The Vikan Green Team 

Continually implementing sustainability improvements

At Vikan, we work towards a sustainable future, and we are committed to continually implementing sustainability improvements. To be able to uphold and drive our commitment we need to challenge our current business practices on a continuous basis. And often the good ideas for improving are to be found amongst our colleagues.
But how do you ensure that the good ideas are captured and implemented?

In 2018 we established the "Vikan Green Team" which is a global cross functional team. The "Vikan Green Team" is responsible for collecting ideas, secure sustainability focus in the daily work and implement prioritized initiatives. We work after an annual cycle covering monthly meetings, sustainability progress report, revising sustainability roadmap etc. and we have dedicated time for the Vikan Green Team to work on the sustainability projects and initiatives. 

Inputs are valued

"Several ideas for sustainability initiatives suggested by our employees have already been transformed to actions. On a regular basis, we communicate internally on the initiatives we work on and provide an update when ideas or projects are implemented. In this way, we make sure all employees know that their input are valued."

team member of the Vikan Green Team

Taking consistent steps to make a positive impact on the environment

We closely follow all the latest developments concerning plastics and recycling through our extensive range of networks.
We are constantly curious about the newest inventions and solutions in this area to see how they can be implemented at Vikan. In this way, we know when the next small but important change is possible.
