Energy management
We have started specific action plans and investments at manufacturing plants globally aimed at combatting the effects of climate change through both adaptation and mitigation initiatives. Ongoing projects include increasing renewable sources in our energy mix, installation of solar panels, and lighting and insulation systems.
We are constantly looking to diversify our energy sources, namely by working with our local suppliers to apply certifiable renewable sources of energy including installation of solar panels at our sites for self-produced renewable energy. Our total renewable energy consumed as electricity from renewable sources was 45.791 GJ or 23% of all electricity purchased and 19% of all electricity consumed.
In 2007 we started the process of certification of our manufacturing sites according to ISO 14001 standards for environmental management. In our first Sustainability Report for year 2019, we committed to have 40% of our manufacturing sites certified ISO 14001:2015 within 2022. Our achievement level for ISO 14001 is 42,1% or 8 plants certified globally.
