Sustainability at Hyva
Built on our core values, we are committed to sustainable manufacturing and to behaving responsibly toward our employees, the environment and to the community in which we operate.
OUR CARE FOR ENVIRONMENT
Our primary goal is to reduce global CO2e emissions by a significant 35% by 2028. We plan to achieve this by implementing a carefully designed annual reduction plan of 7%, aligned with our growth projections. Importantly, we prioritize reducing our environmental impact by improving efficiency, specifically by optimizing energy usage, rather than directly transitioning from fossil fuels to renewables.
Our next goal is to cut non-recycled waste by 20% by 2028 from the 2023 level. We will achieve this by improving recycling methods, reducing the environmental impact of discarded materials. Our aim is to promote a healthier, more eco-friendly future through sustainable waste management.
Our third goal is to reduce water consumption by 35% by 2028, from the 2023 level. We plan to achieve this by adopting water-efficient technologies, encouraging responsible water usage, and investing in sustainable water management solutions. These efforts are not just about saving water; it is about cultivating an eco-conscious culture that extends beyond our organization.
We take active responsibility to minimise the environmental impact of our operation. To achieve this, we implement lean and sophisticated production methods which not only offer substantial benefits in terms of sustainability, but which have cost and quality advantages, too.
To help integrate sustainability across our company, we have put in place values, standards, and policies which our people aspire to and follow.
And our efforts to care for the environment extend beyond the manufacturing process itself. We have, for example, introduced a waste registration system at some sites that have significant cost and environmental benefits. We also actively promote the use of returnable and reusable packaging by our main OEM customers.
BALANCED WORKPLACE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
We truly value our employees and prioritize sustainability by caring for their well-being and fostering a balanced workplace. We invest in career development programs that promote personal and professional growth through training and mentorship, not only improving individual skills but also ensuring the long-term strength of our workforce.
We are committed to maintaining a balanced gender ratio across all levels, recognizing the importance of diversity in driving innovation and creativity. Our dedication to inclusivity ensures that everyone, regardless the person you are, can contribute their unique perspectives and talents. By supporting our employees in their careers and personal development, we develop a sustainable and inclusive organizational culture that benefits both our team and the overall success of the company.
Safety is our top priority
Hyva has a global workforce of more than 3,500 employees and the safety of our employees is our top priority. We continuously work to maintain and improve safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for all our employees, and to provide the information, training and supervision required for this purpose. We will do everything possible to prevent any unsafe situation. Safety is a shared responsibility by all persons working on our sites.
All people working at Hyva can raise any concerns on Safety, Health and Environment in the knowledge that they will be taken seriously and that matters will be investigated appropriately.
Care for Ethical Business
Hyva is committed to forming constructive, long-term relationships with the communities in which we operate. To achieve this at all levels, our business operates in a manner that meets or exceeds the ethical, legal and commercial expectations of our communities.
Our Code of Conduct sets a high standard for behaviour conduct in areas that include workplace health, safety and environment, harassment, discrimination, conflicts of interest and gifts and entertainment. Every employee is familiarized with the Code of Conduct during onboarding and encouraged to repot all suspected violations.
Hyva is translating their visionary goals into concrete actions, creating a sustainable culture within our organization, reflecting our dedication to a responsible and ethical business approach.
Hyva is committed to sustainability, setting ambitious goals aligned with global initiatives like the EU Green Deal to reduce CO2 emissions, waste, and water consumption by 2028. They prioritize eco-friendly and socially responsible practices, ensuring the well-being, diversity, and safety of our employees while upholding strong ethical standards and engaging with local communities.
This comprehensive approach integrates sustainability into all aspects of their operation, driving towards a greener and more responsible future.
