Sustainability and respect for the environment are at the core of our actions, partnerships, and commercial products and services in Eye Networks.
With a long-term perspective, good planning, knowledge and communication, we will follow our environmental policy and together contribute to achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals.
Recycle
We offer refurbishment as a service for many of our products. This means we take used devices and make them as good as new. This saves both costs and the environment!
Devices that turn out not to be functional are handled safely as electronic waste.
Reduce
We use environmentally friendly shipping options as much as possible: Shipments from abroad are mainly made by boat, and we avoid air freight in most cases.
More sustainable shipping options require time and planning. We have an environmental fee on devices that are not booked or forecasted at least 3 months in advance. Thus we reward customers who shop more sustainably.
Digitize
Eye Networks is a paperless business.
We rely as much as possible on digitalized processes and digital communication.
We produce minimal paper-based documentation, and our marketing materials are mainly digital and designed for reuse by our customers.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals were created to achieve a better and more sustainable future for everyone and address global challenges around poverty and inequality, climate and environment, prosperity, peace and justice. At Eye Networks we have chosen to focus on the following four goals:
Good education
Acquiring a good education is the basis for improving people’s lives and ensuring sustainable development.
Equality
Equality is not only a basic human right, but a necessary basis for a peaceful, well-functioning and sustainable world.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Investments in infrastructure are essential to achieve sustainable development.
Responsible production and consumption
By raising awareness of responsible production and consumption, a circle is formed that ensures sustainable development.
