More sustainable together

Making construction better

We share a common goal: to act more sustainably. We want to be part of a world less burdened by the construction industry's impact, while helping to secure its long-term success.

How can we help drive change in the industry? We are committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to lower our carbon footprint. SBTi provides a recognized framework for companies to set long-term science-based CO2 emission targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. We also operate with business strategies that value the health of people and society alongside economic factors.

  • A holistic strategy: three equally important pillars

    Environment

    We can help reduce our environmental impact. We are committed to the SBTi to play our part in limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 °C in line with the Paris Agreement. 

    People

    A safer, healthier industry benefits us all. We care for our employees' well-being and can help you find solutions that prioritize health and safety in your buildings and jobsites. 

    Society

    By committing to a part of a better society and holding the construction industry to higher ethical standards, we can help make positive changes where we live, where we work and beyond.

For our environment

Construction solutions that help you lower your carbon footprint

We aim to lead the industry in circularity and low carbon footprint solutions to help accelerate your sustainability initiative and drive change in the resource-intensive construction industry.

That’s why we are strongly committed to a set of science-based targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are drawing up an action plan to significantly reduce carbon emissions along our entire value chain by 2033 (short-term target) and achieve net-zero by 2050 (long-term target).

Our circularity approach

Reduce

Our Tool Fleet Management model helps us extend control over the life cycle of our products. We help reduce waste by optimizing your tool crib and ensuring you never have more equipment than you need.

Reuse

When you return our tools, we either donate them for non-intensive use by humanitarian or educational causes or rework and reuse components for repairs instead of using new spare parts. 

Recycle

Tools that can't be reused are recycled by our global network of audited partners. We're striving to recycle more overall, including during our manufacturing processes, to help avoid waste in landfills.

For our people

Prioritizing health and safety for everyone, everywhere

We're committed to the health and safety of our team members - and yours, too.

We not only offer products and services that focus on jobsite and building safety but also help improve safety standards by working with research and approval bodies. Health and safety are baked into every part of our product development processes: from the substances we use to the tool innovations designed to help protect users from fatigue and injuries.
