Our sustainability efforts also include selecting the right partners, who are willing and able to collaborate on green initiatives. For example, we choose to work with suppliers who utilise more sustainable fuels like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a clean-burning fuel. In our Building Performance division in Germany, 50% of the fleet used by our partners for domestic transport runs on LPG. A great achievement, which enforces our determination to progress towards carbon neutrality with all parties involved. #Decarbonisation #UnitedToInspire #InspiringWaysOfLiving

Innovation is at the core of everything we do. We believe that by embracing fresh ideas and smart solutions, we can continuously improve ourselves and stay ahead in a fast-changing world. A great example comes from our Inbound Enquiry Coordinator Kelly Upton, who identified a way to streamline our inbound enquiry process after attending a Hubspot training. Kelly transformed a manual, email-based system into a fully integrated Salesforce process, improving efficiency across departments at Etex United Kingdom.

Happy International Day of Climate Action! Today we want to show our commitment to our decarbonisation goals. We are well on our way to fighting global warming across all scopes of our emissions. Have a look at some green achievements from 2023: Scope 1 emissions: 🇮🇹 Our plasterboard plant in Corfinio, Italy, has installed an automated energy tracking tool. 📉 We have been reducing the CO2 impact of cement in our European fibre cement factories, with actions underway in France and the Netherlands, aiming for over 30% reduction by 2030. ⚡ We implemented 277 concrete energy efficiency actions at our plants worldwide to reduce immediate energy consumption and associated emissions. Scope 2 emissions: ☀️ We installed new solar installations in Altona, Australia, and Vitry-en-Charollais, France to generate more renewable electricity. ⚡ Despite several acquisitions, we could maintain our share of renewable electricity at 60.9%. Scope 3 emissions: ♻️ We moved to environmentally responsible sourcing methods and introduced reuse and recycling after the use phase. To enhance engagement, we committed to the global Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), planning to set our goals in the near future and align our emission reduction targets to their standards. Let’s keep moving forward together! #Decarbonisation #UnitedTolnspire #InspiringWaysOfLiving

Building a better, sustainable future is the responsibility of all building material manufacturers. Our ‘Road to Sustainability 2030’ is an ambitious plan which includes our decarbonisation goal: reducing the intensity of our scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 35% vs 2018. In 2023, we launched several initiatives that already paid off: 👷♂️ Our electric forklift fleet expanded to cover 45% of our fleet 🚆 Teammates are more likely to travel greener ⚡ The photovoltaic (PV) capacity doubled to 15 MW across 12 sites, generating 20 GWh annually (2% of the total electricity consumption) and avoiding 5,000 tonnes CO2 On World Energy Saving Day, let’s re-pledge our commitment to carbon neutrality and continue to help make the world more sustainable. Have a look at our annual report to find out more about decarbonisation. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyn2Gg-a #WorldEnergySavingDay #UnitedTolnspire #InspiringWaysOfLiving
