Protect and Reuse Resources

For us, environmental responsibility means that we operate in a responsible and transparent manner. It also means to continuously seek ways to optimise how we use raw materials, water and energy, as well as how to minimise the waste generated in the process.

Focus areas:
  • Lead our industry in the transition to renewable and recycled raw materials, while ensuring the highest quality standards
  • Endorse the transition to a circular economy through smart production and high product quality and durability
  • Design products for disassembly, repurposing and reuse
  • Provide full transparency on the environmental footprint of our products

Act for Climate

Sustainability is in our DNA, and environmental strategy is the core element of our corporate strategy. We are advocates of the UN’s Global Compact Business Ambition and are committed to the Science Based Targets initiative to help limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial level.

Focus areas: 
  • Environmental strategy as integral part of our corporate strategy
  • Systematically minimize the environmental impact of our operations and strive towards carbon neutrality
  • By 2030, we aim to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46%, and Scope 3 emissions by 14% (Baseline year 2019)
  • Develop solutions to help our customers to reach their environmental targets
