Sustainable development is the only option
Financial strength and success are unattainable if we disregard the environment and world around us. And vice versa, the dependency is mutual. For Höganäs this is the core of sustainable development.
As a company, Höganäs makes a difference through our metal powder solutions and know-how. We believe that metal powders can and should be used in industry to a much larger extend than today and that they can contribute to sustainable growth. That is why our vision is “driving positive change through material innovation”.
Höganäs participates in the UN Global Compact (UNGC). This voluntary corporate citizenship initiative was launched in 2000 to encourage businesses worldwide to adopt and implement sustainable and socially responsible policies. We have committed to uphold the UNGC’s Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption and make continuous efforts to achieve sustainable development.
