Setting the course for 2030 In 2020, we set ambitious sustainability goals for the next decade, focusing on three key areas and implementing strategies to achieve them. Now, we're proud to share our progress through 2022 and our plans for continued improvement. Our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions is strong. Each of our businesses is targeting a 5% year-over-year reduction in emissions intensity, moving us toward a lower-carbon future. Our actions include optimizing our footprint, improving energy efficiency, and investing in renewable energy. As we work toward a sustainable future, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can build a better world for future generations. To read more, here is the link to our ESG report: https://lnkd.in/gZHiwymC #esgreport #future #ambition #ghg

Our partner ERM has developed a ‘Solar plants’ lifetime avoided emissions calculator’ that has been integrated into our project carbon footprint calculation tool. *Our assessment of avoided emissions was based on the principles proposed by the Net Zero Initiative (June 2022) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (March 2023), while taking into account potential limitations in terms of data availability. ☀️ Our commitment goes beyond renewable energy generation: we strive to maintain and regenerate ecosystems on our project sites, cooperating with nature for a resilient future.

Leveraging Increased Sustainability Reporting Obligations Can this shift from mere transparency to meaningful impact and business value for Swiss companies? The Swiss Federal Council is aligning Swiss reporting obligations with the EU Corporate Sustainability Directive (CSRD), significantly increasing the number of companies required to report. The result? Enhanced transparency. The opportunity? When combined with renewable energy, PPAs, and energy optimization measures, it forms a robust foundation for creating business value.

It is always useful at the halfway point to reflect on progress made, regroup, and redefine the priorities for the remainder of the year. And what a first half of 2024 it’s been! So far, we are making excellent progress in achieving our carbon budget for the year. Our carbon budget is how we map out the annual reductions required to reach our near-term 2030 reduction target of 43% compared to our 2020 baseline. Achieving this target puts us in an excellent position to achieve our 2040 net zero target. The main contributors to our decarbonisation efforts are the roll-out of electric vehicles (EVs) in our collection and delivery fleet, deployment of renewable energy generation and procurement, and the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) in our transport fleet. By the end of 2023 more than 32% of our C&D fleet was electric. We have seen this number increase slightly to 34% through the first half of 2024 due to de-fleeting of some of our diesel vehicles; however, we have spent considerable time this year ensuring that the infrastructure we need to expand our electric fleet is in place.
