Our responsibility and contribution to a more sustainable world
"Credibility and transparency are fundamental pillars of our philosophy and our goal is for the products we manufacture to be a sustainable choice. Sustainability is the core of everything we do, from design and material selection to production and delivery to the customer. We take great pride in producing in our own factory and continuously strive to expand our in-house production."
Our philosophy is to be the most sustainable within our genre. We work towards four overarching sustainability goals that were developed in collaboration with Almi. Our main goals are based on both Agenda 2030 and ISO 26000. Our overarching goals, directly linked to our production and value chain, are connected to the 17 global goals and the 169 targets for sustainable development outlined in Agenda 2030.
Climate calculations
We believe that a crucial parameter for implement real change is knowing the climate impact of our company. Since 2021, Sätila has been conducting climate calculations to assess our operations. Our ambition is to include as much as possible within Scopes 1, 2, and 3 of upstream activities for our business. We involve partners and suppliers so that everyone can contribute to reducing climate impact. Our goals are aligned with the Paris Agreement, aiming to halve our carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.
Our priority areas for future impact include:
- Implementing energy-saving measures in our factory.
- Reducing our transportation emissions.
- Choosing materials with minimal impact and long lifespan.
Climate calculations are a comprehensive and ongoing work that affects the entire business. Our belief is that with ambitious goals, we can go far. Until we reach those goals, we have chosen to climate compensate for all our transportation through ZeroMission and the selected project CommuniTree Carbon Program in Nicaragua, which reduces emissions by planting trees.
ZeroMission describes the project as one of their most innovative forestry projects, working to prevent deforestation by providing incentives for local farmers to preserve trees and plant beneficial crops that generate ongoing income. The trees play a crucial role in protecting against extreme weather by retaining water, preventing landslides and providing shade for animals, crops and the over 1000 families living in the area. Learn more about the project on ZeroMission's website.
