SUSTAINABILITY
Built for a better future
HAKI helps create safe working environments and develops solutions for construction, industry and other environments where safety and efficiency are key priorities.
We take a long-term approach to occupational health and safety, environmental impact, business ethics and social responsibility. Our work covers both our own operations and our relationships with customers, employees and suppliers.
How we work
We focus our efforts on areas where we can make a difference through our operations, products and ways of working. We strive to provide safe and healthy working conditions, contribute to environmental progress, and set an example of high ethical standards and equality within our industry.
Our sustainability work covers three areas:
- Safety
- Environment
- Responsibility
Safety
Safe and healthy working environments are a central part of our work.

This includes both the people who use our products and our own employees.
We continuously develop products and services with a focus on safety and reducing risks associated with working at height and in other work environments.
We contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals #3 and #8 through our commitment to safe and healthy working environments for customers and employees.

Through the development and optimisation of our products and working methods, we focus on areas including:
• Reducing emissions
• Recycling
• Waste management
• Resource efficiency
• Environmental requirements in procurement
Our ISO 14001 environmental management system provides a structured approach to planning, monitoring and continuously improving our environmental performance.
We also work to reduce the environmental impact of our own operations and supply chains.
We contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal #12 through our work to promote responsible production and resource use.
Responsibility
We are committed to fostering a corporate culture characterised by integrity, ethics, gender equality and respect for human rights.

We expect responsible conduct throughout our own operations and in our relationships with business partners and suppliers.
Through our internal policies and working practices, we strive to promote a responsible and equitable working environment.
We contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals #5, #10 and #16 through our work on gender equality, reduced inequalities, integrity and ethics.
Sibbhult - a sustainable hub
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our state-of-the-art production facility in Sibbhult - the small community where HAKI was founded over 60 years ago. This is where most of our products are still manufactured, and the majority of the raw materials come from Swedish SSAB. Through geographical proximity between production and the main markets, we minimise emissions, transport distances and lead times.

INVEST IN HIGH QUALITY.
83,5%
83.5% of our waste is turned into new material.
40 YRS

16,4%
16.4% of our waste becomes new energy.
2 YRS
All HAKI products have a 2-year warranty.
Carbon offsetting for the future
Every day we work to develop cutting-edge solutions designed to optimise operations and reduce our carbon footprint. As part of HAKI's sustainability efforts, we have set a target of halving our direct greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from a 2020 baseline.
Along the way, we also choose to offset the remaining emissions. By supporting carefully selected climate finance projects that meet the highest quality standards and deliver the promised climate benefits, we contribute to a reduction of greenhouse gases that compensates for the unavoidable emissions.
Requirements for our suppliers
We work solely with suppliers that comply with HAKI's code of conduct and expect them to pass these values and ethical principles on to their suppliers.
We also encourage our suppliers to introduce certifiable management systems on quality, the environment and work environment, and regularly follow up supplier performance within business ethics, social responsibility and sustainability.
A valuable co-operation
We are involved in the local communities where HAKI has operations and endeavour to employ and develop local staff.
Since 2015, HAKI in Sweden has collaborated with Samhall, a company that helps people with varying degrees of disability to find rewarding work. The collaboration has developed into a valuable partnership over the years.
It benefits the local community as it has been possible to repatriate production from other countries, thereby maintaining jobs in the Sibbhult area and offering meaningful employment for people locally who are otherwise outside the labour market.
