Rock Tools sustainability focus areas
To achieve Sandvik Rock Tools sustainability mission statement, we have implemented a governance process guided by three focus areas. Each one contains measurable goals that are followed and revised regularly to ensure that plans, investments and activities deliver sustainable results in wanted direction.
All Sandvik Rock Tools functions have their own unique scorecard with relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for their operations. The scorecard set the foundation for the function’s long- and short-term sustainability projects and activities. This is a key factor to involve all functions and employees and for our sustainability work to be successful.
