Environmental priorities in the 2025 targets
The new 2025 targets are building on the momentum and success of five-year programs since 2010; setting more ambitious targets across all indicators. The targets are connected to our environmental priorities, which are to:
- reduce the Group’s carbon footprint
- coordinate the implementation of environmental management systems
- enhance data analysis and benchmarking
- improve water and waste management
- reduce energy consumption and increase the proportion of renewable energy
- reduce organic solvents by half
You can read more about our targets in the Sustainability Report.
Stepping up our targets to tackle climate change
With a global footprint, we have a global responsibility to do the right thing and play our part to mitigate climate change. With nearly two centuries of expertise in access solutions, we know that if we want to be there for future generations, we need to act boldly now. And respecting our planet is also true to our purpose: helping people experience a safer and more open world.
We have always set ourselves ambitious goals. Our latest five-year plan, which runs to 2025, is our most ambitious program to date and we have committed to set targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative, in line with the Paris Agreement.
Case study: Knowledge is key to energy savings
A common challenge when planning energy savings in our company premises is a lack of detailed knowledge about energy use in order to understand how improvements can be carried out. A cross-divisional pilot was conducted in all our Swedish sites to discover how each office and factory plus transportation contributes to our energy footprint.
