In 2018, Vikan established its Green Team, a group dedicated to fostering sustainability across the organization. Comprised of employees from various departments worldwide, the Green Team gathers innovative ideas, launches new initiatives, and ensures sustainability remains a core focus at Vikan. We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen the team, enabling them to identify actionable opportunities for measurable progress throughout the company.
At Vikan, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact by utilizing renewable energy sources and incorporating recycled or renewable materials wherever technically feasible. We view this commitment as integral to our responsibility toward employees and as a means of upholding high ethical business practices.
The Green Team has developed a Sustainability Roadmap to guide the company's efforts systematically. This roadmap outlines prioritized initiatives supported by performance indicators and a professional reporting framework. Through this structure, we can prioritize actions based on their significance, potential impact, and feasibility.
To ensure structured progress, we have identified five key focus areas:
- **Renewable Materials**: Transitioning to sustainable alternatives wherever possible.
- **Energy Efficiency**: Reducing our carbon footprint by optimizing energy usage.
- **Waste Reduction**: Implementing strategies to minimize waste generation.
- **Employee Engagement**: Encouraging participation and awareness about sustainability within the workforce.
- **Community Impact**: Supporting local environmental projects and initiatives.
Each focus area is designed to drive tangible improvements while aligning with our long-term sustainability goals.
Vikan values transparency and measurable outcomes, which is why we publish an annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The latest report covers the progress achieved in 2022. Notable highlights include:
- Over 90% of our injection-molded products within the Classic Range (where feasible) were manufactured using regenerated plastic.
- Our Virtual Site Survey, which minimizes sales-related travel, received the Society of Food Hygiene and Technology’s (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 CO2 emissions, guiding future initiatives.
