Technologie met een kleinere voetafdruk
Als duurzaam bedrijf richt SKIKK zich steeds meer op ecologische en milieuvriendelijke producten – gemaakt met respect voor mens en planeet.
Onze impact tot nu toe
- Bomen beschermd & geplant met WNF
- CO₂-besparing & compensatie sinds 2021
- Focus op repareerbaarheid & herbruikbare onderdelen
Trees protected / planted with WWF
5.238 (31.428 m²)
Dit zijn bomen die beschermd of geplant worden samen met WNF in bossen die duurzaam worden beheerd – geen productiebossen.
CO₂-besparing & compensatie
Totaal compensatie (2025) : 103.018,63 KG
Totaal compensatie : 426.142,75 KG
Sinds januari 2021 besparen en compenseren we CO₂ door het gebruik van duurzamere materialen, productiemethoden en bosbeschermingsprojecten.
Plant 1 biljoen bomen samen met WNF
Samen met WNF werken we aan levende bossen en een leefbare planeet. Ons gezamenlijke langetermijndoel: vóór 2050 één biljoen bomen beschermen of planten.
Veel bedrijven gebruiken productiebossen als greenwashing. Wij niet. De bomen die wij samen met WNF beschermen en planten, worden beheerd als echte bossen die gezond en levendig moeten blijven – niet als houtplantages.
Elk SKIKK-systeem kan met bomen komen
Wanneer je een SKIKK-laptop of desktop koopt, kun je ervoor kiezen om via WWF één of meerdere bomen te laten planten die bedoeld zijn om hun leven lang gezond te blijven. Jij bepaalt hoeveel bomen je toevoegt — zowel tijdens je aankoop als op een later moment — zodat je op jouw manier extra CO₂ kunt compenseren.
Een gemiddelde laptop die draait op “grijze” stroom veroorzaakt ongeveer evenveel CO₂ per jaar als één boom kan opnemen in biomassa en zuurstof. Door dit voor minimaal één jaar te compenseren, gebruik je je laptop met een gerust gevoel — wetende dat jouw keuze actief bijdraagt aan een betere leefomgeving.

Our forest ambitions for 2030
Together with partners like WWF and our customers, we want to contribute to ambitious global forest goals:
- 50% of all forests worldwide are protected or well managed;
- Deforestation has stopped;
- 350 million hectares of forest have been restored.
Protecting areas
We strive to create protected areas and to help manage them properly. This includes involving local communities in stewardship, training rangers and providing essential tools like radio equipment.
Forest restoration
We support forest restoration where it is needed most. That means restoring soil, planting trees and protecting these regions. In doing so we help species like elephants, jaguars and orangutans by reconnecting isolated forest reserves.
Sustainable production & research
Sustainable production, trade & agriculture
Outside protected areas, we encourage responsible forest use. Together with local communities, sustainable methods are developed for forestry, fishing and products like Brazil nuts, coffee and rubber — reducing the need to clear forests for agriculture or livestock.
Research & early warning
Effective nature conservation starts with understanding what needs protection and whether our methods still work. That’s why research is done on species, populations and habitats.
With tools like Early Warning Systems (EWS) we can predict where illegal deforestation is likely to occur — so that authorities and partners can intervene in time and even prevent it.
Completely recycled – that is our goal
We aim to make the best products with the highest quality materials. When existing materials do not meet our standards for purity and reliability, we look for new solutions. One example is the special magnesium alloy used for housings in the SKIKK Green and LYNX series — designed to be recyclable without sacrificing quality.
Paper
All paper we use is responsibly produced. Fibres come from recycled or renewable sources and are not bleached with harsh chemicals. Invoices are sent as PDF by email, and receipts are printed on BPA-free thermal paper. When new fibres are needed, suppliers source wood from responsibly managed forests.
Packaging
We use environmentally friendly packaging: recycled cardboard boxes, unbleached recycled paper and eco-friendly tape. Packaging materials from suppliers are reused whenever possible. We also actively encourage suppliers to use sustainable and reusable materials.
Waste
Waste is carefully sorted and offered separately for recycling — for example, cardboard boxes that cannot be reused. In this way we minimize landfill and support circular processing.
Renewable electricity
Our Experience Center, office and data center run on 100% renewable electricity from Vattenfall (formerly NUON), which is committed to the goal of “fossil-free living within one generation”.
“At Vattenfall, we put all our energy into achieving that one goal: fossil-free living within one generation. It’s a big challenge, but step by step we’re producing more fossil-free energy and making a real difference.”
Reusable parts & right to repair
Many customers already own components such as RAM or SSDs that can be reused in their next laptop. We actively promote buying a new system without these parts and reusing existing ones — reducing overconsumption and electronic waste.
We believe products should last longer. If they break, they should be repairable. That requires products designed for repair. SKIKK’s philosophy is that customers have the right to open, upgrade, downgrade and repair their devices. We are working to improve this further, for example by publishing repair manuals online.
Groener verzenden
We gebruiken PostNL en UPS als onze standaard logistieke partners. PostNL streeft ernaar om alle logistiek-gerelateerde CO₂-uitstoot tegen 2040 met 100% te verminderen, en UPS tegen 2050. Door het minimaliseren van fossiele brandstoffen en het optimaliseren van logistiek en transport spelen PostNL en UPS een leidende rol in duurzame logistiek — en wij kiezen ervoor om deel uit te maken van die verandering.
Responsibility throughout the chain
We set high standards for ourselves and our suppliers in labour and human rights, health and safety, environmental practices and responsible sourcing of raw materials. Where necessary, suppliers are repeatedly reminded and supported to meet these expectations.
People first – inside and outside SKIKK
We believe we can only reach our ambitions if employees can truly be themselves. SKIKK is proud to be an LGBTQ-friendly company. With diverse perspectives and talents, we are more creative, more innovative and better equipped to understand and serve our customers.
Sustainable banking
With ING’s Terra approach, we also choose sustainable banking and financing, aligning our financial decisions with climate goals.
Healthy food
At our headquarters, fresh fruit is available for all employees. As much as possible, this fruit is organic and comes from local farmers — supporting both health and local, sustainable agriculture.
