Sustainability

Let’s hold the world together

It’s easy to overlook the environmental impact of a screw. But when you consider how many screws are used to hold the things we rely on every day together, it becomes clear that even the smallest component can make a difference – even a tiny screw.

At Bulten, we take a holistic approach, looking at the entire supply chain in our sustainability efforts – from raw materials to our own production. It’s only when we connect things we can reach a more sustainable future.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just reducing emissions; it's about integrating sustainable practices into all aspects of our operations - from production and supply chain management to being a responsible employer. Naturally, given that steel is our primary material, it does receive a special focus. It's an area where we see great opportunities to make tangible, impactful changes. - Axel Berntsson, President & CEO
