Haglöfs aims to contribute to a society that is sustainable in the long term through responsible actions and with products that are manufactured in an ethical and environmentally sustainable manner. We understand that our business activities affect our surroundings, both positively and negatively. It is important for us that our negative influence is as small as possible.
We have decided to group commitment and responsible business development under the term 'sustainability'. We abide by the EU Commission's definition of sustainability: "A concept wherein companies voluntarily integrate ethical and environmental consideration into their business operations, and their interactions with interested parties."
In Haglöfs' world, business is in harmony with ethics and the environment. We regard being a robust company with good profitability as essential for our ability to successfully pursue sustainability efforts, where the latter are also contributory factors in the company's continued growth, profitability and value.
At Haglöfs, sustainability is integrated throughout the company and it influences all of our daily tasks and assignments. It is one of the fundamental concepts in our strategies and business planning. Our vision and business idea clearly express our commitment.
