Let’s treat the world better

A statement from our owners

As a family-owned business, we are acutely aware that we have a responsibility to leave a lasting legacy and that positive actions we take today benefit us and future generations.

We firmly believe that sustainability isn’t something to do once in order to tick a box. It’s a constant process that requires dedication and tenacity to overcome the challenges presented by an ever-changing business and environmental landscape.

Having operated under the Kaizen business principle of continuous improvement for decades, SEKO is well positioned to fully commit to sustainable practice in everything we do.

We’re committed for the long term and we do it not because it’s an obligation, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Environment

It’s not only about the process, though. Every component used in our systems is chosen with care and consideration and we always ask ourselves the difficult questions: What is the environmental impact of this part during production, use and disposal, and how can we reduce it?

By designing high-quality, long-lasting products with minimal consumable parts and using responsiblysourced parts that are recyclable wherever possible, we not only reduce our own carbon footprint but also help our customers to minimise waste and achieve their own sustainability targets.

As a long-time champion of IoT and data on demand, we invest in the latest technology to connect users to their systems remotely and help them vastly reduce their travel requirement.

Since 2017, we have transformed our internal packaging by replacing polystyrene sheets and blocks with item-specific FSC-approved cardboard, allowing customers to recycle all waste after delivery.

All this is achieved as we work in accordance with the internationally recognised ISO 14001 management system for environmental compliance, ensuring we always operate to the latest legislation.

People

To us, corporate sustainability extends beyond the environment to our responsibility towards the people we employ and serve. With the human aspect of business forever in view, we treat customers and staff with respect, honesty and trust at all times.

The global influence of our next-generation products would not be possible without the rich blend of ideas, opinions and innovations brought by a workforce of more than 1,500 professionals from a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds across six continents.

And with a non-hierarchal approach that means every member of the SEKO team is equally valued for their contribution, we foster a positive, inclusive working environment in which each person can thrive, develop their skills and take pride in their work.
