Hållbarhet

Kanthal, a division within Alleima Group, has won the E-prize from EON, Aktuell Hållbarhet and Dagens Industri in the energy optimization category. The motivation from the jury: ”With a 90-year-old invention combined with a modern and innovative approach, this year’s winner is paving the way for a fossil-free industry through the electrification of high-temperature processes.”

Sweden has long been a pioneer in the world for integrating sustainability into business. In fact, the Swedish government has set ambitious climate targets to become the first fossil-free welfare country with net-zero emissions by 2045. In this context of broad societal commitment to clean economic growth, Sweden’s steel producers have also long embraced environmental stewardship in their operations and as steelmaking is one of the biggest emitters of CO2 globally, this is positive news for manufacturers and the construction industry.

Alleima has been awarded with the gold medal by EcoVadis, a leading provider of corporate sustainability ratings. This prestigious recognition of sustainable business practices places Alleima in the top 5% among the more than 130,000 companies assessed worldwide.
