Vårt bærekraftsarbeid

In our value chain, we work together with suppliers, who share the same values, such as high standards for working conditions and the use of mate­rials without hazardous components. We prohibit modern slavery, forced labor and child labor abuse; we respect the principles of freedom of association and collective bargaining; we are committed to freedom from discrimination and harassment, as well as providing decent working conditions, rights to privacy, health and safety. Therefore, we conduct frequent human rights impact assessments, ensure that our business practices are implemented with consideration of the impacts on people and maintain responsible working conditions in the supply chain. That's why, we have been certified Ecovadis since several years. In addition, all of our sites are ASI Performance Standard certified and have achieved the Gold level for Social Fairness from Cradle to Cradle Certified. We also let our partners sign our Code of Conduct to make sure that our values are respected.

We cannot improve our impact as a company if we do not tackle our individual behaviours. By implementing sustainability trainings and webinars; by rethinking our commuting and business trips, through home offices and online working practices and by improving every detail in our workplace, from artificial light usage, to printing, recycling bins, or single-use plastics.

We are a brand of Hydro Group. The Hydro Way is our way of doing what we do; it expresses who we are and aspire to be. It has been forged and shaped through more than 100 years of continually finding new and better ways of working. And this is how we will continue to develop innovative products and solutions that benefit our customers and society, now and in the future. We are constantly evolving. But the essence of everything we do remains the same, even though the way we express it may change: The Hydro Way, our purpose and our core values.

We take responsibility to have a positive influence on the market and involve our customers in our sustainability journey. By collecting pre-consumer scrap from our customers, we are able to deliver recycled low-carbon aluminium with one of the lowest carbon footprints worldwide. To acknowledge our customers’ interest using sustainable, low-carbon products, we award them with Hydro CIRCAL awards. The award shows their contribution towards reducing CO2 emissions and therefore, their contribution to build sustainable cities.
