Background information
Arom-dekor Kemi AB is a leading total supplier of automotive chemicals to the Nordic transportation sector, including the nitrogen oxide-reducing AdBlue. In manufacturing, handling and production, the work environment and environmental impact are always in focus .
Before Stratsys came into the picture, Arom-dekor managed its target management in Powerpoint. It was not a "living way of working" as Maria describes it, the goals were not broken down deeply enough in the organization and the sustainability work was more comprehensive.
Managing the company's goal management and sustainability work in the same platform was a strong contributing factor when choosing to invest in Stratsys.
"A communicative platform where we see things the same way "
- "Our hope is that the tool will help us create a systematic approach to goal management and sustainability. We don't want sustainability work to be sporadic, but to integrate it as part of the daily work process," says Maria.
- "Stratsys gives us the opportunity to create a communicative platform where we see things in the same way throughout the organization. We believe it will facilitate the dissemination of information in different forums, which is important to make goal work accessible to everyone. The tool also makes it easier to break down strategic goals at departmental and individual level, which we believe will contribute to increased engagement.
The value of combining performance management and sustainability
Before Stratsys came into the picture, Arom-dekor managed its performance management in Powerpoint. It was not a "living way of working" as Maria describes it, the goals were not broken down deep enough in the organization and the work was more comprehensive.
The company sees great value in the ability to link goal work with the sustainability strategy. That is why they chose to invest in two of Stratsys' products, strategic planning and sustainability management.
Previously we had a sustainability strategy and a business strategy. Now, instead, we have a single sustainable business strategy for the business.
Continuous strategy work with sustainability in focus
- In the short term, we hope that the tool will create commitment and understanding of what is required to achieve the goals. It should be fun to work with strategy work! In the long term, we want to create a sustainable strategy that we re-evaluate and work with continuously. By introducing systematics and KPIs into the goal work, we take the next step and make ourselves agile in the market.
The ability to link targets and KPIs to sustainability frameworks
- Sustainability frameworks are an important part of linking our work to a wider perspective. As we prepare our 2022 sustainability report, we will benefit greatly from linking our KPIs to the 2030 Agenda. This will also help us in our work towards a GRI report for 2023 and in measuring our climate impact under the GHG Protocol.
Getting support in Stratsys to summarize our goals and KPIs linked to the various sustainability frameworks will create clarity for us.
