In 2018, Vikan's Green Team came into existence, bringing together employees from various departments and locations worldwide. This team serves as a hub for brainstorming innovative ideas, implementing eco-friendly initiatives, and ensuring sustainability remains a core priority at Vikan. Comprising members from different parts of the organization, the Green Team benefits greatly from diverse perspectives, enabling them to identify actionable opportunities across the entire company.
At Vikan, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact by utilizing renewable energy sources and exploring the use of recycled and renewable materials wherever technically possible. We believe that this approach aligns with our responsibility towards our employees and reinforces our commitment to upholding high ethical standards in our operations.
The Green Team has developed a comprehensive Sustainability Roadmap to guide the company's efforts in embracing environmentally friendly practices systematically. This roadmap outlines key initiatives, supported by measurable performance indicators and a robust reporting framework. By prioritizing initiatives based on their significance, potential impact, and feasibility, we aim to make tangible progress in each area.
To achieve this, we've established five focus areas to address in a structured manner:
- **Renewable Materials:** Transitioning to more sustainable raw materials.
- **Energy Efficiency:** Improving operational efficiency through better energy management.
- **Waste Reduction:** Minimizing waste production and increasing recycling efforts.
- **Employee Engagement:** Encouraging participation and awareness among employees.
- **Supply Chain Optimization:** Ensuring sustainability throughout our supply chain.
Each initiative is tracked and reported upon regularly to ensure transparency and accountability.
Every year, Vikan publishes an Annual CSR Report to provide insight into our sustainability journey. Our latest report, covering 2022, highlights several significant achievements:
- Over 90% of injection-molded products in our Classic Range (where feasible) were manufactured using regenerated plastic.
- The introduction of Vikan's Virtual Site Survey, which has drastically reduced sales-related travel, earned the prestigious Society of Food Hygiene and Technology (SOFHT) award for Best New Product/Service in 2022.
- A comprehensive mapping of greenhouse gas emissions from our Skive facility provided valuable insights into our carbon footprint, guiding future sustainability efforts.
For a detailed look at these accomplishments and more, you can access the full 2022 Annual CSR Report on our website.

Moving forward, Vikan continues to embrace challenges and opportunities in sustainability. One notable example is highlighted in a recent blog post titled "Building a Sustainable Business," authored by Carsten Bo Pedersen, Managing Director. In this piece, Pedersen discusses the complexities of transitioning to greener practices in industries reliant on virgin plastics. Despite these challenges, Vikan remains dedicated to finding innovative solutions to reduce its environmental footprint.
Our blog also features other engaging content such as "6 Food Retail Questions Answered by Hygiene Experts," where Amit M. Kheradia, former Environmental Health and Sanitation Manager at Vikan North America, addresses common concerns from the food retail sector. Additionally, Whitney Lee, Inbound Marketing Specialist, shares insights on Amit M. Kheradia's recent achievement of earning a prestigious NEHA sanitation certification.
