Contribution to SDGs
In 2025, Orthex joined the UN Global Compact. It is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative based on Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. It also supports broader goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Orthex supports all seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on identified priority sustainability topics, we have determined the most relevant SDGs for Orthex, and how we can best contribute to them.
SDG 7 Affordable and clean energy
We use EPD certified, 100% renewable hydro-power electricity in all our factories.
SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth
With a profitable and growing business, we are able to invest in new, more sustainable products and energy-efficient equipment and technology, provide a meaningful job for a growing number of people, and secure the future of the company.
SDG 9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure
We produce long-lasting, safe and recyclable products. In our operations, we continuously seek to improve energy efficiency.
SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production
We always optimise the use of raw materials and use as much recycled material as we can. Our products are designed to be as efficient as possible to produce and transport in order to consume less energy. Our factories’ two main environmental targets are to reduce the use of electricity and to lower the scrap rate. When developing new products, we always consider how to optimise logistics. When transporting the products, we minimise the use of packaging.
SDG 13 Climate action
We aim to minimise our impact on the planet and reduce our emissions with various actions: by increasing the share of recycled and renewable raw materials, improving energy efficiency, using renewable energy, promoting circular economy, and cooperating with partners across the value chain.
