Environmental responsibility

Environment – Our ecological responsibility

Environmental responsibility is a natural part of business at Reka Cables. We manufacture and supply cables for the circular economy and for energy production that is renewable and reduces CO2 emissions.

Examples of our environmental implementations

• Renewable electricity at all sites.
• Switching to LED lighting in our production facilities.
• Solar power plants at our factories in Keuruu and Riihimäki.
• Verified Ekolämpö – district eco heating at the Keuruu factory.
• We have discontinued the use of natural gas and heating oil.
• We do not deliver cables to new fossil fuel power plant projects.
• We only use raw material suppliers that have committed to sustainable development in their own businesses.
• Cabler, a cable reel management application, brings additional value both for our clients and for the environment by optimizing project management, reel circulation, and logistics-related transportation.
• We use contracts and audits to secure our supply chain.
• By producing long-lasting cables for the production of renewable energy, we do our part in advancing the energy sector towards a more ecological and sustainable future.
• Reducing the environmental impacts caused by our production also brings us towards a sustainable and cleaner future.
