The Sustainability Compass

Using Sustainability Compass, an integral part of our product development and design criteria, responsibility and energy efficiency are ensured throughout the whole life cycle of products. 

The compass includes eight dimensions: raw materials, packaging, virgin material, end-of-life reusability, recyclability, in-life energy consumption, carbon footprint, and financial cost.

Each dimension is evaluated from a life cycle perspective and the goal is to have a lower impact than the previous product.
