Sustainability

Our impact

Dynavox Group’s communication aids change the lives of people with disabilities by enabling greater independence. They also bring substantial relief to family members, communities, healthcare systems and society as a whole. Those using our technology gain valuable rights by having a voice.

A sustainable business model

Dynavox Group drives the growth of the assistive communication market, primarily through Tobii Dynavox, our world-leading brand in assistive communication solutions. As we scale our business, we are committed to doing so responsibly, ensuring long-term social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

We integrate our products, services, and expertise available across the organization with a strong focus on sustainable innovation. In this work, we prioritize the development of accessible, durable, and energy-efficient assistive technologies, reducing our environmental footprint while maximizing impact.

Our sustainability strategy

At Dynavox Group, our approach to sustainability is guided by four strategic pillars that reflect our values and drive our long-term ESG impact:

  • Empowering voices, through access to assistive communication
  • Respect for planet, by reducing our environmental impact
  • Empowering people, by prioritizing employee well-being and growth
  • Acting with integrity, through ethical and transparent business practices

Guided by these priorities, we are committed to embedding sustainability considerations into every aspect of our operations, striving to become a truly sustainable company.

Our sustainability goals

We contribute directly to several of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, which form the core of our sustainability strategy. Our communication aids have so far helped hundreds of thousands of people, enabling them to gain literacy, use a digital voice, and access computers with just their eyes. Our main areas where we have the most positive impact are represented by UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4 and 10.

Our six focus areas:

#3 Good health & well-being

We empower those who use our solutions to make their voice heard and be more independent, impacting their well-being and the lives of those around them.

#4 Quality education

We help students with disabilities learn literacy skills via inclusive communication solutions designed for both the special education classroom and home schooling.

#8 Decent work & economic growth

We enable more people with disabilities to work and study, contributing to the economy and reducing healthcare costs while improving the work environment of our own employees and those working across our supply chain.

#10 Reduced inequalities

We create conditions for inclusion in society by enabling those with disabilities to communicate and use the same technology as everyone else.

#12 Responsible consumption & production

We make products that consume as little energy as possible while allowing for repair and replacement of components to extend their life cycle.

#13 Climate action

We commit to reducing our environmental impact and strive to reduce CO2 emissions from office energy consumption, product transport and business travel.

Solutions that change lives

Dynavox Group creates assistive communication solutions that directly improve the well-being and inclusion in society of hundreds of thousands of people and potentially millions more.

Furthermore, our solutions for the special education classroom also help students with disabilities learn to read and write and provide them with a voice so that they are not excluded from the mainstream education system, whether in the classroom or at home.

Our special education software, Boardmaker, helps millions of students with learning challenges by drawing on our library of over 89,000 Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) for effective communication, inclusive learning, and customized education programs for students with disabilities.

Expanding access to communication

In 2025, we made significant strides in advancing our mission by exceeding our 2025 target of 25%, reaching 28% in the number of comprehensive communication solutions sold.

A sustainable work environment

As a business, Dynavox Group has the opportunity to drive inclusion in society. As an employer, naturally this extends to our own workplace as well.

We have a desire and obligation to contribute to greater equality and representation in our organization, which entails having a diverse workforce in terms of skills, nationality, class, age, gender, disability, culture, family background, ethnicity, sexual orientation and everything else that makes us unique as human beings. We strive to better reflect this diversity among our employees in order to add new perspectives to our business. In this way, we can better understand the varied perspectives of our customers, adapt our solutions and make an even greater difference to people around the world.  

As an employer, Dynavox Group also directly impacts our employees’ safety, work environment and development opportunities via our health and safety policies and procedures, and indirectly across our supply chain, through our supplier code of conduct. We also focus on a sustainable work-life balance with a hybrid work-from-home model available to all employees.

Our employees’ satisfaction shows in our latest eSAT score of 78, which translates to 83% of Dynavox Group employees feeling positive about working for the organization.

 

Diversity and inclusion

We aim to create an organization that mirrors the markets in which we operate and serves as an exemplary workplace for all employees, also those with disabilities and those who are neurodiverse.

Diversity for us means having a diverse workforce in terms of skills, nationality, class, age, gender, disability, culture, family background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and everything else that makes us unique as human beings.

At Dynavox Group, we continuously strive to strengthen our diversity. Our workforce already comprises individuals with diverse skills and backgrounds from around the world. Moreover, we maintain a balanced gender ratio and a broad age range across our entire organization.

Our 2025 targets

  • Increase the share of underrepresented employee groups amongst both managers and employees to better reflect the markets in which we operate.
  • Launch a program to be recognized as a good workplace for employees with disabilities and neurodiverse employees.
  • Create training programs based on roles. Offering a selection designed to suit the majority of employees.
  • Provide employees with access to individual skills training based on personal development needs.
  • Being a workplace where internal mobility is as important as external mobility.
  • Establish a global health and support program to help employees take care of their mental and physical health.

Environment and climate

In addition to our core social mission, Dynavox Group considers environmental and climate responsibility as important elements of our broader sustainability approach. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by adopting sustainable practices, optimizing resource use, and operating with integrity.

In 2025, we made progress in improving our environmental performance by reducing our emission intensity. Emission intensity decreased from 8.83 tCO₂e/SEK million in 2024 to 8.08 in 2025, representing a year-on-year reduction of approximately 8.5%.

This improvement reflects continued advancements in operational efficiency and disciplined execution of our sustainability initiatives. Additionally, our revenue growth outpaced the increase in total emissions, demonstrating our ability to scale the business while lowering the carbon intensity of our operations.

Our progress is driven by ongoing efforts across key operational areas. Broad-based initiatives such as optimizing logistics, improving business travel practices, and transitioning our vehicle fleet to more sustainable solutions have collectively contributed to a meaningful reduction in our overall emissions.

Our next target is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity (tCO₂e per SEK million in net revenue) by 10% compared with 2025. This will be achieved through the following decarbonization initiatives:

  • Implementation of a Global Car Policy across all regions, ensuring that new vehicles and long-term leases are electric or hybrid, while progressively transitioning the existing fleet to lower-emission alternatives
  • Increased use of renewable electricity in our own operations
  • Launch of a Green Business Travel Policy in 2026, targeting a 5–10% reduction in travel-related emissions and costs per employee while supporting broader sustainability objectives
  • Continued development of a more sustainable transport and logistics approach, including the use of lower-emission transport modes, improved route efficiency, shipment consolidation, and closer collaboration with transport partners
  • Further strengthening of our sustainable supplier management program

Our product lifecycle

Dynavox Group is committed to minimizing environmental impact through responsible resource management across the entire product lifecycle, from sourcing to end-of-life. We prioritize eco-design by reducing energy use in production and product operation. Our durable, modular products are built for easy repair, upgrades, and part replacement to extend their lifespan.

Our customers can return products to our offices in Sweden and the US for responsible disposal. To reduce waste, we repair returned or faulty units and loan them out instead of discarding them. We also improve packaging by using more recycled materials, optimizing design to lower shipping emissions, and replacing cardboard with reusable cases. Printed materials have been replaced with digital guides to cut paper use.

2026 Targets

  • Reduce GHG emissions intensity: Achieve a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity (tCO₂e per net revenue) compared with 2025, in line with our 1.5°C ambition.
  • Strengthen sustainable product design: Further integrate circular economy and sustainability principles into new product development through a more structured and consistent approach.
  • Advance supplier sustainability: Enhance and further formalize our Supplier Sustainability Management Program to support net-zero ambitions and ensure a consistent and transparent framework for supplier evaluation and oversight.
  • Implement sustainable packaging plan: Initiate and operationalize the first phase of our five-year Packaging Eco-Design and Prevention Plan, transitioning toward more sustainable packaging solutions.

Business ethics

Dynavox Group has implemented a range of policies supporting the ethical conduct of our business. Fulfilling our vision and mission requires ethical conduct in everything we do, at every level of the company.

Code of Conduct

The Dynavox Group Code of Conduct defines our business ethics principles. It is based on the UN Global Compact, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, EU Market Abuse Regulation, the Nasdaq rule book, and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

The Code of Conduct is a framework for key policies, including the Anti-Corruption Policy, Information Policy, and Whistleblower Policy. It also includes the Information Security Policy, Insider Policy, Export Control Policy, and Environmental Policy. These policies help guide ethical decision-making and regulatory compliance across the organization.

To embed these principles into our culture, Code of Conduct training is mandatory in our employee onboarding program. In 2025, we achieved a 79% completion rate.

Whistleblower reporting

Dynavox Group strives to maintain a transparent business climate and high business ethics. For us, it’s obvious to value the safety and respect of everyone affected by our business. 

Our external whistleblowing channel serves as an early warning system to mitigate risks. It plays a crucial role in promoting high ethical standards and maintaining customer and public confidence in our organization. The service allows individuals to report serious risks of wrongdoing that impacts people, our organization, society, or the environment. Reports can include information about criminal offenses, irregularities, violations, or other actions that breach EU or national laws within a work-related context.

The Dynavox Group Supplier Code of Conduct is based on the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct, which is an industry standard for companies in the electronics industry, and includes human and labor rights, anti-corruption and the environment and climate. Both our own Code of Conduct and the Supplier Code of Conduct state that all employees should have freedom of association. All new employees complete training in the Code of Business Conduct.

Ethical data practices

We are committed to protecting personal data through strong security measures and a comprehensive Data Privacy Policy that goes beyond compliance to promote ethical data handling. In 2024, we focused on enhancing transparency, documentation, and adapting to new privacy regulations, with 93% of employees completing privacy training. As we grow through acquisitions, our 2025 priorities include integrating new entities into our privacy program and strengthening our response capabilities for data rights, breaches, and crisis management.

Our commitment to cybersecurity

At Dynavox Group, we recognize the critical importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding our operations, data, and stakeholders. To maintain a strong security posture, we have implemented key cybersecurity practices, including regular mandatory training for employees and internal cybersecurity assessments or audits to proactively identify and mitigate risks.

To ensure a structured approach to incident response, we have an incident management policy and procedures in place to effectively address and resolve cybersecurity threats or breaches. While governance structures for cybersecurity management are partially established, we continue to enhance oversight and strategic alignment to strengthen our cybersecurity framework.
