Responsibility for our soil

The world’s population and the need for food is increasing while access to arable land is becoming more restricted and therefor farming methods more regulated. A great responsibility lies with us as a manufacturer of agricultural machinery to support and enable the world´s farmers to produce more food in an efficient and sustainable way. Key is a good soil health that brings yield for generations. Our product development focuses on precision, maximising the potential in every process in field and in every seed. Over the years we have presented innovations taking precision planting to a new level. We have also brought solutions that reduces tillage and the usage of chemicals considerably. Reduced tillage means reduced risk for erosion and increases the possibility for carbon storage, reducing emissions.

Responsibility for our footprint

In our chain of production, we continuously work to streamline our processes and manufacturing methods to reduce waste, save energy and improve raw material use. We have committed to net zero emissions from our operations worldwide by 2045.

Our ambitions and demands on quality are high. Suppliers and materials are chosen with great care. Therefore, we take great pride in working together with an equally ambitious supplier of hardened quality steel, Swedish SSAB. Together we challenge the properties of the material to extract the best product. Our efforts have resulted in a unique composition of steel leading to machines with a long lifecycle and minimal maintenance, a hallmark for Väderstad.
