Since pioneering energy-efficient water and digital solutions is our business, we’re committed to reducing our global footprint by saving our own energy and water, while also enabling a green supply chain.
Doing our part for a sustainable future
We don’t underestimate the impact we have as a business. That’s why we’re continually striving to minimise our environmental footprint by producing and utilising our own innovative water and energy-efficient solutions while activating a more efficient and sustainable supply chain.
In reducing our own footprint, we’re committed to:
- Responsibly measuring, managing and reducing our own water withdrawal
- Efficiently reducing our energy consumption through our own business operations
- Enabling a green supply chain focused on purchasing, logistics and packaging
During 2023 we reduced our total CO2 emissions by 9.5% compared to 2022, and we remain committed to reducing our environmental footprint by setting science-based targets and taking a more data- and impact-driven approach to sustainability.
We’re working tirelessly to reduce water withdrawal in our own operations.
Our global water withdrawal is relatively low compared to organisations in other industries. Our primary use of water is in our manufacturing and assembly plants.
We have also been a long-time supporter of the global movement to limit the world’s temperature increase, and we’re continually evaluating our impact across our entire value chain.
We know the responsibility we have as a business, and that’s why we are just as committed to minimising the negative effects of our own business operations through our green buildings, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewables programmes.
Product life cycle
We aim to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their entire life cycle. Already in the design phase, we use our Sustainable Product Solutions toolbox which allows us to work through a product’s entire life cycle systematically. This is supported with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess the environmental impacts of our solutions.
From one initiative to another, we are continually exploring the potential of the circular economy, from tapping into circular business models, piloting take-back systems, to exploring the reusability of parts and product components.
