sustainable electronics industry
Mycronic’s firm intention is to contribute to a clean, responsible and profitable electronics industry, and we’re dedicated to integrating sustainability into all parts of our operations and business. Our sustainability initiatives focus on the areas where Mycronic can make the greatest difference: by investing in sustainable innovation, supporting our partners in making electronics manufacturing sustainable, cutting our own CO2 emissions, and engaging in social sustainability and diversity.
As a global supplier of production equipment to the electronics industry, Mycronic’s ambition is to act responsibly throughout the value chain. Our responsibility extends beyond our own operations and includes indirect impact that we bring about through business relationships with, for example, suppliers, distributors and customers. We have the greatest possibility to exert an influence in product development, manufacturing and sales, for example by putting innovation, diversity and equality high on the agenda. And through clear values and efficient procedures to ensure regulatory compliance, we create stable business relations and increase transparency and control in the sales process.
Mycronic is a signatory to the UN Global Compact, supporting its ten principles on human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. Our sustainability initiatives also have a clear link to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and contribute to the goals where the company has the greatest possibility of influencing development in a positive direction. We contribute both through our own accountability and by offering sustainable production solutions to customers.
At the core of Mycronic’s sustainability strategy are three Group wide sustainability goals, set for 2030. The goals concern investing in sustainable innovations to support our customers in combating climate change and other environmental impacts, cutting CO2 emissions from our own operations, and increasing diversity and equality among our employees and in the communities where we operate.

By identifying new solutions and reducing the impact of delivered products, Mycronic aims to support customers in their efforts to minmize the environmental footprint from manufacturing.
Investments in the next generation of Mycronic’s solutions are mainly driven by market demand for feature-rich electronic products, enabling flexible use and meeting the demands of the fast-moving electronics industry. Sustainability is increasingly becoming an integral part of discussions with customers and compliance with stricter environmental regulations and other legal requirements is high on the agenda. In addition, Mycronic expects increasing demands to extend product lifetimes through easier maintenance and repair, as well as smarter decommissioning, dismantling and recycling possibilities. Innovation and development initiatives at Mycronic are driven in close partnership with our customers. As part of this, Mycronic is committed to contributing, within our sphere of influence, to a more sustainable electronics industry. We therefore aim to decrease the environmental impact from the use of our products in customer operations.

At Mycronic we work to reduce the environmental impact, not just in our operations but also during the product lifecycle. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and our waste, as well as to avoid hazardous substances. Like all producing companies product quality is very important and has a direct link to the environmental impact. Insufficient product quality impacts the environment through increased use of resources such as material and energy.
