Sustainability in ABENA
Our Commitment to Care
Discover how we make a change
Changing the world starts within
Our impact affects every user, customer, or business partner we interact with. We want to make sure that our impact is responsible.
We drive our work from within. We encourage ideas, knowledge sharing, and partnerships across our business operations because we believe that our progress will be most successful when we all play an active part.
We reserve the right to make any errors or changes in the data or cases presented on our sustainability websites.
"It all starts with the right mindset"
- Lobke Albers, ABENA in the Netherlands
Recycling the Core
In 2024, we acquired a Core Cleaning Machine, which allows us to separate waste cores from tissue and PE used in the production of laminate and protective sheets.
Transforming the Diaper System
In March 2024, we joined forces with the University of Southern Denmark, Design School Kolding, Aarhus and Odense municipalities, and Odense Renovation to uncover the possibility of making Denmark's diaper system more circular by 2030.
Redesigning the Thermal Jacket
In Denmark, regions and hospitals have a strong focus on reducing waste that is sent for incineration. This has led to a demand for products that can be recycled.
Achieving EcoVadis Gold
In December 2023, our subsidiary in France was awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal for our work with sustainability management performance and continuous improvement in CSR practices.
Testing New Technologies
In Växjö, Sweden, we are testing a technology that optimizes the airflow from our ventilation system.
Changing to LED
Throughout 2023, ABENA is replacing all lamps in the warehouse and production facilities in Denmark.
We stand united
Towards 2030
Because we care, we have made it our vision to provide quality of life to users of our products - always with sustainability in mind.
We have set seven specific targets for sustainability that we work with.
