Sustainability at Sjolund

At Sjolund, sustainability is more than a commitment — it’s an integral part of how we operate as a modern, responsible business. From our daily operations to long-term strategic goals, we continuously seek ways to reduce our environmental impact, support our employees, and contribute positively to society.

Our dedication to sustainability is reflected in our ISO 14001 certification for environmental management, ensuring that we proactively minimise our footprint, and ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety, emphasising our commitment to a safe and healthy workplace. Additionally, we actively track and improve our ESG performance through the EcoVadis sustainability rating, where we have achieved a Silver Medal — a strong recognition that we are proud to having obtained.

United Nations sustainable development goals

As we move forward, we remain committed to strengthening our sustainability strategy, integrating responsible practices across our supply chain, and continuously improving our environmental and social impact. To align our efforts with global sustainability standards, we actively support The United Nations sustainable development goals, with a main focus on the following three goals:

#4 Quality education

At Sjolund, we believe that investing in education is essential for a sustainable future. Through our apprenticeship programme, we provide hands-on training and career opportunities for the next generation of skilled workers, ensuring that essential industry knowledge is passed on. We also prioritise continuous learning and development for our employees, offering training initiatives that empower them to enhance their skills and grow within the company.

Beyond our internal efforts, we actively collaborate with local educational institutions, contributing to the education and training of young talents in the metalworking industry. By fostering knowledge-sharing and skill development, we help build a stronger, more resilient workforce for the future.

#8 Decent work and economic growth

A safe, healthy, and efficient working environment is at the core of our sustainability approach. Our production processes are designed to reduce physical strain on employees while improving efficiency and productivity. By integrating automation into repetitive and labour-intensive tasks, we enhance workplace safety and create a more sustainable working environment.

Furthermore, we continuously invest in training and development - not only for our apprentices but for all employees - ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary skills to thrive in an evolving industry. Our commitment to sustainable work practices fosters long-term employment opportunities and supports economic growth within the sector of metal manufacturing.

#12 Responsible consumption and production

At Sjolund, we take responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of our operations. We focus on:

  • Minimising energy consumption in our production processes
  • Selecting sustainable materials that maximise efficiency and durability
  • Reducing waste and improving recycling efforts to contribute to a circular economy

By integrating sustainability into every step of our design and manufacturing processes, we ensure that our solutions not only meet the highest quality standards but also align with global efforts to conserve resources and protect the planet.

Looking ahead

Sustainability is a journey, and at Sjolund, we are continuously working to improve. By aligning with internationally recognised standards and integrating sustainable practices into our operations, we aim to create long-lasting value for our customers, employees, and the environment.

Strengthening our ESG commitments

As part of our ongoing sustainability efforts, we are actively working towards a more structured approach to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting. While our formal ESG report is still in development, we are committed to transparency and continuous improvement.

Our current initiatives — such as reducing our environmental footprint, prioritising employee well-being, and maintaining ethical business practices — lay the foundation for a structured ESG strategy. By aligning with industry best practices and frameworks, we aim to provide greater insight into our sustainability performance in the near future.
