- Sustainability
At Euroform Group , we acknowledge our responsibility in addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow and place sustainability at the core of our operations.
We believe that a sustainability approach should encompass all aspects of the business’ activities and strive to contribute to a more sustainable industry. An enhanced sustainability awareness is an opportunity for innovation, not a complication.
Maintaining Quality Products
By having this mindset, we make sure to maintain high quality products. Through continuously carrying out improvements we see to it that our customers’ requirements and expectations are met. Competent, creative, and motivated employees are key, and all employees shall be given the opportunity to develop their skills, feel appreciated, and be able to actively participate in our growth.
A Sustainable Sustainability
For ‘sustainable development’ to truly be sustainable, social aspects must be considered equal to environmental aspects, and it is vital that these go hand in hand. Therefore, we choose to formulate goals and establish a process which takes all aspects into consideration. With realistic and concrete targets, we aim for an environmentally friendly production cycle and protection of natural resources, while never taking our eyes off our social responsibility.
Our vision
- We strive to be at the forefront of sustainability and a green transition by integrating a circular approach into all aspects of our operations.
- We uphold human rights and anti-corruption throughout our whole supply chain.
- We aim to be an inclusive employer and encourage people to grow.
- We acknowledge that continuous improvement of our actions and targets is required in order to achieve real change.
Circle of Sustainability
How do we address the activities required to live up to our vision of sustainability?
By applying the following three-pronged approach:
Compliance
Ensuring legal adherence and promoting ethical behavior throughout our organization including third-party companies and partners, and building trust and creating a solid foundation for sustainable growth. This is done by:
- Constant supervision of current and future laws, frameworks, and permits applicable to our operations
- Committing to ISO 14001, ISO 16949, and ISO 9001
- Regular controls and audits, both external and internal
- Establishing policies and codes of conduct for all employees and suppliers
Operations
Full focus on climate and energy efficiency in all aspects of our operative functions, and ensuring safe working conditions and circularity. This is done by:
- Establishing safety procedures in our production
- Increasing accuracy and minimizing transport
- Improving energy efficiency and using green energy
- Internal grinding of plastic waste for re-use
- Including recycled plastic in our materials and products
Social Responsibility
Supporting our local community by being an attractive and inclusive employer and engage in local social activities, and giving people a chance to enter the job market and contribute to a thriving society. This is done by:
- Ensuring the compliance of human rights and anti-corruption

Human rights and anti-corruption
Euroform Group does business with customers and suppliers globally. We encounter different cultures and different values. Therefore, it is very important for us to stick to our core values:
- We do not participate in violations of human rights in the workplace nor in business relations.
- We respect the rights of the individual, equality, and we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination for any reason, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Euroform Group obeys Swedish law and authority, and we have zero tolerance for child labor. We have a system to encourage whistle blowers in the organization to report problems concerning these issues.
- Our Code of Conduct describes our approach to the environment, social responsibility, and the work environment, and is supported by our other policies.
Going forward
Euroform Group has set several milestones regarding our prioritized areas for sustainability for the upcoming years.
Establish a cross-functional ‘Sustainability process’
By establishing a cross-functional in-house network meant to tackle sustainability issues in all our operations, the concept of sustainability is incorporated into all activities instead of being seen as a separate entity. The cross-functional structure is made up of three project groups, each focused on a specific focus area. The project groups are overseen by a steering committee of senior staff. The focus areas are:
- Health & Safety
- Enhance workplace safety and employee well-being by creating a safe, healthy, and engaging work environment, and promote a culture of sustainability.
- Resource Efficiency & Waste Reduction
- Reduce the overall environmental impact by optimizing the use of resources (energy, water, materials) and minimizing waste.
- Sustainable Value Chain
- Ensure that the supply chain aligns with sustainability goals, fosters transparency, reduces CO2e emissions, minimizes waste, and promotes ethical practices.
GHG Calculations and CO2e Reduction Targets
The emissions from Scopes 1 and 2, as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, were calculated during 2024. During Q1 of 2025, calculations including Scope 3 will be conducted for the first time. This will build the foundation for setting CO2e reduction targets and long-term roadmap towards net zero emissions.
Mapping of the Supply Chain
During 2025, a thorough mapping of the supply chain will be carried out. This includes, but is not limited to, risk analyses and action plans regarding human rights, CO2e emissions, and our impact on biodiversity.
LCAs available
We recognize that in order for our customers to follow laws and regulations, product-specific GHG calculations must become available. Therefore, we aim to have established a process for conducting lifecycle analyses (LCAs) for our articles by 2026.
Third party assessments
To make sure that our sustainability processes and reports are keeping up with the highest standards, third party assessments and validations will be introduced during 2026.
SBTi verified targets
To further increase the reliability of our science-based sustainability targets, we aim to have them verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) by 2028.
Our Renewable Energy: Smålandsvind
Smålandsvind supplies the Vätterleden Group with renewable energy from wind power which the highlands of the Småland county provides good conditions for. All together the wind turbines from Hallhult södra, Tapplarp 1 and Tapplarp 2 provide approximately 16,5 GWh/year. The plants have a combined output of 6 MW.
Using Recycled Plastic: Novoplast AB
Euroform Group is a part-owner of Novoplast AB who specializes in recycling plastic through regranulation. Our cooperation with Novoplast allows us to recycle the plastic waste from our operations, as well as provides continuous access to recycled plastic to be used in our products when appropriate.
