objective
Our goal is to create working environments with fewer chemicals
and free from any materials classified as harmful to public health
or the environment. This goal is linked to the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goal no. 12 ‘Responsible consumption and production’.
2030 long-term goal
Our goal is for our solvent use to be less
than 20g/m2 of lacquered surface.
2025 Goal
analysis Our focus is on keeping the amount of
VOCs in the lacquers used on our products as low
as possible. We’re continually working to find alter-
natives with fewer VOCs. During the year, the total
surface area lacquered has decreased significantly
due to the fact that we’ve switched from painting
certain components in our production to purchasing
melamine-coated panels. Since the same amount
of solvent is required for washing the rollers in
the lacquering process, we’ve adjusted our target
to 20g VOC/m2 lacquered surface instead of 12g.
Over the past five-year period, we’ve reduced our
total solvent use by over 50%. At our facility in Kinnarp,
we use UV lacquer on smooth, veneered surfaces,
which gives a resistant finish and very low quantities
of VOCs. At our Jönköping factory, we lacquer metal
surfaces with VOC-free powder lacquer.
