2025 Sustainability Report: Our ESG Score, GRI Results, and What Changes Next

2025 Sustainability Report: Our ESG Score, GRI Results, and What Changes Next

This is our 2025 sustainability update, built on measurable metrics: total energy use, estimated CO₂ impact, and ESG assessment results with a detailed theme breakdown. We also document a local action—4 Ficus trees planted—and provide transparent, approximate CO₂ uptake ranges over time. Our goal is simple: publish the numbers, learn from them, and turn them into better implementation in 2026.

Content

At HOKEN TECH we publish a yearly sustainability update to share transparent, data-driven information about our energy consumption, CO₂ impact, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) progress. We do this for accountability toward customers and partners — and because measurement is the foundation for meaningful improvement.

We operate in a digital-first environment (including blockchain-based components). We’re aware that technology choices can have environmental implications, which is why we monitor our footprint and continuously improve our processes year over year.

Energy use & CO₂ impact (2025)

For 2025, our dashboard reports a total energy consumption of 969.89 kWh, with an estimated cost of €135.78. The associated footprint is 376 kg CO₂, reported as equivalent to 28.1 trees needed for absorption.

For accessibility, the dashboard also provides equivalences: this impact is comparable to a light bulb left on for 2,020 days, or driving 2,688.0 km with similar CO₂ emissions.

Year-over-year comparison (2024 baseline)

In 2024 we reported approximately 311 kWh, about 121 kg CO₂, and an equivalence of 9 trees for absorption. In 2025, the reported values are higher (roughly +212% vs 2024 for both energy and CO₂). This increase can be driven by multiple factors (e.g., higher operational activity, different measurement scope, or infrastructure changes).

What matters most is that we measure, publish, and turn insights into actions — with clear priorities and accountability.

ESG results — third-party sustainability assessment 

The new sustainability assessment places HOKEN TECH at an overall maturity level of “Advanced”. The headline ESG scores are:

From a process standpoint, our strongest dimensions are planning and measurement, while the most challenging area is typically implementation — especially on the environmental side. This is valuable because it translates ESG from “statements” into an operational roadmap.

Reporting frameworks (UNI, SDGs, GRI)

In 2024 we referenced:

Frameworks & reporting: data status

Framework 2024 Latest report Status
UNI 134:2022 “Excellent” (43–48) “Excellent” (43–48) up to date
SDGs (Agenda 2030) Compatible with 11/17 Compatible with 12/17 up to date
GRI 70% / 100% / 83% 74% / 100% / 83% up to date

In the most recent report, the GRI compatibility is:

Dimension 2024 Latest report Δ
Environmental 70% 74% +4 pp
Social 100% 100% 0 pp

This indicates an improvement in Environmental GRI coverage, while Social and Governance remain stable at a strong level.

Local action

In 2025 we planted 4 Ficus australis (small-leaf) as a tangible, local contribution alongside our measurement and governance work.

Because tree sequestration depends heavily on climate, age, survival rate, and maintenance, the numbers below are approximate, order-of-magnitude estimates. A common practical range for a small-to-medium urban tree once established is roughly 10–25 kg CO₂ per year.

Estimated CO₂ uptake — 4 Ficus (approx.)

The values below are indicative ranges. Actual sequestration depends on location, growth, survival rate and maintenance. We use a practical “once established” range of ~10–25 kg CO₂ per tree per year.

20 years ~0.72 t CO₂ ~1.08 t CO₂ ~1.82 t CO₂
30 years ~1.12 t CO₂ ~1.68 t CO₂ ~2.82 t CO₂

Method (simple illustrative model): lower uptake in early years, then “once established” uptake thereafter. This is meant for communication and should not be used as a formal offset claim.

Our 2026 priorities

Based on the assessment insights, our 2026 focus areas are:

  • Circularity: stronger practices and metrics (assets, procurement, reuse).

  • Environmental implementation: turning plans and KPIs into owned, time-bound projects.

  • Human capital: strengthening training, growth, and people processes.

  • Digital for environmental sustainability: better tooling and automation to measure and reduce impact more granularly.

What is Hoken Tech’s Sustainability Report 2025?

Hoken Tech’s Sustainability Report 2025 is a structured disclosure of the company’s environmental performance and ESG commitments. It summarizes key indicators such as energy consumption, CO₂ impact, and the results of ESG assessment frameworks. The goal is to improve transparency and help stakeholders understand progress year over year.

Which ESG topics are covered in the report?

The report focuses primarily on the Environmental pillar (energy use, emissions, mitigation actions) and connects this to broader ESG measurement outcomes. It also includes the outcomes of standardized assessment approaches (e.g., sustainability ratings) to contextualize performance. This makes it useful both as a narrative and as a metrics-based document.

How does Hoken Tech measure its energy consumption (kWh)?

Energy consumption is typically tracked in kilowatt-hours (kWh) using utility bills, meter readings, and internal monitoring. The report consolidates these values to provide an annual total and often compares them to previous years. This helps identify trends, efficiency gains, and areas needing improvement.

What does “CO₂ impact” mean in the Sustainability Report?

CO₂ impact refers to the estimated greenhouse gas emissions associated with operations—commonly expressed as CO₂ or CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent). It is generally calculated by applying emission factors to activity data (like electricity consumption). Reporting CO₂ impact supports carbon management planning and decarbonization strategy.

Is Hoken Tech working to reduce its carbon footprint?

Yes—based on the report’s emphasis on energy and CO₂ metrics, Hoken Tech’s approach is aligned with a carbon footprint reduction strategy. Typical actions include improving energy efficiency, optimizing operations, and supporting environmental initiatives. Reduction progress is assessed by monitoring year-over-year indicators.

What sustainability standards or frameworks are referenced (GRI, SDGs, UNIQ 134:2022)?

The report aligns with widely recognized sustainability frameworks, including GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and SDGs (UN Sustainable Development Goals), and references UNIQ 134:2022 as part of sustainability rating context. These frameworks help ensure disclosures are more comparable and credible. They also strengthen stakeholder confidence by using recognized reporting structures.

What is an ESG assessment and why does it matter?

An ESG assessment is a structured evaluation of a company’s performance across environmental, social, and governance factors. It matters because investors, partners, and customers increasingly use ESG signals to evaluate risk, resilience, and long-term value. Including ESG assessments in the report makes performance easier to benchmark.

How do trees help with sustainability goals (and does planting trees reduce CO₂)?

Trees support sustainability goals by contributing to carbon sequestration, improving local biodiversity, and enhancing environmental awareness. However, tree planting is generally best viewed as a supporting action, not a substitute for emissions reductions at the source. In the long term, trees can contribute meaningful cumulative CO₂ absorption when properly maintained.

How much CO₂ can the new Ficus trees absorb over time?

Based on the estimates discussed, a Ficus can absorb roughly ~10–25 kg CO₂ per year per tree, depending on growth conditions and maturity. Over decades, this can accumulate substantially, especially across multiple trees. Real-world outcomes vary with climate, watering, soil, and survival rate.

What’s the difference between carbon footprint reduction and carbon offsetting?

Reduction means lowering emissions from operations (e.g., using less electricity or switching to lower-carbon energy). Offsetting means compensating for emissions via external projects (like reforestation or verified carbon credits). Strong sustainability strategies prioritize reductions first, then use offsets for residual emissions.

How often should ESG and environmental metrics be updated?

Most organizations publish and refresh sustainability metrics annually, with internal monitoring more frequently (monthly or quarterly) for operational control. Annual reporting supports consistent year-over-year comparisons and clear accountability. More frequent updates can be shared through blog posts or short ESG progress notes.
