Sustainability
Cell Impact’s reason for existing
Cell Impact’s products and high-tech manufacturing processes provide solutions to the planet’s greatest climate challenge: to reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. Sustainability is therefore the company’s raison d’être and the foundation of Cell Impact’s mission and offering.
Cell Impact’s mission is to revolutionize the global energy system and combat the climate change that threatens the planet. With its environmentally friendly and scalable technology, Cell Impact offers the hydrogen society solutions to the significant challenges related to producing flow plates on a large scale. Otherwise, there is a risk that the already urgent transformation of the global energy system will be delayed.
Cell Impact’s flow plates are attractive to manufacturers of electrolyzers and fuel cells. When the electrolysis process is powered by electricity from renewable sources, the result is sustainable, green hydrogen with a very low climate impact. Green hydrogen is an energy source that can be used in fuel cells where the energy in the hydrogen is extracted and the only emission is water.
By developing and manufacturing flow plates for fuel cells and electrolyzers, Cell Impact is contributing to the green transition.
For Cell Impact, sustainability also includes how the company does business and reduces its own climate impact. Cell Impact views sustainable business practices as a moral obligation and the company is convinced that they are also necessary to ensure a sustainable future for the company, its stakeholders and society at large. Cell Impact’s sustainability initiatives should have a positive impact on the company’s competitiveness and contribute to long-term sustainable economic growth.
This is why sustainability also involves how the business ensures long-term delivery capability. For Cell Impact, it means that the company shall strive to be an attractive employer for existing and potential employees and ensure the efficient use of both human and natural resources. Cell Impact aims to offer a sustainable work environment that fosters wellbeing, satisfaction and development.
Cell Impact’s opportunities to achieve stable long-term growth in a somewhat immature and rapidly-evolving industry depend on its ability to quickly adapt skills to market needs, remain curious and innovative and be easy to do business with. This requires an open and safe culture with diverse people and backgrounds Constantly developing people and the business is crucial for Cell Impact to dare to challenge and be challenged.
