Sustainability.

At Semcon, we help our customers with new perspectives – to find technical solutions that make life better for people and support the transition to a sustainable planet. Understanding people’s needs and behaviours and how we can create a better and more sustainable world is necessary for success. And that is our strength at Semcon. An innovative force built on different perspectives.

More than 40 years of tech development

Since Semcon was founded in 1980, we have worked to develop technology that matters, for people and our planet. Today, sustainability is no longer an option, it’s a business necessity. To remain relevant, companies need to integrate sustainability into their business strategy. Through our offerings, which range across the entire value chain – and include strategic business design, sustainable product and service design and development, production optimization as well as non-financial reporting and communication – we have a unique opportunity to support companies in all sectors to handle risks and drive opportunities.

We live in a disruptive era. For companies to succeed in the ongoing climate transition and the shift to a circular economy, we need transformative solutions and new business models. At Semcon we can support our customers to take a holistic approach and set a roadmap for the future.

Heidi Östlund, Head of Sustainability at Semcon

Integrated in the business strategy

At Semcon we strive to integrate sustainability into our business strategy. This is a continuous journey. Our greatest contribution to a sustainable society is created through our customer assignments, but we also work resolutely with sustainability issues in our own operations and value chain.

Our focus is on people and the planet – in our own organisation and in our value chain, in our customer assignments and through our role in society. In line with our culture and values, we place high demands for business ethics on ourselves and others.

Our sustainability agenda is based on various international frameworks, including the UN Agenda 2030, the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights as well as the four-pillar framework in the Exponential Roadmap Initiatives 1.5C Business Playbook.

We have evaluated which of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals Semcon most clearly contributes to, in our own operations and value chain, in our customer projects and through our societal engagement activities. In addition, we also contribute regularly to several of the other goals in connection with various customer assignments and pro-bono projects.

Sustainability report

More details about our sustainability agenda can be found in Semcon’s Annual & Sustainability Report. Semcon’s sustainability report for 2021 has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Index (GRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) standards. The sustainability report also constitutes Semcon’s Communication on Progress (CoP) according to the UN Global Compact’s reporting principles. Read more here.
