This report is based on our data from 2020 and has been inspired by the Global Reporting Index (GRI) sustainability reporting framework.
The reporting index table below makes it easy for readers to find the relevant GRI information in this report.
Where possible, we have used 2018 as a base year to make data comparisons and track our progress. However, we have sometimes used 2019 as a base year, and our 2020 data will be our base year for tracking the future development of metrics where we do not have historical data for.
Strengthen the added value message Promote independent studies on added value
This report would not have been possible without collaboration between Envac employees and our
external partners, including input from important stakeholders and support from content creators.

We have one supply chain department serving all entities within the region.
We have approximately 70 suppliers connected to our direct products.
Out of these we have identified 30 suppliers as key suppliers.
To be considered a key supplier they have three criteria to meet:
Supplier of key components
We are in regular contact with the supplier (weekly or daily)
The supplier delivers bottle neck product
They supply us with mainly mechanical and automation related products.
Geographically our suppliers are mainly based in Sweden although we have some suppliers in the Baltics, Poland and Norway.
Our main supplier of pipes is based in Germany. We have one supply chain department serving all entities within the region.
In 2020, we decided to bring together our daughter company Envac Optibag to be combined with Envac Scandinavia.
At the end of 2020, this work was not yet completed but the plan was to finish the transformation at the beginning of 2021.
In our supply chain, we continuously work on risk mitigation of product sourcing. Therefore in 2020 we added one supplier from the Baltics to the list of suppliers,

They are running on HVO that is a biodiesel with a positive effect on CO2 emissions from alifecycle perspective. In emission calculation this has not been taken into consideration.

We have between 25-35 key suppliers. They are evaluated within a three year evaluation cycle. This indicates that we shall do approx: 8 evaluations per year. 2018 was the start of this way of doing evaluations.
As we do not assess social sustainability criteria today for our suppliers, we do not currently monitor diversity and inclusion from a supplier point of view.
However, this is part of our development plan described under our Business responsibility topic – Fair & Ethical Business – Future development.
