Sustainability initiatives

At Bruks Siwertell, we are committed to reaching our 2030 targets, and will continuously communicate to our stakeholders how these targets will be met and what is achieved. This will be done through the publication of sustainability cases that detail different initiatives taken within the Group, including the relevant ESG focus areas.

Each case below is marked with Environmental, Social, or Governance, to indicate that the initiative contributes towards a focus area within that aspect.

Environmental aspect - Initiatives connected to our impact on the environment, including carbon emissions, resource usage, waste management, and approach to climate change.

Social aspect - Initiatives connected to our impact on society, including labor practices, treatment of employees, community relations, diversity and inclusion policies, and product safety.

Governance aspect - Initiatives connected to our internal governance structure, board composition, executive compensation, shareholder rights, and transparency.
