Sustainability at Nord-Lock Group

A trusted partner in driving sustainable change - for people and in business.

We recognize sustainability as a broad, multi-faceted concept, incorporating environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Our vision is for sustainable transformation to be a pillar of our long-term growth, in the same way as world-class manufacturing and expert engineering are. We build the world's most robust bolting solutions, empower a diverse global workforce, and reduce our climate impact. Our challenge is to bring all employees' knowledge, curiosity, and entrepreneurism into contributing to the transformation of our company and the market where we operate.

OUR APPROACH: AWARENESS, ACTION, OWNERSHIP

To put lasting products into the world, to be climate responsible, and to truly value our people means to see difficult challenges and capture opportunities, to respond with clear targets, and to uphold a lasting culture of sustainability. This responsibility has no finish line, and our mission is to keep pace with a world that keeps on moving.

We are also humble about the fact that there are no silver bullets – no single initiative, product, or service alone can untangle complex sustainability issues. However, as a global company with operations and employees in every corner of the world, we recognize our strong position to send off positive ripple effects with the right, mindful choices.

FOCUS AREAS

To achieve a positive, substantial sustainability impact, we prioritize focus areas closely related to our core business. Acting together with our stakeholders, taking into account their expectations on our business is key in order to succeed. Based on the UN’s global goal for Sustainable Development and our owners, Investment AB Latour, sustainability requirements, the following areas form the basis for our sustainability strategy, goals and our work:

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our operations and products
Save resources and achieving a circular business
Contribute to a safe, inclusive, and diverse work environment
Act just and fair by committing to our code of conduct and ensuring that our suppliers and customers do the same
Collaborate with our customers to improve our joint sustainability performance

Include sustainability in innovation and R&D
Foster good governance and leadership, including community involvement

Ongoing work: The Science Based Target Initiative

We have joined the Science Based Target Initiative to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to levels stipulated in the UN Paris Agreement. Based on what we learned from a meticulous collection of data, we have been able to focus our actions on reducing emissions related to our work with distributors.

Code of Conduct: Getting our Business Partners on the same page

How our customers and suppliers hold up to human rights, working conditions, and environmental protection has a significant impact on our aggregated sustainability impact. Therefore, our Code of Conduct for Business Partners, specifying the sustainability requirements for doing business with us, makes sure that our products are not used in contexts where sustainability issues get neglected and that we stay clear from sourcing unsustainable materials or services. But the conduct goes both ways – what our business partners commit to, we also commit to ourselves.
