We see ESG as an opportunity to make Aktrion more sustainable—not only in terms of ecology but also in terms of our team and creating a fun place to work. In addition to social responsibilities, we aim to ensure the well-being of the Aktrion employees by promoting diversity, caring for their physical and mental health, and being involved with different local initiatives.
Our responsible investment policy reflects this ethos:
ESG has become a priority for industrial operations, who now require sustainability reports and adherence to environmental and social criteria. At Aktrion, while our ESG efforts are confidential, we recognise the benefits:
Embracing ESG isn't just about compliance; it's an investment in sustainable growth and positive impact on our planet and communities.
Net Zero Commitment: Setting ambitious targets for achieving net-zero emissions, with a goal of reaching Net Zero by 2040 in the UK&I and ANZ regions, and by 2050 across the remaining business. Additionally, aiming for a transition to 100% Electric Vehicle (EV) or Hybrid fleet by 2034, and targeting a 70% reduction in Scope 1 emissions and a 56% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Embracing DEI principles through initiatives like CHROMA, focusing on promoting diversity and inclusion within the organisation. Also prioritising employability programs to empower individuals and foster a more inclusive workforce.
Community Engagement: Actively engaging with communities to make a positive impact through various initiatives, supporting employability and fostering strong community ties.
Ethical Business Practices: Committed to doing business the right way, prioritising the well-being of colleagues, customers, and communities. Utilising a balanced scorecard approach to measure performance and adhering to an evidence-based philosophy.
Ecovadis Rating: Pursuing a Group Ecovadis rating, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices on a global scale. This reflects a dedication to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations throughout the organisation's operations.
At Aktrion, we believe actions speak louder than words.
That's why we've established the ESG Info Exchange—a platform aimed at creating a unified approach to capturing and reporting ESG data. This initiative serves multiple purposes, including supporting our ESG strategy, communicating progress to stakeholders, facilitating bids, and meeting legislative requirements.
We understand that the journey towards sustainability begins with a single step. Here's our roadmap to success:
Through these steps, we're not just talking about sustainability—we're actively working towards it, step by step.
