Value for the customer, benefit for society and long-term profitability

KG Knutsson is on a journey towards becoming the sustainable company. We see that our business development goes hand in hand with benefits for society. By working strategically with our two main goals; to protect lives and change to a circular business model, we are convinced that it both creates new business opportunities and contributes to sustainable development in society.

We secure business by creating long-term and loyal partners. Then an imp

ortant part is that we meet the environmental and sustainability-related requirements placed on us by the private as well as the public sector. A major internal driving force for us at KGK is to continuously increase our reputation, an important component of our brand work.

“The transport industry is facing major challenges and one of KG

K’s long-term business goals is for us to contribute to the goal of a fossil-free vehicle fleet by 2030. Together, we can contribute to a reduction in the carbon footprint. We can help each

other, exchange experiences and together increase knowledge to make informed choices and sustainable business.”

Sustainable business dealings

Suppliers

In order for a relationship to work, it is necessary to make demands. Throughout KGK’s history, we have always put great stock in being a reliable partner that adds value for our stakeholders in the value chain. KGK’s Code of Conduct describes the requirements that all suppliers must meet to comply with KGK’s values, focusing on people and society, the environment, and ethics.

To set requirements and at the same time give our partners an incentive to grow and develop, we created the distinction Supplier of the Year. Using a number of categories, including delivery precision and sustainability work, each year we name the company that was KGK’s best supplier. Naturally, the biggest winner is our customers!

Circular economy

One example of how we worked with circular economy before it became a term on everyone’s lips is our ZF workshop.

Collaboration and networks

Collaboration is required to enable long-term sustainability work. For this reason, KGK is a member of both the Swedish 2030-secretariat and the Swedish Association for Sustainable Business (NMC).

Sustainable operations

We have collected our environmental and quality policies here.

KG Knutsson AB has been certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for a number of years. We hold a number of certifications to ensure we work in a sustainable manner.

Agenda 2030

There are many challenges both around the world and in our own backyard when it comes to human rights, poverty, equality, the environment, and climate change. To address these challenges, the UN has adopted Agenda 2030. The agenda contains 17 goals that show how the countries of the world can work together to create a more fair and sustainable world by 2030.

At KG Knutsson AB, we reviewed the 17 goals and 169 targets and identified eight goals that we have prioritized for KGK’s operations. Read more about them here.
