Operating sustainably

We uphold the highest sustainability standards across our internal operations and value chain.

Inspiring a greener, fairer approach

Hexagon actively supports and promotes the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) on the environment, labour practices, human rights and anti-corruption in its operations and in relation to external stakeholders.
