Sealing a more sustainable future
Operations
We work to reduce CO2 in all of the unit’s operations. There are essentially two ways to reduce our carbon footprint: we either choose to shift to renewable energy sources, or we reduce our consumption of non-renewable energy.
Compliance
Our commitment to total compliance is deeply embedded in its business ethics. The company abides by all laws and regulations, meets rigorous standards of certification and approval, and is a champion of human rights.
Social engagement
Social engagement means taking part in local community development and acting as a good corporate citizen, all while guaranteeing the highest standards of safety and inclusivity for every Trelleborg employee.

Social engagement activities
Trelleborg y Kūrybos kampas 360° together for the environment
Trelleborg, together with our partner company Kūrybos kampas 360°, organized four workshops this summer for young people in Taurage. The purpose of these workshops were to educate the children on waste sorting and the recycling of packaging materials, with nearly 100 children participating across the sessions.
Additionally, 55 copies of “Our House is on Fire – Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis” written by Greta Thunberg, Malena Ernman, Beata Ernman & Svante Thunberg were provided to Taurage county libraries to raise awareness of the environmental crisis.

Meet Nathaly Villegas Chantre
Nathaly comes from Cauca, Colombia and works as a quality inspector on our nightshift at our Trelleborg facility. Nathaly arrived in Sweden a month ago looking for a job to support her daughter and mother in Colombia. Upon arrival in Sweden, she immediately started looking for a job and came across Trelleborg Group which led to her getting in contact with Firas al-Sahli, the Operations Manager at our Trelleborg site. Together with our subcontractor, Pike Personal, and Magnus Ivarsson, our site Production Manager, we managed to arrange a position for Nathaly.
At its core, her job is to carry out the finished product quality inspection. ‘I’m always thinking of how to improve and discover new things - this is something that I love!’ Nathaly says. ‘The best part of the job and working at Trelleborg? Without a doubt, it’s the people, everyone has been very welcoming and supportive.’
Nathaly continues ‘I was fortunate to both find a job and a place to live in such a short time after doing some “couch surfing” for a couple of weeks.’
Work-life balance
Working the night shift makes it easier for me to make all the arrangements needed when new to a country and has allowed me to start learning Swedish’ Nathaly explains.
Future plans
Nathaly misses her daughter who is 15 and studying at high school in Colombia and she looks forward to being reunited with her daughter soon. She also is aiming to achieve a higher level of Swedish fluency.

Trelleborg team Bambinis and Lohrbach municipality working towards a sustainable world.
Trelleborg team Bambinis and Lohrbach municipality working towards a sustainable world.
Team Bambinis and their coach Marilena Messel from Lohrbach Football Club would like to thanks Trelleborg for their sponsoring of tracksuits for the team. The uniforms are identical to the tracksuits worn by all club members and the children are particularly proud to look just like the "big ones".
Team Bambinis think it's really great that Trelleborg is active in the area of sustainability. The team and their trainer decided to also make an active contribution to environmental protection.
It is important, even with the children, to awaken an understanding of social commitment. Together it was decided that a fruit tree should be planted at each of the public playgrounds in Lohrbach and that the children should sponsor it. It's really something special when the children can harvest the fruit from their own fruit tree. The municipality of Lohrbach was also involved in the project and the idea was also received with great enthusiasm here. The planting will take place in the coming fall. It's nice to see everyone participating in this campaign with so much enthusiasm.

Supporting local sports club in Lathen
Our site in Lathen sponsored the local sports club DJK Eintracht Papenburg by financing new rain jackets for two of the youth football teams.
In return, about 50 club members including youth players, coaches, parents, and siblings, organized an event to clean up the nearby sports ground, playground, and forest.
Both small and big pieces of trash were collected and in the end the team could proudly hand over a mountain of rubbish to the city of Papenburg. After the successful clean-up, refreshments were served to the eager environmental champions.

Supports local basketball team in Aurora
Teammates from Trelleborg Seals & Profiles in Aurora, Ohio, volunteered an evening to support the Ravenna High School basketball team, which is in an area that several of our employees live.
We were able to provide the students with a team dinner, which their team budget does not allow for. This allowed the team to have some time to relax and enjoy a delicious meal following a rigorous practice.
Our team was able to spend time getting to know the students, and we are looking forward to more events with them in the future!

100 000 plastic cups less per year in Värnamo!
Our colleagues in Värnamo, Sweden, have taken a step towards achieving the group's "50 by 25” climate target - To reduce its CO2 emissions by 50 percent relative to sales by 2025.
As a first step they changed to paper cups, but have now gone further, handing out personalized bottle to all employees in the production site, and thereby eliminating paper cups. Paper cups are now only available in the visitor area. This is expected to result in a reduction of around 100 000 plastic cups per year!
