• SUSTAINING THE PLANET

Accepting responsibility for our impact on the climate and environment is a crucial part of our path forward. Under the Sustain the Planet pillar, we bring together our efforts to reduce climate emissions, use resources more efficiently, and transition towards a more circular way of operating.

Our work is driven by four focus areas: sustainable materials, energy consumption, transportation, and waste as a resource. By increasing the use of sustainable materials, switching to more renewable energy sources, improving transport efficiency, and making better use of production residuals, we are taking concrete steps towards lower climate impact.

The challenges vary across different parts of our operations – but the ambition is shared. With clear targets and milestones leading up to 2030, we are working systematically to contribute to a more sustainable society and, ultimately, to preserve the planet we all depend on.

The Group's environmental work is also governed through our Environmental Policy.

RECYCLABLE LIGHTWEIGHTS

Using a new method, lightweight products are being created from a 100% recyclable plastic material.

In addition to the positive environmental aspect, the method entails a reduction in weight, higher sound absorption capacity and better heat insulation for the products.
