Planet

We are committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the latest climate science and the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.



 

Our ambitions

Climate neutrality

To have climate neutral operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, by using climate neutral energy and neutralize residual emissions.

Eco design

To develop our products with eco design in mind, including a long lifetime, low carbon footprint and high recyclability.

Transparency

To calculate the product carbon footprint of our products produced in-house and share with our customers upon request.

Check out a few selected key metrics and targets for our focus area Planet. For the full progress, please visit our latest Sustainability Report.

Our own operations

How we get there

  • Increase the use of climate neutral energy in our facilities and production sites.
  • Energy efficiency, e.g. use excess heat from production to heat facilities.
  • Transition to electric, hybrid, and/or biofuels for internal logistics vehicles, stationary equipment, and company cars. E.g. electrification of vehicle fleets and forklifts, replacing natural gas boilers and furnaces with heat pumps.
  • Embedding circularity into our operations, product design, packaging and logistics services, e.g. drum return programs.
  • Product design with less material consumption, increase recycled, reused and/or renewable materials in our products and packaging.
  • Circular water use, e.g. with closed water cooling systems.
  • High resource efficiency across our operations. These levers are also applicable to many of our suppliers.

Our value chain

How we get there

  • Request strategic suppliers to declare their product carbon footprint and work towards the 1.5°C target.
  • Support suppliers to reduce their product carbon footprint.
  • Evaluate carbon footprint of purchased materials and products prior to sourcing decision.
  • Optimization of pack sizes and drums, coordinating product deliveries, improving forecasting,
    and establishing local production to reduce goods transport.
  • Use low-carbon transport alternatives.
  • Partnering with strategic organizations on ecosystem health.
  • Phasing in novel products that use less resources, and materials with lower carbon footprints.
