Sustainability

What started as an idea to help a friend is now a global company, improving lives all around the world. Using advanced electric actuator solutions, we move people in their work and their lives. But the goal to improve lives goes far beyond our products – it is included in our way of thinking, our values, and the way we do business.

Our roots in our Danish culture, our family heritage, and our values help drive us. Not to always take the easiest path, but the right one; for our customers, our employees, and our stakeholders. Thinking sustainably has always been a part of our decision-making, and we have taken significant steps to ensure that our biggest impact on this planet is improving lives with our products.

We all have a responsibility to help minimise any negative impact on the environment.

In 2012, my family and I made an important decision for the LINAK^® future. We initiated a generational plan to secure that the business stays in the family, and that the values that describe our family-owned business continues. When it comes to investments, we think long-term. At LINAK we feel very committed to our employees and the local area, which is why we keep the headquarters and production in Denmark, and we support activities in the local community. We also feel very committed to our customers; they are the reason for our existence.

Turning words into action

Following a comprehensive double materiality assessment, we have chosen to focus on six focus areas to advance our sustainability initiatives within the ESG categories.

These areas also support and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By integrating these initiatives into our operations, we also reflect our LINAK brand promise of delivering sustainable solutions that enhance quality of life, ensuring that our actions resonate with our dedication to both innovation and responsibility.
