International takes Lagercrantz’s model for decentralised development of niche technology companies to the international market and consists of specialised product companies and value-adding distributors in marine applications, industrial components and infrastructure.
Sustainability issues in focus
Critical technology with a global reach
International’s companies contribute to societal benefit by delivering technical solutions for demanding and safety-critical environments. The companies manufacture, among other things, robust monitors and watertight doors, hatches and storage units that work in challenging environments in the marine industry, defence and industrial production. The division also supports critical societal functions through distribution of technologies for railway infrastructure, hearing aids as well as sensors for measuring air quality.
Reduced climate impact
The largest part of the division’s emissions is linked to the purchase of materials, followed by inbound and outbound transports. To reduce climate impact, the division’s companies are working to develop products with a lower CO2 footprint and they are reviewing freight and, where possible, switching from air freight to sea and rail transportation. Within the division’s own operations, electricity consumption and vehicles are the most significant areas. Here, a continued transition to fossil-free electricity is planned as well as more environmentally friendly fuel or electric power for vehicles.
Outcome 2024
-
43% reduced climate impact from own production relative to base year 2020, explained by lower consumption, an improved electricity and district heating mix in the larger companies and the transition from diesel-powered to electric vehicles.
-
32% (28%) fossil-free energy.
-
Scope 3 has decreased by 30%, explained by the product mix at one of the larger distribution companies.
