Our CSR approach
Maximizing value
At Nilfisk, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a vital role in the future of our business. We believe positive business results are achieved by working persistently, and systematically, on CSR-related initiatives. We set robust goals and initiatives to minimize Nilfisk´s negative impact and maximize the value we create for people, the environment, and the economy.
Our strategy comprises four focus areas, across which we believe we can make the greatest impact:
Climate and Environment – Society – Customers – Workplace

Climate and Environment
Reducing our climate and environmental footprint
Attention to our impact on global climate, and environment, is a critical part of Nilfisk’s CSR strategy and business. We focus on reducing our negative impact and leveraging opportunities to bring value to people and the environment. We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative, and have set ambitious climate-impact targets.
Our work with an Environmental Management System (EMS), and a focus on certifying our sites in accordance with ISO 14001:2015, form the basis for further improving our environmental performance.

Society
Integrity and ethical processes
By priotizing integrity and ethical processes in every aspect of our business, we can ensure long-term, sustainable success for our company, employees, and society. Our Business Code of Conduct expresses Nilfisk’s commitment to promoting integrity-centric behavior throughout the company.
