Initiatives and programs

Sonova’s commitment to reducing our environmental impact is reflected in our Corporate Environmental Policy, which substantiates our dedication to environmentally proactive behavior and defines the company’s environmental management organization, responsibilities and priorities. These priorities are: to reduce our climate impact while ensuring our resilience to the effects of a changing climate; to become more efficient in our energy usage while increasing the ratio of our renewable energy consumption; to reduce our waste and water withdrawal, along with the use of hazardous substances in our products and processes; and thereby to become a more circular company over time.
