2023 Impact Report: Advancing Our Commitment to Better Practices 🌍 This past year has been a significant one for us as we’ve continued to push the envelope on sustainability. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve achieved: 1. B Corp Certified: We’re officially a part of the B Corp family! This marks a huge milestone in our journey, reflecting our dedication to making a positive impact on both people and the planet. 2. Two New Recycled Plastics Developed: Innovation meets sustainability with the development of two new types of recycled TPE specifically for our cables. 3. Increased Recycled Content: Our total spend on products with recycled content has grown from 66% to 70%. Every little bit counts! 4. 100% recycled Packaging: Our packaging remains 100% recycled kraft paper, printed with soy ink—staying true to our commitment to greener practices. 5. Waste Diverted & Recycled: Over the years, we’ve diverted & repurposed 4,800 kg of waste from oceans and landfills. This report isn’t just a collection of numbers; it’s a testament to our ongoing commitment to making a meaningful difference in 2023 and beyond. While we’re proud of our progress, we know there’s still much more to do. We’re far from finished, but we’ll keep pushing the boundaries to create a better tomorrow, one step at a time 👣

Last week, we proudly launched our new sub-brand: ËSSENTIALS by Upström🎊 It’s been our dream since day one to bring you tech that's as kind to your wallet as it is to the world. And now, we’ve nailed it! 🤌🏽 ËSSENTIALS is your new go-to for all things charging – think cables and power adapters that are not just made to last but made from low-impact, recycled materials. We’re talking recycled tin in our latest cables, alongside recycled PET and TPE - but without the green premium. Yep, we’re pretty excited about that! We're equally excited to share that Bilka, Salling Group, Denmark's largest hypermarket, will be the first to bring ËSSENTIALS to their shelves. From today, all 11 SKU's will be available in-store and online. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our vision to make conscious choices mainstream 💚 We believe that your tech accessories shouldn't cost the world. So we craft with care, price with fairness and package without excess. No surplus, just ËSSENTIALS. Check out the full assortment in the link below 👇🏽

Big shoutout to COMM2IG for hosting HORISONT 2024! 🎉 We had a fantastic time at HORISONT 2024 yesterday—a day packed with insightful talks, cool tech, and fantastic networking opportunities. One of the highlights was the engaging discussions on circular IT. It was inspiring to see so many IT decision-makers exploring sustainable solutions to steer our industry toward a greener future. Let's keep these great conversations going and apply what we've learned to make a real impact in our organizations. Thanks Hans Wæhrens & COMM2IG, for the invite! We're already looking forward to next year.

Big cheers and maybe a small drumroll? 🥁 We're thrilled to bits to announce that we have had our near-term science-based targets officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). So what are we committed to? 🟢 Zero Hero: We’re maintaining zero Scope 1 emissions through 2030—because who doesn’t love a clean sheet? 🟢 Chop Chop Emissions: We’re on a mission to slash our Scope 2 GHG emissions by a whopping 42% by 2030 from our 2022 levels. Snip snip! 🟢 The Whole Picture: And yes, we’re not stopping there—we’re tracking and tackling our Scope 3 emissions too. Join us as we sprint (responsibly, of course) towards a greener tomorrow! At Upström, every day is Earth Day. 🌱

I dag havde vi fornøjelsen af at besøge Silkeborg Gymnasium, hvor vi holdt et foredrag for 500 2.g elever, der skal give sig i kast med et tværfagligt projekt centreret omkring innovation og bæredygtighed. Diskussionerne og spørgsmålene, der blev rejst, vidner om en generation, der er engageret i at skabe en mere bæredygtig og innovativ fremtid. Et stort tak til Silkeborg Gymnasium for at have os og for at sætte fokus på to vigtige temaer, der bidrager til at forstå og løse de udfordringer vi allesammen står over for 🌍💚 UPSTRÖM Casper Sabir  #Bæredygtighed #Innovation #Uddannelse #SilkeborgGymnasium #Upström
