For the fourth year in a row, SKF is placed first for its environmental efforts and this year also has the highest score when the index for environment and human rights are combined.



- We are proud of the result, which is an acknowledgement of our commitment and continuous work within sustainability, says Bengt Olof Hansson, Vice President, Group Human Resources & Sustainability.

The index reflects how the companies work with areas like reducing energy consumption, recycling and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, efforts within health and safety, diversity in the workplace, collective rights of negotiations, and human rights among suppliers.
