Handicare - ESG profile (ABG Sundal Collier)

2019-09-12 16:21
Long-term sustainability goals
Handicare conducted a sustainability survey in 2017 among its customers, dealers, owners, the Board of Directors and employees. The survey found that the primary ESG focus areas for the company are sustainable materials & chemicals, reuse & recycling and diversity and equal treatment (themes that are among the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals). Since completing the survey, Handicare has been transparent about its environmental impact by reporting energy use, emissions and waste from its largest production plants. This helps the company with its long-term goal to reduce its ecological footprint. Currently 50% of the materials used in Handicare’s products are recyclable but the company has set a target to reach 80% by 2030. By quantifying its data, it is easier for the company to run a sustainable business. Doing so also raises awareness of both environmental and financial impacts, which could positively influence the company culture.

Control of suppliers and customers
Business ethics and anti-corruption issues are key issues for Handicare. Another potential area for improvement is the working conditions among its suppliers. 52% of Handicare’s product-related suppliers signed its code of conduct in 2018. The goal for 2019 is that all product-related suppliers should undertake to comply with the supplier code of conduct. Handicare’s multi-faceted products help to reduce workplace injuries and it is important to ensure that its products are used correctly. Handicare successfully educated over 14,000 caregivers in transfer techniques in 2018. During the next five years, the company expects that it will be able to report improved working environments for caregivers.
