A Stronger World
We aim to have a positive impact by reducing our environmental footprint and helping build stronger people and communities.
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.
Building A Stronger World
At Eleiko, we are committed to building A Stronger World through sustainable practices that minimize negative impacts on the environment, society, and economy. Our sustainability policy aims to create shared value, promote a sustainable future, and positively impact all stakeholders, including suppliers, employees, customers, and end-users. With the ambition to take leadership of sustainability in our industry, we take accountability for our environmental impact and carbon footprint, and actively contribute to realizing The Generational Goal established by the Swedish government to leave a healthier environment for the next generation.
What we prioritize
We believe that a sustainable future requires strong individuals and Eleiko has a duty to create a better world for future generations. We achieve this through developing durable products and striving towards significant goals, all in line with our mission of building a stronger world.
Our strategy and objectives aim to support the achievement of the following targets outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
Target 3-4
Reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases and promote mental health.
Target 12-2
Sustainable management and use of natural resources.
Target 13-2
Integrate climate change measures into policies and planning.
Sustainability Strategy
By evaluating company risks and opportunities, and stakeholder interest, Eleiko identified six material topics:
- Innovation, Quality, and Safety
- Climate Impact
- Transparency and Circular Economy
- Human Rights and Anti-Corruption
- Community Engagement
- Employees and Working Conditions
The material issues are covered in our sustainability strategy:
Developing The Future Of Strength
Developing products that are sustainably designed for best-in-class performance and durability.
Raising The Bar
Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
Community Engagement
Securing and maintaining strong communities.
A Culture Of Kindness
Remaining an attractive employer with safe and healthy working conditions.
Developing the future of strength
We aim to offer safe, long-lasting, and high-performing products designed for the user by working with both material and design to minimize the environmental impact of our products. The majority of a product’s carbon footprint is determined in the design phase, so this is where we can make a difference. We design products that retain their quality for several decades and we must therefore consider the ageing of the product — we want them to age while maintaining their appearance and long-lasting performance.
The Eleiko Prestera line is an excellent example of this where we have removed everything that doesn't add to the function, quality, or user experience. We do not add for the sake of adding. Instead, we reduce for the sake of reducing.
