Sustainable Development Goals (UN)
On 25 September 2015, the UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda, a universal agenda for sustainable development that contains seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. The SDGs, in turn, have 169 targets and more than 230 global indicators for how the work is to be carried out and monitored.
The Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda represent the most ambitious agreement for sustainable development ever adopted by world leaders. The concept of sustainable development integrates the three dimensions of sustainability: social, economic and environmental.
With the Sustainable Development Goals, world leaders have committed to achieving four fantastic things by 2030:
- To eradicate extreme poverty.
- To reduce inequalities and injustices in the world.
- To promote peace and justice.
- To solve the climate crisis.
We are the first generation that can eradicate poverty, and the last that can fight climate change – and the Sustainable Development Goals represent our common plan for how we create a better and more sustainable world for all!

Materiality areas
Gender equality (SDG 5)
Promoting gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by, for example, eradicating discrimination and ensuring the full participation of women in leadership. We contribute to this goal by striving to achieve the following: that the proportion of women in the Group will be higher than the average in the Swedish IT industry, that we have an even gender distribution on the Board of Directors, and that, through regular employee surveys, we ensure that Formpipe is perceived as a workplace characterised by gender equality.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9)
Building resilient infrastructure, striving for inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and promoting innovation and a sustainable business community. Formpipe contributes to this goal by providing services in digitalisation and technological development, which also enables other businesses to reduce their ecological footprint.
Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8)
Striving for lasting economic growth that does not come at the expense of social or environmental aspects. This goal is also about ensuring workers’ rights and promoting a safe and secure work environment for all. Two particularly important priorities for us are that all employees are happy at work and receive a salary that corresponds to their workload and duties, regardless of where in the world the employee is located.
Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12)
Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns throughout the value chain. Since we do not produce physical products, our greatest contribution is systematically making sustainable choices when purchasing goods and services, as well as maintaining IT equipment in order to increase the useful life and reduce electronic waste. We strive to centralise operations with virtual servers to reduce energy use, and we impose sustainability requirements on our suppliers through our Code of Conduct.
Our long-term goals
We strive to achieve sustainable growth that does not come at the expense of social or environmental aspects.
This is our overall goal, which is measured through all of the social and environmental goals described below. This goal is linked to our materiality area Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8).
By 2030, 100 per cent of the data we store in all countries shall be stored on servers powered by fossil-free energy.
This goal is linked to our materiality areas Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9) and Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).
By 2026, our suppliers shall have signed our Code of Conduct.
The alternative is that they have their own Code of Conduct which corresponds to ours. This applies to the suppliers from whom we make purchases totalling more than SEK 500,000 per year. This goal is primarily linked to our materiality areas Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) and Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).
We strive to achieve climate-neutral operations by 2050 in line with Europe’s climate goals. We monitor our levels of greenhouse gas emissions by measuring the number of business trips, avoiding unnecessary air travel and climatecompensating for all air travel.
This goal is linked to our materiality area Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).
At least 95 per cent of our customers shall perceive that our offerings enable innovation / technological development.
This goal is linked to our materiality area Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9).
We strive to have a higher proportion of women in the Group than the average in the Swedish IT industry.
This goal is primarily linked to our materiality area Gender equality (SDG 5).
