Towards Net Zero 2050

At Nexans, we strive to electrify the world in a responsible way.
Through innovation, value creation, and environmental care, we are shaping the future together with our customers, partners, and employees.

Sustainability at Nexans Sweden
We thought about sustainability even before we knew the word existed - simply because we want to make a difference.

For decades, we have connected people and businesses - ensuring that power is directed to where it is useful. Our driving force is to never stand still - to constantly innovate, improve, simplify.

The film describes in a comprehensive way what we have done so far. More details can be found under the tabs for each sustainability aspect.

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 a global target to reach Net Zero by 2050 (Scope 1, 2 & 3) according to the Science Based Targets Initiative.

 

Our mission to electrify the future therefore feels extremely important. However, it is crucial that electrification can be done in a responsible way, taking into account all three aspects of sustainability: Social, Economic and Ecolocical.

We have chosen to call these three areas "E3" (Engagement, Environment and Economics) and they form the backbone of our business plan, ensuring a balance between profitability and sustainability. 

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.

Top marks in global CSR work
Independent scrutiny of our sustainability work is important to provide credibility and to ensure high performance and continuous improvement

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 are humbled by the fact that the field of sustainability is constantly evolving. What is perceived as truth today may not be tomorrow. Together we learn the most and the fastest.
