For a sustainable tomorrow
Sustainability work is not only a high priority for us – it runs through everything we do. It's about social, environmental and economic responsibility. Read more about it here.
We take responsibility
Working with sustainability at the core is important to secure the future. Not only for our business, but also for society, the planet and for future generations.
A sustainable society
Together with our customers and partners, we create solutions to achieve a more sustainable society. Our products and services contribute to the ongoing climate and energy transition. A long-term perspective and sustainability are important guiding principles for us in our business, deliveries and relationships.
A sustainable Holtab
Our values and business concept form the basis of our sustainability work. We see sustainability as a key factor in building a successful company now and in the future. For example, we work to be an attractive and equal workplace where our employees thrive and develop.
Our focus areas
Holtab’s sustainability work is clearly linked to the three dimensions of sustainability – environmental, social and economic sustainability, as well as the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2030. These are our prioritised focus areas:
We strive to operate with as little environmental impact as possible and challenge ourselves to continuously improve. Our long-term climate goal is to become carbon neutral. By 2025, our ambition is to be a net electricity provider, i.e. produce at least as much electricity as we dispose of.
Long-term goal
We shall be carbon neutral by 2040.
Short-term goals
We shall be a net electricity provider.
Circularity.
Reduce climate impact per delivery/order.
One of the focus areas in our sustainability work concerns employees and their well-being. We simply want to be the best workplace in the industry. Inclusion, competence and leadership are key words for increasing well-being in the company.
Long-term goal
Inclusion, competence and leadership.
Short-term goals
Temperature 10% above comparable industry.
Our employees are the foundation of our business. It is our highest priority to ensure that everyone who works at Holtab has a healthy and safe working environment. This is also a prerequisite for retaining and attracting qualified staff. That’s why we invest in personal safety and work towards a vision zero for accidents.
Long-term goal
Vision zero for accidents – safe behaviours.
Short-term goals
Vision zero for accidents with sick leave (internal).
Vision zero for personal safety hazard (external).
At Holtab, we are convinced that our innovative strength, competence and customer focus are reinforced by diversity and equality. Over the next few years, we have chosen to focus heavily on increasing the proportion of women in the Group. By 2040, the proportion of women at Holtab shall be 40%.
Long-term goal
An equal Holtab by 2040 (at least 40% women).
Short-term goals
21% women at all levels of the company.
Our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals
The SDGs are our common plan for creating a better and more sustainable world for all. We have chosen to put extra effort into the goals where we have the greatest chance to make a difference.
Gender equality is a prerequisite for sustainable and peaceful development. Sweden is one of the world’s most equal societies, but even here there are challenges.
Access to sustainable, reliable and renewable energy and clean fuels is a prerequisite for being able to meet many of the challenges facing the world.
Creating good conditions for innovation and entrepreneurship promotes sustainable economic growth that includes society as a whole.
This goal is about building a resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and promoting innovation. A functioning and stable infrastructure is the foundation for all successful societies.
This goal is about ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. Our planet has provided us with an abundance of natural resources, but we humans have not used them responsibly.
