Sustainability strategy

Apart from assuming responsibility and creating value for wider society, as well as protecting future generations, sustainability work also brings greater competitive advantages to Ependion. Well-executed, integrated sustainability work also contributes to better administration and good control of the Group’s products and services. This results in more satisfied customers, committed co-workers and increased profitability. Our sustainability work is based on documentation including a Code of Conduct, which is approved each year by the Board of Directors. It states guidelines on business ethics, the environment, human rights and data transparency.

Ependion takes preventative measures to protect people and the environment wherever possible. Through regulations like REACH or RoHS, Ependion ensures that no product contains prohibited or hazardous compounds.
