In 2015, the United Nations (UN) introduced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are17 global targets designed to address poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation by 2030. These goals serve as a universal call to action, encouraging countries, organisations, and individuals to collaborate for a more sustainable and equitable world.
For businesses, aligning with the SDGs is both an ethical and strategic decision. Companies committed to these goals not only drive global progress but also gain competitive advantages through enhanced trust, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
Traffi’s Commitment to the SDGs
At Traffi, alongside our mission to reduce hand injuries, sustainability is a core value. We actively support four key SDGs that align with our operational and product goals:
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 15: Life on Land
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
These commitments shape every aspect of our business, from how we design our safety gloves to how we manage our carbon footprint.
Carbon Neutral from Cradle to Grave
As a certified carbon-neutral company, we have made significant strides in reducing our environmental impact. Our LXT range of safety gloves is carbon neutral from Cradle to Grave, meaning we carefully manage carbon emissions at every stage of production and compensate for unavoidable emissions through carbon insetting and offsetting.
Insetting: We directly reduce emissions within our own supply chain, delivering transparent and lasting environmental benefits. For example, our tree-planting and conservation projects in Sri Lanka help restore ecosystems and create long-term carbon savings.
Offsetting: We invest in certified carbon reduction initiatives to neutralize remaining emissions, ensuring a truly sustainable approach.
Driving Sustainable Change Across Our Supply Chain
We advocate for sustainable practices at every level of our supply chain, working closely with suppliers to:
- Minimise packaging waste
- Reduce single-use plastics
- Engage in recycling programmes
By aligning with the SDGs, we innovate to minimise waste. For example, switching to Traffi’s sustainable safety gloves can save up to 4 tonnes of waste annually for large contractors. Meanwhile, our Life Extending Technology (LXT) ensures longer-lasting gloves, reducing landfill waste and lowering costs.
