Safety for people. Care for the environment.
We work continuously to reduce our climate impact through better material choices, more efficient packaging, energy‑smart processes and long‑term partnerships.
Our sustainability work – as part of the Orkla Group
Cederroth First Aid is a brand within Orkla Health, which in turn is part of the Orkla Group. Our sustainability work is based on Orkla’s overarching sustainability framework that guides how the Group works with climate, resources, people and responsibility. This means that sustainability is integrated into everything we do – from product development and material choices to production, transport and use.
Within Orkla Health, the sustainability work focuses on three priority areas:
- Environment: We reduce our environmental impact through efficient use of resources, more circular solutions and actions that lessen pressure on nature and the climate.
- People: We strengthen people’s health and well‑being – both through our products and by contributing to safe, inclusive and responsible value chains.
- Governance & ethics: We conduct our business in a fair, transparent and ethical way, with high standards of accountability across the entire value chain.
Our goal is clear: Safety for people. Care for the environment.
How we develop more sustainable products and packaging
From recycled plastic to First Aid products
We continuously work to reduce the climate impact of our products – without compromising on quality or function. An important part of this is to increase the share of recycled plastic in our stations and dispensers. In 2022, we switched the green‑coloured plastic in our stations to recycled material. In 2025, we took the next step and moved to 100% recycled plastic in the transparent station lids. Recycled plastic generates significantly lower carbon emissions than virgin plastic and is therefore an effective way to reduce a product’s total climate footprint.
Packaging with lower climate impact
The design and material choices of our packaging are an important part of our sustainability work. We therefore actively work to increase the amount of recycled and renewable content while ensuring that our packaging is easy to recycle.
Our corrugated packaging consists of 82% recycled material, of which 90% of the paper fibres come from consumer‑recycled FSC‑certified paper. In total, the packaging consists of more than 90% paper‑based material that is both bio‑based and renewable. Shrink film and bubble wrap are made from 100% recyclable LDPE.
