Sustainability at Absortech

Our commitment

We believe we are responsible for the impact we have on society, the economy, and the environment. That responsibility extends across our value chain, from extraction of raw materials to the end of use of our products, as well as waste of resources among our stakeholders. We are committed to reducing negative impact and creating value for people and the planet wherever our business has influence.

We fulfil this commitment by:

• Constantly evaluating and improving quality, environmental and sustainability performance for the AbsorRange products and related processes, and involving all our employees in the improvement process.
• Contributing to a circular economy by striving to use renewable or reused material in our products and produce them with high resource efficiency.
• Reducing the climate impact from our production sites and our products by preventing pollution of air, soil and water from our processes.
• Reducing waste and energy consumption, and managing the resulting waste in an environmental manner for all processes and AbsorRange products within their lifecycle.
• Taking social responsibility into consideration in all decisions that we make.
• Respecting the rule of law and international norms of behavior, as well as regulations applicable to our products and processes. This includes, for example, environmental regulations, no forced or child labor, good health and safety, non-discrimination, equity, integrity, civil and political rights, the right to life and liberty, equality before the law, freedom of expression and anti-corruption.
• Communicating Absortech’s quality, environmental and sustainability initiatives to suppliers, subcontractors and partners with the objective to influence them to take part in improvement for society, the economy and the environment.

Our progress (2020-2025)

2020 was the year when we escalated our ambitions within sustainability by reducing the CO₂ footprint of our container desiccants through re-engineering, lower-plastic designs, and improved sourcing. So in early 2021 we introduced a new range of desiccants with the lowest carbon footprint until now. We also introduced a circular economy program called Return-to-Reuse.

We decided to certify our Management System according to ISO 14001:2015, the international standard for environmental management systems. This certification demonstrates that we systematically manage our environmental responsibilities, set measurable environmental targets, comply with legal requirements, and continually improve our environmental performance.

At the same time, we re-worked our Code of Conduct and made it our guidelines on how to act in our day-to-day work. But the Code of Conduct are also guidelines for our partners and suppliers. But these were just the first steps.

Looking ahead: 2030 Commitments

We are working toward long-term goals that align with global climate targets. These include further reducing the CO₂ footprint of our products and operations, expanding the use of recycled materials, and transitioning to low-emission mobility solutions for our fleet.

Committed to quality and responsible business

Our quality and environmental management systems are our framework to ensure we fulfill our stakeholders’ demands, deliver products and services with quality, and constantly reduce the impact of our activities on the environment. Our Groups holds ISO 9001:2015 (Quality) and 14001:2015 (Environment) certificates.

Code of Conduct

For us, it is not only important what we do but also how we do it. Our Code of Conduct is a guideline for Absortech Group, our partners and suppliers that defines how to act and take decisions on a daily basis in an ethical and responsible way. The code reflects our core values and company culture.
