Sustainability

Sustainability is an integral part of HAKI’s strategy for long-term growth. It is focused on 3 main commitments: being a front runner in safety, an environmental partner and a responsible company.

Our mission: 
“At HAKI, sustainability is an integrated part of our business. We are focusing our efforts in the areas where we are operating and where we believe we can have an impact. We strive to provide safe and healthy working conditions, play a role in environmental progress and be a role model for high ethics and equality, within our industry.”

Aligning 7 of the United Nations General Assembly Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with our 3 sustainability commitments, we demonstrate where we are concentrating our efforts. Select a goal below to see more about what we are doing each area.

Front runner in safety

• SDG 3: Good health and wellbeing

  HAKI provides both physical and mental healthcare initiatives for all employees and promotes a non-smoking environment at offices and depots. HSE reviews, at all HAKI locations, also enforce workplace health, safety and welfare, and prevent occupational risks for workers.

  To protect the health and wellbeing of external stakeholders, HAKI continuously innovates new, safer products, and delivers training and onsite support for installers and operatives for safe application on projects.

• SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth

  HAKI is a member of and is audited by industry-leading trade bodies; adhering guidance for safe working practices. In addition, several HAKI employees have been welcomed on to scaffolding committees and boards of trade bodies to discuss and advise on cultural issues, in efforts to guide the overall industry and support economic growth.

An environmental partner

• SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production and SDG 13: Climate action

  HAKI plays a role in the industry’s environmental progress by minimizing environmental impact. We continuously develop and optimize products, services and operations, to target reduced emissions, recycling and waste management practices, and sustainable procurement.

  Some of what we do today includes:

  • Placing high importance on environmental impact for all purchasing decisions
  • Developing components with a long product life
  • Designing products so they are easier to recycle
  • Recycling waste material on all HAKI sites

A responsible company

• SDG 5: Gender equality, SDG 10: Reduced inequalities, and SDG 16: Peace, justice, and strong institutions

  Being a responsible company plays an important role for being an attractive and trusted employer and business partner.

  Internal whistle blowing procedures and equal career opportunities and working conditions for all HAKI employees encourages an internal culture that fosters business integrity and ethical operations.

HAKI is continuously reviewing its approach in accordance to our commitments and the SDG’s, to improve sustainability at every opportunity.
