sustainability: respect for people and the planet.
At ALCEA, we implement our core value of ‘Respect for people and the planet’ in everything we do.
Externally and internally, every day. Protecting critical infrastructure such as oil and gas from threats and interruptions is in itself necessary to secure a sustainable today and tomorrow. But it’s not enough.
By the people. For the people.
At ALCEA, we understand the impact of our actions on those around us – and the world we share. Every day, we:
- foster an inclusive and diverse working environment, where everyone is treated with respect.
- put ourselves in the shoes of others, seeing things from your perspective and understanding your feelings.
- acknowledge the contribution of others, whoever they are.
- we are always looking for ways to increase efficiency and reduce waste.
- advocate for sustainable practices and set the standards in local communities.

Science Based Targets for the Group.
In 2022, the ASSA ABLOY Group has received validation by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for the company’s emission reduction targets. We believe that science-based targets will also benefit our business on many levels.
By setting a net-zero target in line with a 1.5°C future, we are making a critical contribution to limiting the worst impacts of climate change.
- We’ll halve Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in our own operations by 2030
- We will reduce the footprint of our wider value chain, including raw materials, logistics and products by 28% by 2030, addressing our Scope 3 footprint
- We are committed to net zero emissions across the whole value chain no later than 2050.

Other information
Proposition 65 or the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law approved in November 1986. Its primary purpose is to protect California citizens from exposure to toxic chemicals by safeguarding the state’s drinking water sources. The statute prohibits businesses from knowingly discharging listed chemicals into drinking water sources.
Proposition 65 also requires that a business selling products that contain certain identified chemicals in excess of defined levels, provide a clear and reasonable warning of the potential hazard. For many listed Proposition 65 chemicals, no warning is required on products determined not to exceed “Safe Harbor” levels of exposure. Proposition 65 is administered by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), which publishes a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects. This list is periodically updated and currently contains over 800 chemicals. The list is accessible at www.oehha.ca.gov/chemicals.
We at ASSA ABLOY, and our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries or affiliated group companies are committed to providing safe and compliant products for our customers. Our goal is to continually work with our vendors, supply chain partners, and resellers to source responsibly and to comply with regulatory and reporting requirements, including providing product warnings to our customers as required by laws like Proposition 65.
Approved Warnings – New OEHHA warning regulations that took effect on August 30, 2018, require more detailed product labelling. ASSA ABLOY Group ensures that its products that require Proposition 65 warnings are labelled in accordance with these new regulations, including identification of specific chemicals and exposure types. Specific product labels reflect the chemical composition of the labeled product. Below is an example of a label which may appear on ASSA ABLOY's products in order to comply with this regulation:
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Armed groups engaged in mining operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries are believed to be subjecting workers to serious human rights abuses and are using proceeds from the sale of conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold, or “3TG”) to finance regional conflicts.
In response to these concerns, the US Congress enacted Section 1502 of the Dodd‐Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act aimed at preventing the use of conflict minerals that finance or benefit these armed groups. The legislation requires US publicly traded companies using conflict minerals in their products to disclose the source of such minerals.
