– vårt ansvar
Vårt fokus är att skapa värde för våra intressenter och att ta ansvar genom hela vår värdekedja. Vi försöker hitta möjligheter att driva på positiva förändringar och minska den negativa påverkan i de olika processerna. Tillsammans med våra leverantörer och kunder vill vi skapa en mer hållbar industri med tillväxt och lönsamhet för alla. Vi tror att starka relationer och transparens är nyckeln för att uppnå detta.
EcoVadis-medalj för vårt hållbarhetsarbete
Vi fick totalt 73 av 100, vilket placerar oss bland de bästa 4 procenten inom tillverkning av elektroniska komponenter och mönsterkort och bland de bästa 7 procenten av alla företag globalt som har blivit bedömda av EcoVadis under de senaste 12 månaderna.
EcoVadis bedömer ett företags hållbarhetsarbete genom dess policyer, åtgärder och resultat. Det fokuserar på 21 hållbarhetskriterier inom fyra huvudområden: miljö, arbetsrätt & mänskliga rättigheter, etik och hållbart inköp. De bedömningsområden vi presterade bäst inom är miljö och hållbart inköp.
Sustainability achievements
Our vision is to be “The number 1 PCB producer wherever we are“. In 2024, we continued our challenging and important sustainability journey together with our customers, factories and employees. Here are some examples of our actions and achievements during the year:
- The focus remains strongly on social and environmental sustainability at NCAB’s manufacturing partners, along with greater focus on climate impact in the value chain and in our own operations.
- Continued our sustainability audit programme in factories, conducting regular sustainability audits on-site at factories, improving health and safety and working conditions, and environmental performance. The results of our audits show a positive development for all main factories in China, where long-term cooperation focusing on continuous improvement and knowledge transfer has contributed to improved sustainability performance and increased awareness among factory management and employees.
- High quality performance – 99.5% – continued developing our quality processes and performance to keep high quality and reliability level, and to minimize scrap and resources used.
- Continued investing in employee skills development, specifically leadership, sales, technology and onboarding of new employees.
- Conducted webinars and seminars around the world – Design for Manufacturing, Sustainability in a PCB world, Circularity, Standard stack-ups and impedance, Thermal management, Quality assurance and more – our experts sharing our knowledge and expertise to support sustainable product development.
- Continued supporting customers in the design phase – personal technical expertise, as well as design guidelines for different types of PCBs available for download on our website.
- Technical Council focus group on sustainability – for a more sustainable PCB with focus on circularity and new innovative materials and PCB technologies. During the year, we were involved in the evaluation of bio-based and traditional materials with a view to increasing circularity and reducing environmental impact.
- NCAB has set targets and continues to take action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Scope 1 to 3. Our target: By 2030, NCAB aim to have halved the emissions intensity for Scope 1–3 measured in tCO2e per SEK million in sales (of which Scope 3 accounts for 99.4 per cent), calculated from the base year of 2021.
- Emissions intensity (tCO2e/SEK million sales) is largely unchanged, attributable to a decrease in total emissions in in combination with lower sales compared with the year-earlier period.
- Scope 1 and 2 emissions slightly decreased.
- In Scope 3, emissions decreased mainly due to an increased share of manufacturing in Europe and a decreased share in China, but also due to an increased share of renewable energy used in manufacturing in China. Scope 3 accounts for 99.4%.
- Continued dialogue and activities with suppliers and customers to jointly strive to reduce emissions in the value chain.
- In 2024, an updated materiality assessment was compiled in accordance with the requirements for double materiality in the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
- NCAB received an EcoVadis Silver rating for our sustainability work. We scored overall 73 out of 100 which places us amongst the top 4 percent in the Manufacture of electronic components and boards industry and top 7 percent of all companies globally that have been rated by EcoVadis over the previous 12 months.
- NCAB committed to set scientific climate targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

NCAB Groups visselblåsarfunktion
Om medarbetare i NCAB Group eller andra intressenter upptäcker allvarliga oegentligheter eller missförhållanden som bryter mot vår uppförandekod ska de känna sig säkra på att de kan rapportera detta på ett tryggt sätt. Därför har vi inrättat en visselblåsarfunktion, det vill säga en extern part som har bolagets uppdrag att ta emot, anonymisera och tillhandahålla ärendet åt NCAB Groups utredningsfunktion.
