Company's pledges
Goal 1
Core business
By 2027, we increase the proportion of recycled or naturally derived/recyclable materials used in production across our entire product range to 50 %, compared with 10 % in 2022*.
* Definition of recycled: Certified recycled material (with certificate). Materials used: plastic, wood, textiles, paper, cardboard and outer packaging. Percentages calculated in kg.
Goal 2
Supply chain
By 2026, 100% of our main Tier 1 suppliers meet our sustainable sourcing principles and are Sedex members*.
* SMETA audit according to Sedex with corrective action plan (regular visits by management, charter with highly demanding social and environmental criteria).
We also support subcontractors with non-critical non-conformities on the basis of action plans and regular follow-up. The main Tier 1 suppliers together account for 80% of our subcontracted production.
Goal 3
Internal operations
By 2030, we reduce our tCO2eq emissions (Scopes 1, 2 & 3) by 42 % compared with no reduction in 2022, which we validate or adjust by 2024 by committing to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)*.
* Our scope 3 is limited to the following perimeter: Manufacturing of goods and services purchased on the Meyrin site; Fixed assets; Transport and procurement; Waste generated by the company; Business travel; Commuting.
Baseline of 4601 tCO2eq in 2022.
Scope of pledges
Technew SA operates in Switzerland in partnership with its factories and partners. The pledges taken within the STI framework relate to the sustainability policy applying to all Technew SA operations carried out in Switzerland, Thailand, Portugal, Italy, China and France. The company is therefore accountable for their implementation within the limits of its scope of activity.
Note:
By 2025 systematically indicates the end of the year, meaning: By the end of 2025 (unless otherwise defined, such as fiscal year)
