Reporting the essential

Trelleborg's Sustainability work focuses on aspects of sustainability that create long-term value, sharpen performance and really matter to our most important stakeholders – Customers, Employees and Shareholders. By asking our external and internal stakeholders what they consider essential, Trelleborg has identified the aspects of concern to feature in our reporting. 

Identifying sustainability concerns
Trelleborg carried out materiality surveys to identify stakeholders’ prime concerns within sustainability. The outcome highlights issues such as the use of hazardous chemicals, energy consumption and emissions to air and water, as well as the importance of a safe workplace and good relations with the community.


The aspects and KPIs of sustainability considered most important by external and internal stakeholders have been incorporated into our focus areas to guide performance and reporting.

Trelleborg and the value chain

While Trelleborg’s focus areas when it comes to sustainability have historically been based on the Group’s operations, they have been expanded over time to include other activities both upstream and downstream in the value chain. In terms of materiality, an additional aspect that extends across the value chain should be highlighted: Products that protect the environment and people, as well as infrastructure and society.
