From mine to end of life, we are the sustainability partner for our industry.

The Seco Data Matrix is a key to increased circularity and transparency.
- Sustainable solutions
We support customers in key areas of sustainability through our offering.
Sustainable Solutions for Makers
As a mean to live our vision, we drive actions towards sustainable solutions through four key focus areas of Sustainability: Circularity, People & Communities, Climate & Biodiversity and Responsible Business.
Each area has key value chain targets and methods of validation.

Sustainability for Seco and our partners
Driving concrete action for Seco is a must, but supporting our customers with sustainable solutions allows for a shift for the entire manufacturing industry.
How we aim to develop sustainable solutions for our customers is incorporated at the heart of what we do from new product development, Life Cycle Assessments, supporting our customers’ unique challenges, and end of life recycling of our products. It is not only how we operate but how we support customers with services that make achieving key aspects of sustainability possible.
Ongoing key focus areas for Seco that drive this ambition include:
- 100% of New Product Development Projects conduct a sustainability assessment assessing impacts in Seco Operations and at the Customer.
- Increased Service Offering with sustainability support for customers in the machining process.
- CO2 estimates and integration into Cutting Data Engine early 2025 – not only based on energy consumption but other key factors that impact the machining process and integration of pilot results of Life Cycle Assessments.
Industrial Sustainability Assessment
Seco has introduced a digital sustainability assessment tool developed in MyPages to help our sites track progress towards global sustainability targets.
Addressing key challenges: What is one’s current progress towards sustainability, how to prioritize and track improvement actions, how to share best practices across manufacturing sites.
Key Features: compatible with mobile devices, create an action plan focusing on key areas for improvement, get an overview of sites progress in social, environmental and strategic focus areas of sustainability.
