FUNDAMENTAL GUIDELINES

We model our guidelines on the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) defined by the UN in the Agenda 2030.

With the objective of preserving our global environment, we will strictly adhere to the applicable laws and agreements while continuously improving the environmental management system and establishing measures for monitoring resources and emissions.

In accordance with the guidelines of the Paris Agreement, we will adhere to the climate targets stipulated there and will support actions for reducing emissions.

Our target for CO₂ reduction is at least 25 % by 2025 and at least 30 % by 2030, measured against 2018 as the base year. The aim is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 at the latest.

3. Reducing the environmental impact

We will continuously support, record, evaluate and improve the efficient use of energy and resources as well as the reduction of waste and avoidance of hazardous chemicals. We regard the careful use of water as our social obligation.

We will focus on our efforts to reduce our ecological footprint through longer life cycles of products and services and we will promote a recycling-oriented society.

4. Coexisting with nature

In our environment, we will be a role model for a coexistence with nature that respects biodiversity and will motivate all our employees to follow this example.

5. Developing and distributing SDG-oriented products, including eco products

In our pursuit of sustainability (for the environment, society and the economy), we will actively develop and distribute SDG-oriented products while striving to achieve economic benefit as well as a contribution to the environment and society.

6. Promoting environmental dialog

In addition to promoting sustainability training and in-house public relations for company employees, we will actively disclose appropriate environmental information to our stakeholders to strengthen the public’s trust in us and to increase awareness for environmental protection.

7. Supply chain

We verify whether environmental requirements are adhered to and supported in the delivery chain and demand from suppliers to comply with environmental targets that support our long-term objectives.

Our procurement processes consider and promote suitable environmental best practice and a commitment to energy efficiency and reducing emissions in our supply chain.
