Climate Goals & Targets
Medium-term Goals:
- Reduce absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 40% by 2030 (from a 2023 base year).
- Consume 100% renewable energy by 2030.
- Achieve a 20% increase in average training hours per employee by 2030 (compared to 2020).
- Conduct three supplier audits each year to monitor compliance and ensure sustainability due diligence.
- Have 50% of strategic suppliers sign the Supplier Code of Conduct.
Short-term Goals:
- Enhance and expand data collection for all emission scopes in 2025.
- 100% implementation of rainwater recuperation systems by 2026.
- Improved communication of reporting channels by end of 2024.
- Fully defining and implementing different pay grade levels to ensure fair payment by mid-2025.
- Fully implementing and communicating the new training programme policy by the end of 2024.
Environmental Challenges
- Addressing environmental concerns associated with chemicals containing fluor.
- Transitioning large-scale, fixed firefighting systems to environmentally friendly options.
- High employee turnover rate in 2023 (linked to office closure, reorganization, and retirements).
- Improving data quality for certain metrics (e.g., mobility data).
Mitigation Strategies
- Developed FFX® and FFC® technologies as fluorine-free alternatives.
- Collaborating with customers to facilitate the transition to new technologies.
- Implementing measures to improve employee well-being and retention (e.g., telework, flexible hours, well-being assessments).
- Enhancing data collection methods to improve data quality.
