Our commitment to sustainability

Sustainability at Tikka Spikes

As a Nordic manufacturer, environmental friendliness, honesty and sustainability are in our DNA. Our sustainability work spans three key pillars: environmental responsibility, social sustainability, and ethical business. Here’s how we put those values into action.

Our sustainability goals include strengthening sustainability mindset and climate awareness within the company, promoting sustainable use of natural resources, and ensuring the wellbeing, equality, and inclusion of our employees. We are committed to maintaining open, honest practices in everything we do.

In the long term, our ambition is to become carbon neutral. As we move forward with our sustainability reporting (coming soon), we’ll continue to define the concrete steps that take us there.
