Value chain impact

Sustainability in our value chain    

Nobia's value chain stretches from trees growing in forests and the production of other raw materials, all the way to installation of finished kitchens and their afterlife. We see great future opportunities in the fact that the value chain does not end with the customer, but that more life cycles can be started or that the materials go back into the material flow again. Below is an overall illustration of our sustainability impact today and as part of our strategy in the different parts of the value chain based on the topics from the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). For more information, see the Annual sustainability report 2024, where we provide information on our impacts, management and performance.

Environment

Nobia's science-based climate targets, approved by Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), for climate action in line with the ambition to prevent global warming exceeding 1.5° Celsius are our key guiding environmental goals. These are complemented by Group targets to source more than 99 per cent of purchased wood from certified sustainable forests and regional targets for resource efficiency, environmentally certified products and reduced emissions of polluting substances.

Social

Taking good care of our customers and everyone who works for us directly or indirectly is a key issue at Nobia. We are constantly developing our processes and tools for leadership development and employee well-being and evaluate them annually against an engagement index. Preventive action on health and safety for our own employees is a must in this regard, and we also have an ambitious programme of responsible interaction with suppliers to ensure the health and safety and human rights of workers in the value chain.

Governance

Nobia believes that an ethical approach enables our journey forward. It is in the interests of all stakeholders that companies take environmental and social responsibility throughout the entire value chain. For us, sustainable growth is enabled by our zero-tolerance approach to corruption and our strong commitment to respect human rights and environmental protection.
