Our material topics
Climate change
At Interroll, we recognize the critical importance of addressing climate change and managing energy use across our entire value chain. We are committed to implementing strategies that mitigate the impacts of climate change, including the use of alternative energy sources and enhancing efficiency in our operations. Our dedication to sustainability drives us to reduce our carbon footprint continuously and to contribute to a greener future. In 2025, nearly three quarters of our electricity came from renewable sources. We continue to improve energy efficiency, decarbonize our sites, and increase transparency across our supply chain. By prioritizing these efforts, we aim to ensure a sustainable and resilient business that benefits our stakeholders and the environment.
Water and waste
At Interroll, we are committed to using resources responsibly throughout our entire value chain. Our approach is grounded in the circular economy principles, such as minimizing waste, improving material efficiency, and closing resource loops wherever possible. By prioritizing responsible water and waste management, we aim to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Health and safety
At Interroll, the health and safety of our employees is not just a priority, it's a responsibility that we take seriously every day. To ensure safe workplaces, we uphold high standards across all our sites. We are committed to the structured, global rollout of ISO 45001 certification, as well as to consistently reducing workplace incidents. By promoting a strong safety culture across our operations, we protect our people and ensure the stable, resilient performance that our stakeholders rely on.

Our commitment to equal treatment ensures that all employees have access to opportunities for growth and development, regardless of their background. By embracing diversity and promoting equal treatment, we aim to create a supportive and empowering environment that reflects our values and contributes to the success of our organization.

At Interroll, we believe that continuous learning is essential for our employee engagement and our competitiveness. We invest in development opportunities at every career stage, from apprenticeships to leadership programs, which are coordinated globally through the Interroll Academy. We believe that skilled, capable employees drive innovation, which is why we and offer a wide range of programs and resources that support professional and personal development. By prioritizing skills and growth, we aim to build a capable and engaged workforce that is ready to meet the challenges ahead.
Human rights in the supply chain

We have a zero-tolerance approach to child labor and forced labor, structured due diligence processes, and clear codes of conduct through which we engage with our suppliers. We are committed to ensuring ethical labor standards not only within our own operations, but among our partners worldwide. By prioritizing responsible sourcing, we aim to build a resilient and trustworthy supply chain that benefits all our stakeholders.
Business conduct
At Interroll, integrity is the foundation of everything we do. We are committed to the highest standard of ethical behavior. This is ensured by a clear Code of Conduct that applies to all employees and business partners worldwide. Our commitment includes fostering a speak-up culture, maintaining robust compliance systems, and holding ourselves accountable at every level. By prioritizing business conduct and compliance, we aim to build lasting trust with our stakeholders and ensure a responsible, sustainable business environment.
Sustainable innovation
At Interroll, we are committed to developing products and solutions that reduce environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle. We integrate energy efficiency, material optimization, and circularity into our product development processes, to ensure that sustainability and performance go hand in hand. Our commitment to sustainable innovation drives us to minimize emissions from the materials we source, the energy our products consume, and their end-of-life. By prioritizing these efforts, we aim to deliver lasting value for our customers while contributing to a lower-carbon future.
Product compliance
At Interroll, we are committed to ensuring that all our products meet the highest safety, material compliance, and environmental transparency standards. We believe that providing clear, accurate, and accessible product information is fundamental for building trust with our customers. This commitment involves expanding product carbon footprints and sustainability labels across our portfolio, thereby empowering customers to make informed choices. By prioritizing product compliance and transparency, we aim to strengthen our market position and promote a responsible and sustainable business environment.
