Objective 2030: 100% Engaged People

Engaged and talented people are key in building long term sustainable businesses. 

By focusing on continuous leadership and competence development, building inclusive and productive teams and workplaces where people enjoy working and by ensuring safe and healthy working conditions, we enable long-term growth for our business. 

All driven by our exceptional people who are making the difference, every day.

To track the development towards our 2030 goal, we closely monitor the progress of our key enablers, our People Engagement Drivers:

• Engaged people
• Leadership and competence development
• Employee satisfaction
• Diversity and inclusion
• Employee well-being
• Employee safety

Most relevant Global Goal: SDG 4 – Quality education

Our employees benefit from continuous leadership and competence development, along with the well-being derived from having a stable workplace.

Objective 2030: CO2 neutral (scopes 1 and 2 GHG)

Stabilising and reducing carbon dioxide emissions is an important factor in contributing to environmental sustainability. The transition to a low-carbon society involves improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions and increasing the share of renewable energy. In 2020, Indutrade started measuring the carbon footprint at Group level, thereby establishing a base line. The objective is to reduce direct emissions and compensating the carbon emissions that we cannot avoid, by investing in projects that counterbalance these emissions.

Our journey towards climate neutrality is monitored through our key enablers: 

• Improved energy efficiency 
• Share of renewable energy 
• Reduced emissions  
• Efficient business travel (scope 3 GHG)

Most relevant Global Goal: SDG 13 – Climate action

Many of Indutrade’s companies deliver solutions and products that help customers save energy, water, materials and reduce CO2 emissions.

Objective 2030: 100% of Indutrade companies contributing to sustainable development

We sustain our companies' strong market and product positions by efficient use of resources and continuous product and process innovation. We carefully select stable and profitable businesses to acquire, limiting the business risk by focusing on long-term growth drivers and a positive contribution to society. Growth is to be achieved organically as well as through acquisitions and Indutrade strives to create sustainable value over time for all of our stakeholders.

Our enablers for profitable growth are:

• Customer satisfaction
• Resource efficiency
• Solutions improving customer operations and reducing environmental impacts
• New product offerings should use less energy and/or decrease carbon footprint 
• Assessed impact of acquired companies

Solutions and products that contribute to a safer work environment and better health are one of the areas that Group companies work within. Many of our companies do business in smaller cities and communities, which contributes to local growth and creates jobs.

Most relevant Global Goal: SDG 9 – Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Through efficient use of resources and continuous improvements, we strive to minimise the emissions and waste generated by our companies. Infrastructure is one of our largest segments, and we deliver many products and services in this area
