Important events for Ramudden in 2021 2021 was an eventful year, with several acquisitions, establishment in a new market and lots of exciting projects.
Ramudden established in Canada Ramudden Inc was established in Canada in March. The move outside Europe marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Ramudden's growth journey. The aim is to introduce Nordic road safety products and solutions. Jesús Muñoz, CEO of Ramudden in Canada, talks about the approach to sustainability:
Ramudden Sweden: 40 percent CO2 reduction We have increased the percentage of HVO that we use – renewable diesel with less environmental impact. This has enabled us to achieve around 40 percent reduction in CO2 for our commercial vehicles.
ISO certification in Sweden and Norway We conducted internal and external audits at Ramudden in Sweden and Norway during the year. As a result, Ramudden Sweden received an updated certificate for ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, and this certificate now includes Norway as well. Next in line is Ramudden in Finland.
You will be working in Ramudden’s first market outside Europe. How do you work with sustainability today? “The Government of Canada has made several commitments to tackle climate change. Sustainability issues have not been a high priority in our industry in the past, but I look forward to helping drive this important change.” How does increased focus on sustainability affect your business? “We are currently seeing major infrastructure initiatives where all suppliers are expected to have a clear commitment to sustainability. This means that for the first time, we are seeing stakeholders include sustainability and other ESG-related aspects (Environmental, Social, Governance) when evaluating suppliers.” What are your priorities when it comes to sustainability? “We are in the early stages of adopting a new framework for sustainable business. This framework is based on the UN goals, and we are focusing on the same areas as the rest of Ramudden. This is not just a way of doing good things for local communities and the planet, it will also set us apart from the competition. It also increases our attractiveness as an employer.”
