Sustainable and loud about it
More than 20 years. That's how long we expect Silen products to last. From sustainable, ethically-sourced materials to lengthy product life, Silen rejects both wasteful manufacturing and consumption.
We're working to lower our emissions and overall carbon footprint even further. From every stage of development to the end of our products' life, this commitment is non-negotiable.
Silen Zero - steps toward a greener future
Through our comprehensive Silen Zero initiative, we have mapped out our sustainability goals through 2027 as part of our ongoing commitment to continuously move closer to our true Net Zero goal.
Silen Zero goes beyond environmental goals. It also covers ESG targets, progress monitoring, and team training. It also helps set an example for others just starting their sustainability journey.
Here's how we are taking action.
Sustainability is at the core of our R&D efforts, driving the development of innovative, eco-friendly products. We focus on maximizing product usage, increasing the incorporation of recycled materials, and exploring the Product as a Service concept.
We regularly update Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for our products, using these insights to continually assess and lower their climate impact.
We work closely with our partners to ensure that they share our sustainability principles. A sustainable future requires collaboration, and we’re committed to aligning our supplier network with our values.
We hold ourselves to high standards in reducing the environmental impact of our operations, from using renewable energy to optimizing packaging.
Designed to make a difference
Our pods are designed for flexibility, adapting to changing needs with ease. They are modular, scalable, and can be relocated easily, ensuring long-term use in dynamic environments.
Built to last 20 years, our products are designed for durability and refurbishability. Parts can be replaced or updated, keeping products in use longer and minimizing waste. We also provide guides on maintenance and waste handling to encourage repair over replacement.
Our products are designed with user wellbeing in mind. Our SGS Indoor Advantage Gold-certified products feature very low VOC emissions and support healthy indoor air quality.
We use responsibly selected, traceable materials that balance durability, recyclability and indoor health. We have clear targets for increasing recycled material content and improving circularity over time.
We reduce the environmental impact of our packaging by using fewer materials and choosing packaging solutions that are simple, lightweight and easy to recycle.
We are expanding our Silen Rent service, offering office pods as a rental solution. This helps reduce the need for new manufacturing and encourages reuse in a circular economy model.
EcoVadis Bronze Recognition
Silen has earned the EcoVadis Bronze rating and is now among the top 35% of companies assessed worldwide. The independent EcoVadis assessment recognizes our commitment to environmental responsibility, ethical business practices, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement.
Local renewable energy
We cover 100% of our factory's annual electricity consumption with renewable electricity, sourced from solar and wind energy as well as certified renewable energy providers across the Baltics.
We also improve energy efficiency through smart energy management.
Reducing our organisational impact
As they say – change begins at home.
Renewable energy use
Our facilities run on 100% renewable energy, significantly cutting our carbon emissions.
Energy efficiency
We implement smart energy management solutions in both our offices and production sites.
Waste reduction
We are improving our waste sorting processes and working with suppliers to reduce unnecessary packaging.
Optimizing packaging
