Our way of working for a sustainable shift

At Sandvik Rock Tools we are determined to take action when it comes to sustainability. We are on our most important journey to date - to make the mining industry as sustainable as possible and secure the necessary minerals we needed to make the shift towards a sustainable future.

This report, that we call the “Our way report”, is created to give our customers, employees and other important stakeholders an annual overview of where we stand in terms of the progress of our sustainability efforts.

The Our way report outlines our approach at the division level within Sandvik Rock Tools, focusing on climate change and circularity. For comprehensive sustainability reporting, we refer to the Sandvik Group’s annual report.
