style, where each element serves a specific purpose, and we enhance durability by designing products for easy disassembly and replacing worn-out parts. The Eleiko Prestera Strength System exemplifies this approach, as we have eliminated anything unnecessary that doesn’t contribute to functionality, quality, or user satisfaction. We prioritize subtraction over addition, focusing on reducing to the most essential components.
