Our Sustainability Efforts at G A Lindberg

At G A Lindberg, we continuously work to reduce our environmental impact by improving our energy and resource efficiency, reducing emissions, managing waste, and optimizing transportation. We strive to enhance all aspects of our operations that affect the environment.

Our Vision for a More Sustainable Future

Our vision is to offer the most environmentally friendly product or solution to our customers, in collaboration with our suppliers and business partners.

Gold in the EcoVadis Sustainability Ranking 2025

We are proud to announce that our company has been awarded Gold in the EcoVadis sustainability ranking for 2025. This prestigious recognition places G A Lindberg among the top 5% of all companies assessed globally, serving as clear proof of our commitment to sustainable development.

What is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is a leading independent platform that evaluates corporate sustainability performance in the areas of environment, labor rights, human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

Environmental responsibility and regulatory requirements

We comply with all applicable environmental legislation and ensure that our products meet relevant standards. By having a thorough understanding of both national and international laws, we can continuously develop our operations to reduce our environmental impact.

Technical expertise and environmental benefits

Our greatest strength lies in our technical expertise and our market-leading product range. We have extensive competence in both environmental and health matters, allowing us to always offer the best solution for our customers. By working systematically on environmental improvements, we can create real environmental benefits for our customers and the communities in which we operate.

Impartial solutions for our customers

The breadth of our supplier base makes us somewhat of a neutral party and we can therefore always promise the best solution for you, regardless of your needs. Our goal is to collaborate with our customers to provide solutions that are not only technically superior but also sustainable from an environmental perspective.

The principle of substitution

We have a substitution service where our salespeople work together with our HSEQ manager and review the range to see if something is possible to replace with a more environmentally friendly and work environment friendly alternative or ways to reduce exposure with aids or protection. In 2020, G A Lindberg participated as a speaker at the Chemicals Inspectorate's forum for a non-toxic environment aimed at small and medium-sized companies. Substitution is about continuous improvement. To constantly find new solutions to make products and processes safer. We actively work with this through optimization proposals and Industrial sustainability economics. Find out more how we work with optimization proposals.

Label indicates that a product may be preferable from an environmental point of view.

As part of our sustainability work, we ecolabel the products that meet the requirements for less environmental impact in cases where this is possible, in order to better guide customers in choosing products with an ecolabel.

G A Lindberg sponsors Solvatten

Approximately one billion people lack access to clean water. As part of our sustainability efforts, G A Lindberg has been supporting and donating to Solvatten since 2011, where we also contributed with a technical solution for the container's bonding application. Through our donation, 1.7 million liters of water can be purified each year, providing clean water to countries in need. Solvatten not only assists people in developing countries and vulnerable areas with access to clean water for household and healthcare purposes, but also has significant climate benefits, as the technology solely relies on sunlight to purify and heat water.
