Towards Net Zero 2050

Climate change is already here and the consequences are becoming clearer, more numerous and more serious every day. For people, nature and animals.

Rapid electrification is perhaps the most important measure society can take to slow down the trend and achieve the climate targets to which the EU and Sweden have committed. 

Nexans has set a global target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This means reducing emissions by 90% compared with 2019 and neutralizing any residual emissions.

Big player = Big impact = Big responsibility

Nexans is a big, global company. In our ecosystem of employees, customers, suppliers and countries we operate in, we have significant impact and power. 

But with great power comes great responsibility - a responsibility we're ready to take on. Both globally and locally. 

We are  committed to the UN Compact and have processes, systems, training and whistleblowing functions to ensure human rights, anti-corruption and environmental responsibility along the entire value chain.

High ratings for our sustainability performance
Nexans’ sustainability performance is regularly assessed by independent organizations. The latest results include an A rating for Climate from CDP, a score of 78/100 from EcoVadis, and an MSCI ESG Rating of A.

Nexans Foundation
Early in 2013, the Nexans Foundation, our global platform for supporting community and charitable projects, was established. It allows us to coordinate several initiatives from employees in the regions and countries where the Nexans Group operates. Through all activities and projects, we also have the opportunity to promote energy supply in vulnerable communities around the world.

Trustworthy communication
Greenwashing is important to avoid as it can lead to users being misled or losing motivation to contribute positively. Transparency, facts, concrete examples and documentation, preferably verified by a third party, are therefore always our goal.

At the same time, we recognize that the field of sustainability is constantly evolving. New knowledge, better data and changing requirements mean that we must continuously develop how we work, set priorities and communicate.

Are you questioning something we've said or written? Challenge us - it makes us all better.
