Our Goals
Climate Neutral
By 2030, Sikla intends to operate as a completely climate-neutral business to compensate for unavoidable emissions. For this reason, the entire Sikla fleet of vehicles will be entirely electric with most of the energy coming from renewable resources.
Our products are manufactured locally, avoiding long transport routes. Currently, 67 % of the products are manufactured in Germany and another 25 % in Europe.
ISO 14001 - Environmental Management
We are working to obtain the ISO14001 certification as soon as possible.
Ecovadis
Sikla’s sustainability management is assessed by Ecovadis, the largest platform for sustainability ratings. By the end of 2023, we aim to achieve the bronze medal for all Sikla branches. To become more sustainable, we plan to achieve the Ecovadis Silver Medal by the end of 2025 and Gold by the end of 2029.
