This spring, Hexatronic published its 2025 Annual and Sustainability Report. The year brought a few firsts: independently validated climate targets, renewable energy past the halfway mark, and infrastructure deployed in Tuvalu through a World Bank collaboration. This is a summary of where the year's results landed.
Climate targets get independent confirmation
In May 2025, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Hexatronic's climate targets. An independent review confirmed that our decarbonization pathway is credible and aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory.
The targets remain unchanged. We are committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42 percent by 2030, cutting Scope 3 emissions by 51.6 percent per million SEK value added, and reaching 100 percent climate-neutral operations, all measured from a 2022 base year.
Renewable energy: past the halfway mark
Renewable sources made up 51 percent of total energy consumption in 2025, up from 46 percent in 2024 and 38 percent in 2022. Expanded renewable electricity procurement and fuel switching across operations drove most of the gain.
Combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) were 12,909 tCO₂e, roughly flat year-on-year. That puts us 75 percent of the way to the 2030 target.
Scope 3: progress and work still ahead
Value-chain emissions increased six percent to 411,412 tCO₂e, driven primarily by higher volumes of purchased goods and services as production grew. The priorities going forward are deeper supplier engagement, better weight-based emissions data, and continued investment in lower-carbon materials.
Action is already visible in logistics. In 2025, 25 percent of full truckload shipments to a major customer moved to intermodal freight, cutting emissions on those routes by around 85 percent against conventional road transport.
Recycled material in ducts recovered to 13 percent in 2025, up from 7 percent in 2024, and back in line with 2022 levels. The 2030 target is 25 percent. A structured plan with our manufacturing companies is now in place to build a consistent upward trend.
When connectivity is not a given
Fiber infrastructure has different meanings depending on where it lands.
In early 2025, Hexatronic supplied infrastructure that enabled the first high-speed connection at Tuvalu's main hospital, improving access to digital health services in one of the world's most remote island nations. Following that milestone, all schools in Tuvalu were connected, giving students and teachers reliable access to digital learning resources for the first time. Both deployments are part of an ongoing collaboration with the World Bank to expand digital connectivity across the island nation.

Closer to home, Hexatronic estimates that its products enabled fiber connectivity to approximately 52,600 rural homes in Sweden and Norway in 2025, based on cable volumes used in last-mile installations. These are communities where reliable connectivity still determines access to services most people take for granted.
How we operate
Sustainability-approved suppliers reached 51 percent of purchasing volume in 2025, up from 43 percent in 2024. The 2030 goal is 90 percent. To qualify, suppliers are evaluated across human rights, fair employment conditions, working environment, environmental impact, and anti-corruption practices. Only those scoring 70 percent or above are classified as approved.
All employees complete annual Code of Conduct training covering integrity, anti-corruption, human rights, and responsible business conduct. Managers, sales teams, and those in high-risk functions such as sourcing and supply chain receive additional targeted sessions. No incidents of corruption or bribery were identified during 2025.
