By 2030: 55% reduction in total CO2 emissions compared to 2019 baseline
55% reduction in total CO2 emissions
Our climate and energy footprint
We aim to reduce our total CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to the 2019 baseline.
Simple yet impactful actions like turning off lights to investing in solar panels and other green-energy sources help reduce our carbon footprint. We also prioritize energy-efficient machinery when making equipment choices and have entered into strategic energy agreements that align with our sustainability goals.
By 2025: 100% of local sites will have certified environmental systems with local waste and water reduction programmes
Certified environmental systems
Our waste and water footprint
We're committed to ensuring that 100% of our local sites have certified environmental systems with local waste and water reduction programmes by 2025.
Our efforts are guided by the ISO 14001 standard, which provides a framework for establishing an effective environmental management system. We're also enhancing our responsible sourcing practices.
By integrating waste and water management into our sustainability approach, we aim to achieve a comprehensive and impactful reduction in our environmental impact.
Our waste and water management strategy involves implementing initiatives from Operation Clean Sweep.
Minimizing waste throughout our supply chain is also crucial. We're doing this by following the waste reduction plans in each of our factories — sorting and recycling materials such as cardboard, wood, and metal.
By 2025: 100% reuse of all raw material plastic waste from production
Reuse of all raw material plastic waste
Our raw material footprint
We're aiming to reuse 100% of all raw material plastic waste from production by 2025.
Valuable resources are reused, not wasted. Maximizing the use of valuable resources minimizes their waste throughout our operations.
Customised programs enhance the sorting and handling of scrap at our factories. It's then distributed to our other factories for reuse. This creates a more efficient production process, in line with our sustainability goals.
Technology investment is key, too. Material separation technology means we can separate material types from co-extruded profiles. This again increases our ability to reuse our own production scrap significantly. Granulation and dosing technology allow us to process and dose scrap accurately in production.
