永續發展
「美妙的聲音應該帶來鼓舞，而不是造成危害。這就是 KEF 在各個方面都追求卓越的原因——我們不僅對揚聲器的品質精益求精，對我們揚聲器的製造方式也一絲不苟。我們不斷改進我們的 ESG 策略，持續尋找新的方法以減少對社會及環境的影響，與當地社群建立更緊密的關係，並為我們的員工提供支援。」
—— Grace Lo，KEF 主席兼全球行銷主管
我們意識到，氣候變化和永續發展是當今企業面臨的幾項最亟待解決的挑戰。作為音響界令人引以為傲的卓越先驅，自 1961 年以來，我們一直踐行著打造創新、屢獲殊榮的揚聲器的使命，讓房間內縈繞著動聽的音樂。在這一創新傳統的基礎上，我們不斷努力，盡可能減少我們的環境足跡，並在整個營運過程中及其他方面的工作中盡可能發揮積極的社會影響，同時我們亦了解到，永續發展是一個需要共同承擔責任、盡心竭力和持續改進的過程。我們的願景是透過採用綠色能源、現代化製造設施和負責任的創新來改善生活品質，這是 KEF 不斷取得成功的關鍵。本聲明概述了我們的環境和社會承諾及價值觀、我們已採取的實際行動以及我們要努力實現的遠大目標。同時，它也是一個指導框架，指導我們如何將永續發展融入我們的營運、決策和文化。
地球環境
我們深知，我們的一舉一動，從使用的材料到消耗的能源，都會對環境產生影響。我們承諾會採取更永續的做法，減少我們的碳足跡，節約資源，保護生物多樣性。
Climate change presents an existential threat to organisations in all sectors and geographies. Businesses must respond to these risks and opportunities by ensuring that proactive strategic planning is embedded into decision-making processes. We take this seriously and are committed to mitigating the impact of our operations on the climate.
We began mapping our carbon footprint in 2022 across scopes 1 and 2. In future, we plan to continue improving data completeness by working with sites to enhance the measurement and reporting of emissions to ensure no gaps. We also have a target in place to start collecting data relating to our scope 3 emissions. We understand the importance of considering the impact of both our direct and indirect emissions.
Reducing our emissions is a pressing priority. Emissions data collection will allow us to better understand our emissions footprint and put in place measurable targets around energy efficiency. We have also set targets to identify and reduce the climate risks associated with our supply chain and to put in place a climate change mitigation and adaptation programme.

員工
員工和團隊是我們品牌營運的中流砥柱。我們明白，作為一個品牌，我們擁有巨大機會可以對我們開展業務以及與我們有業務往來的社群產生積極的影響。
我們對永續發展的承諾不僅僅包括我們的環境責任，還包括員工、供應商和客戶的社會福祉，以及促進在更廣大的社群中產生積極的社會影響。
氣候變化對所有行業和地區的組織都構成了生存威脅。企業必須確保將積極的策略規劃納入決策過程，進而應對這些風險和機遇。我們對此十分重視，並且致力於減輕我們的營運對氣候的影響。
我們從 2022 年開始繪製我們範疇 1 和範疇 2 的碳足跡圖。未來，我們計劃透過與不同的工廠合作來加強對排放量的測量和報告，從而不斷提高資料的完整性，確保消除資料空白。我們還制定了一個目標，開始收集範疇 3排放的相關資料。我們了解將直接和間接排放納入考量的重要性。
減少排放是我們目前的當務之急。收集排放資料讓我們能夠更好地了解我們的排放足跡，並制定可衡量的能源效率目標。另外，我們還設立了多個目標，旨在確定和降低與我們的供應鏈相關的氣候風險並制定氣候變化減緩和應對計劃。
負責任的廢棄物管理是我們環境承諾的核心工作。我們已經付出了巨大的努力，旨在盡可能減少廢棄物的產生，推廣回收再利用的做法，並減少廢棄物處置對環境的影響。我們知道仍有更多工作要做，持續不斷對我們的流程進行評估，以便發現並消除在整個營運過程中和供應鏈上產生的廢棄物。
一直以來，包裝也是我們關注的環境議題中的一個重要元素。我們對 Blade、Reference 和 LS60 Wireless等產品的包裝重新進行設計，減少了它們的佔地面積，從而降低了運輸時的廢氣排放量，同時，我們將 KC62的泡沫塑膠包裝替換為經過認證的紙漿包裝。我們的英國包裝供應商使用第三方認證來確保以負責任的方式採購 KEF包裝所用的紙板材料。我們在不斷探索減少和消除包裝材料中塑膠和泡沫塑膠的方法，包括使用 HRC 泡沫包裝我們的 Blade 和 Reference產品，該包裝材料中含有 65% 的再生材料。
我們可以透過翻新的方式讓產品煥發新生，減少廢棄物的產生並保護我們的地球。我們的認證翻新計劃保證了 KEF音響的品質，每一件翻新產品均經過嚴格的認證，以確保其符合性能和品質標準。
此計劃具有諸多優勢，讓客戶可以獲得功能和外觀與新產品相當但價格較低且更易獲得的高品質產品。翻新還可以延長產品的使用壽命，讓產品擺脫成為垃圾填埋的命運，而且材料和能源的使用量也低於從頭製造的材料和能源消耗量，從而減少對環境的影響。
KEF is a global brand serving a diverse community of sound makers and aficionados from every segment and every corner of the planet. Our communications must engage with and be relatable to all of our audiences. We take great pride in producing communications that reflect the rainbow of nationalities and individuals that the brand so enjoys sharing the magic of great sound with.
Created and curated by KEF, Sound of Life fosters a community of curious connoisseurs through the lens of sound. Our guide on what to watch, read and listen to in our world of sound was built with the aim of supporting sound makers and creators and shining a spotlight on pioneering thinkers who forge new paths in their respective fields.
In addition, our global Experience Locations offer spaces for our community of creators, makers and artists to collaborate on immersive, high-fidelity experiences together in one space. Other initiatives include collaborations with various artists to design t-shirts with proceeds going to Music Will and the London to Brighton bike ride to raise money for Together for Cinema.
治理與問責
我們致力於營造一個互相支援的環境，讓所有員工都感到自己受到重視和尊重，並且能夠充分發揮自己的潛力。我們的包容性就業政策和員工行為準則體現了我們對履行企業社會責任所付出的努力。
過去三年來，我們參加了由婦女工程學會 (Women’s Engineering Society)發起的工作見習倡議，該倡議力求將女性學員（女學生和之前沒有工程工作經驗的女性）與能夠提供實習機會的公司配對。此倡議提供機會予對工程有興趣的女性及女學生，讓她們能夠參觀真實的工程活動，增加對不同工程學科的了解，拓寬人際關係網路，並了解真實的工作環境，有助於針對女性學員的工程學推廣。
我們對維護高標準人權和道德勞動實踐的承諾也涵蓋我們的供應鏈，確保我們採購的產品和服務是在公平條件下生產的。 2025 年，我們的重點工作是制定供應商行為準則，該準則將成為一套涵蓋勞動和人權、環境責任和道德商業行為的綜合標準。我們還計劃對我們的主要供應商進行審計，以評估我們的供應鏈是否符合對KEF 這樣的製造企業至關重要的永續發展要求，旨在滿足不斷變化的消費者需求，降低環境風險，提高營運效率，並建立永續發展的未來。
我們對客戶福祉的承諾不僅僅局限於我們產品的功能。確保整個產品生命週期內消費者的健康和安全也是我們優先考慮的事項。這一重點工作與嚴格的資料私隱和保護方針相輔相成。我們了解保護客戶資訊的重要性，並採取一切必要的措施來確保其安全。
