Sustainability journey

Environmental

We strive to decrease our energy consumption and keep today’s energy mix. Plastic packaging material is recycled and there is a transition to a greater proportion of cardboard. Planning and optimisation of the amount of components per shipment is another example where SGA tries to take their environmental responsibility to reduce the CO2 emissions.

We are in the top 1% (environment performance indicator) of companies rated by EcoVadis in the Wholesale of electronic and Telecommunications Equipment and parts industry.

We have improved our CO2 footprint e.g. by reusing plastic packaging materials and transition to more paper-based materials. Less amount of transportations due to customer cooperation for increased number of components per shipment is also a positive contribution.

Social

As a company with production facility, safety at work is of high importance with regular safety inspections and continuous improvements and we are proud of the track record we have had over the past years.

Diversity and inclusion – SGA’s ambition is to reflect the society in terms of equality, although competence and suitability will always be important. So far we almost have 20% female employees and some of us come from abroad. 

We are proud that the average length of employment at our company is about fifteen years.

Target

Maintain our low staff turnover. Support a local social community initiative.

Maintain ISO 9001 & 14001 and use ISO 26001 for guidance on social responsibility. 90% of our suppliers must sign our Code of Conduct.
