Sustainability

SIAS Contract focuses on sustainable development. This is a natural part of our business and an important part of everything we can offer. We collaborate and constantly innovate for a sustainable future. We have clear goals and ambitions for our own operations in terms of sustainable business development, efficiency in the value chain, good working conditions and business ethics.

01

Sustainable business

Sustainable business development means that SIAS Contract, through its concept and product portfolio, can contribute to a more sustainable business environment through energy and cost savings in its products and systems, as well as by continuing to develop more sustainable interior design solutions for the future.

Decisions we make every day affect the environment and the people we meet. We do not believe that you stand strong alone, but that together we have the opportunity to influence. We contribute to a more sustainable business environment by using energy and cost-saving systems and by developing sustainable interior design solutions for the future. The products we deliver must take the greatest possible consideration of the environment during the product's life phases.

Together with our customers, we will develop products that reflect their and our values. Together with our suppliers, we challenge and focus on sustainable production and materials. We conduct an open and transparent dialogue with continuous work to achieve improvements with ourselves and our subcontractors.

Our focus on sustainability positively affects both people and the environment and is therefore an important factor in ensuring long-term success.

02

Efficiency in operations

SIAS Contract shall contribute to increased efficiency for the entire value chain through responsible choices of suppliers, raw materials, production processes and transport. For many years, the group's companies have taken an environmental and social responsibility and we strive to achieve long-term sustainable operations.

Requirements for sustainability in suppliers

Ensuring sustainability throughout the entire value chain is important to SIAS Contract. We work actively with our partners and demand that their operations meet the same requirements for sustainability that we strive for ourselves.

Energy efficient production

For a manufacturer like SIAS Contract, it is important to both reduce energy consumption in general and to increase the proportion of renewable energy. Active work is carried out in these areas; both from an environmental perspective and with regard to cost efficiency. The group's production facilities have been updated with modern systems to reduce energy consumption and increase the efficiency of the resources used.

Transport

A significant part of SIAS Contract's indirect emissions comes from transport to and from the production facilities. We work actively to reduce emissions while ensuring efficient transport. SIAS Contract's local presence and proximity to the production facilities reduce freight transport and costs for our customers. We take advantage of the opportunity to buy and produce locally and thus minimize our footprint.

03

Through SIAS Contract's guidelines, all employees have a clear set of rules for business ethics. Ethical guidelines are also communicated to the group's suppliers in the form of a group-wide supplier policy.

According to the code of conduct, SIAS Contract has zero tolerance towards all forms of bribery and corruption.
