At SKF, we have a long history of working with industrial sustainability. It is an integral part of what we do every day. And we strive to create engagement throughout the business, not only by implementing sustainability on a strategic level, but also by encouraging the ideas and grass root projects initiated by our people around the world.
But, to continue on the journey to enable rotation for a better tomorrow, even more needs to be done. We all need to move towards a clean, responsible, net-zero, fully circular society – something that must happen with a speed and on a scale not seen before.
So, how does SKF fit in? Well, our largest contribution lies in providing clean technology solutions for the industrial transformation, and in developing more and more of our products to become lighter, more efficient, longer lasting, repairable, and, ultimately, recyclable. This in turn helps our customers reach their goals for sustainability and growth. But we strive to do more. By challenging ourselves, and by inviting others to collaborate, we can continue to find new ways to influence all aspects of the future sustainable business.
Shifting towards higher energy efficiency: the automotive industry is experiencing enormous change, driven by environmental awareness and tough emissions legislation. Manufacturers of cars and light trucks must improve engine and batteries efficiency, lower vehicle weight and reduce emissions. Much of this can be achieved at component level. Whatever your challenges, our offerings – from single seals and bearings to complete powertrain solutions – can help you develop low-friction, lightweight solutions that reduce CO2 emissions.
Every end customer has different challenges, which require varying solutions. Our expertise in bearings can help. As well as offering many standard products, we also supply customised bearings to fit exact requirements. These solutions can be applied widely across the automotive sector.
