During these enriching sessions, our team delved into critical sustainability topics and ongoing departmental initiatives, uncovering valuable insights and opportunities for progress.

Key highlights of the initiative include:

Preparation for EcoVadis Group Assessment: Proactive measures were taken to prepare for the EcoVadis Group assessment, ensuring alignment with global sustainability standards and benchmarks.

Exploratory Visits to Facilities: Exploratory visits were conducted to our facilities, fostering knowledge exchange and extending our technical expertise to optimize sustainability practices.

Validation of Energy & Emissions Data: Validation of energy and emissions data was undertaken to ensure accuracy and reliability for our sustainability reporting.

Collaborative Sessions for Enhancement: Collaborative sessions were facilitated to identify opportunities for enhancement and emission reductions within Scope 1+2, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Preparation for Scope 3 Data Collection: Preparations were made for the collection of Scope 3 data in 2024, laying the groundwork for comprehensive sustainability reporting and analysis.

Eike Schopper, Group Head of Business Development, Innovation & Sustainability, expressed enthusiasm for the progress made, stating, “I’m thrilled by our success in launching our journey towards achieving net zero emissions. We’ve not only mapped out the energy landscape of all our facilities but also outlined actionable steps to dramatically cut down our emissions.”

Mande Miošić Pavičić, our Sustainability and Innovation Specialist, echoed this sentiment, expressing delight and pride in the Sustainability Days Initiative. “We’ve identified significant potential to reduce our product carbon footprint, showcasing our commitment to a more sustainable future.
