Bruks-Siwertell
Handling is a key word in our business. Our equipment handles material transfers in ports, forests and industrial settings and facilities. We have now added this word to our sustainability ambitions as well. Through our 2030 targets and our sustainability efforts in general, we are aiming to tackle current challenges to reduce and minimize any negative impact; in other words, the future is in our hands.
This journey is not one we want to do, or can do, alone; we hope that as many of our customers, suppliers, business partners and other stakeholders as possible join us in making sure that, together, we handle the future.
Last year, 2022, was the year that we really started to formalize our sustainability journey. It has been an eventful twelve months, with global circumstances presenting both challenges and opportunities. The Group has continued to grow in sales, number of personnel, as well as in its sustainability work. We asked our CEO, Peter Jonsson, some quick questions about sustainability.
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal attempt to achieve a sustainable future and promote equality, human rights, and justice for all by 2030. The SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked goals designed to guide reflection and action on the most critical challenges, and opportunities facing humanity and the natural world.
To move from awareness to action, the UN Global Compact offers participants an extensive toolbox including platforms, hubs and resources, that help businesses take action to achieve the SDGs.
Our sustainability team was established in 2021 and is led by the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, who supports the units’ local initiatives and runs and coordinates Group-wide activities such as training, climate calculations and the mapping of significant sustainability issues. The exchange of knowledge between the participants in the sustainability team drives the Group’s entire sustainability work. Each company within Bruks Siwertell Group has formulated an individual action plan to ensure its feasibility, establishment and a sense of ownership.
Bruks siwertell group’s sustainability goals are assessed from an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) perspective, with each initiative falling into one or more of these categories.
Bruks Siwertell Group is committed to reaching its 2030 targets, and will continuously communicate to its 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 within the Group, including the relevant ESG focus areas.
Below is a selection of the cases from 2022.
