Incap Estonia: our people are the ones who make our business sustainable
For Incap Estonia, sustainability means much more than reducing emissions or improving energy efficiency. While environmental goals such as renewable energy use and recycling are important, the company also recognises that true sustainability is closely tied to people – their development, well-being, and ability to grow with the organisation.
That is why Incap Estonia places strong emphasis on employee learning and development. The company has established training plans that cover technical upskilling, leadership development, and personal growth opportunities. In 2024, employees received more than 800 hours of training in total, averaging over six hours per person. Projects such as Six Sigma training are helping to introduce new methods into daily work. Incap also collaborates with vocational schools, universities, and local partners to nurture the next generation of engineers and electronics specialists. A learning-friendly environment is seen as essential not only for business success but also for the sustainable development of the wider community.
This approach to sustainability is also reflected in how Incap supports its people individually. Employees are encouraged to continue their studies, whether directly linked to electronics or in other fields, with the company recognising that satisfied employees are key to long-term success. Internal training, mentorship, and cooperation with industry peers all contribute to a culture of continuous growth.
A good example of this is Kristi Steinberg, HR Manager at Incap Estonia, who has been actively involved in Incap’s ESG reporting and people-focused sustainability initiatives since joining in 2023. This autumn, she will take part in Tallinn University’s continuing education programme Sustainable HR Management, organised in cooperation with the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research.
“Although Incap already has a strong ESG framework in place, there is always room to improve – particularly in setting new goals for social issues or deepening the understanding of environmental impact. This programme provides a broader perspective and supports knowledge-sharing with others who are only beginning their sustainability journey,” Kristi explains.
The programme focuses on topics such as sustainable leadership, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, and aligning HR practices with wider sustainability goals. For Incap, the knowledge gained will strengthen its ability to support people, create a healthier and more motivating workplace, and ensure that sustainability is embedded in every aspect of the organisation’s culture.
Her example highlights how Incap Estonia views sustainability as an integrated effort: developing greener operations, building responsible governance, and, importantly, empowering people to grow. By combining these aspects, the company ensures that sustainability is not a separate project but part of everyday life at Incap.
