Together for a better future

For us, sustainability is about so much more than reducing our carbon footprint. It is just as important that we as a company contribute to a better society at large and that people can feel safe and well. For us, CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility, is an important part of sustainable business – where we take responsibility in all areas and do what we can to create improvements that make a real difference.

And that’s what we do at Proton Group. Making a difference. We are proud of our business and of being a group that looks at the big picture in everything we do. Together with our companies and our employees, we contribute to a better future – where we and future generations can feel good and continue to develop.

High standards for ourselves and our suppliers

We set high standards for ourselves and take it for granted that both our environmental work and our social responsibility are in place. It is a requirement we not only have on ourselves, we also assume that our suppliers and partners have the same. If you want to supply to Proton Group, you need to work actively with sustainability and are expected to work towards reducing your climate footprint, take your social responsibility and offer good working conditions and fair values.

Together for a better society

We constantly strive to find new ways to make a positive impact on the world around us and create improvements step by step. It could be the way we get to and from work, how we optimise energy efficiency or how we approach community engagement. All are important, but we are particularly proud of the last one, where we choose to support children and youth organisations. If we are to create a better future for people, we need to focus on those who will grow up and pass on the baton. They deserve to grow up in a safe society and on a healthy planet for a long time to come.

Proton Group is working for a better future – for society, the environment and people.

Sustainability strategy

Proton Group recognises sustainable business as a social, ethical, environmental and economic responsibility. In all our operations we are committed to living our core values of being proactive, working as a team, challenging ourselves and collaborating.

Human being

Employees

We want to contribute to safe and secure working environments that allow our employees to develop. We want to make it possible for people from different backgrounds to find work with favourable conditions. Through our products and services, we also contribute to increased safety for our customers’ employees.

Society

We want to contribute to a local community where children and young people have meaningful leisure time and where we can help young people get education, training and jobs. This is why we participate in various activities with schools and associations. We also want to ensure a good working environment and environmental considerations in our value chains, including supplier and customer chains.

Economy

Development

We want to contribute to inclusive industrialisation and promote sustainable innovations. By developing sustainable solutions, we can add value to our customers’ sustainability efforts. With our own innovative development projects, we can also ensure that our own operations become more circular.

Growth

We want to contribute to sustainable growth where we can continue to invest in new technologies, develop new products and services, and develop the skills of our people through profitable operations.

Environment

Climate impact

We want to contribute to the Paris Agreement goals by reducing our carbon footprint. As a first step, we are carrying out climate assessments for the different parts of our operations. We will then set out a plan to reach our goal of being climate neutral by 2045.

Local footprint

We want to contribute to a better use of resources by reducing our material consumption and preventing, reducing, reusing and recycling our waste. We also work on the responsible management of chemicals to minimise negative impacts on human health and the environment.
