Sekab’s operation affects people and the environment throughout the value chain, from the choice of raw materials and production to distribution and end use. We run the business responsibly and with a long-term approach. In dialogue with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders, we focus on issues and areas in which we can have an impact and where our sustainability work contributes to making a difference.
Sekab´s sustainability initiatives are described within these four focus areas:
Through our expertise and type of operation, we have the opportunity to contribute to seven of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): numbers 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Within our focus areas for the business, we actively work to steer toward the relevant Sustainable Development Goals for each area. Also note the SDG labels in the rest of this report.

Attracting, recruiting, retaining and developing the skills of our co-workers are all important success factors for Sekab. Together, we want to build a company that is characterised by a safe working environment, good skills development opportunities and gender equality and diversity, as well as good leadership and employeeship. We work actively to ensure that all our co-workers are satisfied, develop their skills and feel motivated to go to work.
We work actively to ensure a sustainable value chain, from supplier to customer, in which risks are managed and irregularities are prevented. Zero tolerance applies to bribery, corruption and other anti-competitive activities. Good business ethics and transparency permeate everything we do and through clarity in our commitments and requirements towards our suppliers, we ensure that we carry out responsible business activities.
Our environmental work is integrated throughout our operations. We are certified according to ISO 14001 and parts of our production are certified according to the ISCC sustainability system. In this way, we have control over the development of our environmental work.
The world’s population is growing, but its assets are not growing to match this – instead they are decreasing. That’s why we do what we do; we provide industry and the society with long-term sustainable chemical products and biofuels. The result of our work has a direct impact on our future and in one way or another we are all affected.
