Having made a commitment to the United Nations Global Compact also means working closely with the UN Sustainable Development Group(SDGs). NIBE Group has chosen to work mainly with 7 of the 17 global goals which are incorporated in the sustainability targets. By supporting NIBE Group's sustainability goals, we're actively contributing to targets such as reducing CO2 emissions and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. "In our view, it entails a responsibility that Eltwin Group is a part of the NIBE Group. Therefore, we have an ambition to contribute to these sustainability goals", says ESG Controller Matilde Borg Grønlund.

The conversation around sustainability is evolving. Committing to carbon reductions or switching to renewable energy is no longer enough. According to the World Resources Institute, 25 countries face extremely high water stress each year, consuming more than 80% of their renewable water supply. The U.S. is facing droughts in every region of the country. One area businesses can focus on is the growing issue of water scarcity. ION's water optimization platform helps affordable developers consume and maintain water consumption at more than 50% less than industry averages. The platform generates real-time water data that can be used to demonstrate enhanced water efficiencies within your ESG program. These efficiencies translate to carbon offsets related to reduced water treatment and delivery. Additionally, savings can be reinvested into social equity initiatives that enhance residents' quality of life. Learn more about ION's impact: https://ow.ly/ec8K50QnN0L

Our Sustainability Report 2023 is out! We again took strides within sustainability. We published our new target of having carbon neutral own operations by 2030, which follows our 2022 accomplishment of reaching our science-based targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. In 2023, we reached a carbon neutrality milestone as our Hämeenlinna, Finland site became the first factory to receive a CarbonNeutral® building certification. We work towards carbon neutrality by improving energy efficiency in our operations, investing in renewable energy sources, and electrifying our vehicle fleet. The unavoidable emissions left – most probably mainly related to vehicle fuel consumption and refrigerants will be offset, if no feasible technologies are available by 2030.

Global Stocktaking Urges Accelerated Action on Sustainable Energy   Source: IISD News SDG 2, SDG 15   The Global Stocktaking on Sustainable Energy highlighted a sluggish pace in meeting SDG 7 targets for affordable and clean energy by 2030. UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis called for urgent measures to provide electricity access to 685 million people and clean cooking solutions to over 2 billion relying on dirty fuels. Tripling global investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency by 2030, especially for vulnerable countries, was emphasized. Lack of finance and clean cooking solutions emerged as key challenges. The event, part of UNGA Sustainability Week, aimed to boost ambition and partnerships following the 2014-2024 UN Decade of Sustainable Energy for All.   Link to Source: https://lnkd.in/e_HicjHZ   #UN #unitednations #worldnews #uvs #uvsociety #sdgs #IISD #energy #SustainableEnergy #fuel #UNGA

Our CEO, Jes Johansen, had a lovely interview with Lynlee Foo from MONEY FM 89.3 last afternoon, discussing Storefriendly and sustainability in the self storage industry. ♻️ In the interview, Jes shared how refurbishing older industrial buildings—by giving them an elegant end-of-lease life—allows us to be part of Singapore's sustainability goals. Our ESG roadmap includes having renewable energy from solar panels on our owned buildings, and equipping our building infrastructure like lighting and HVAC with energy saving and optimization technology. https://lnkd.in/gYteiFfz #storefriendlysg #storefriendly #esg #industrialbuildings #sustainability #selfstorage #solarenergy #energyoptimization #renewableenergy

My top 3 takeaways from bvca's "Creating Sustainable Growth" report: 🌏 Get your data strategy in place For GPs, 2024 will see further increases in LP and regulatory expectations around robust and transparent climate and ESG data governance 🌏 Sustainability = value There is ever more focus on sustainability considerations as a driver of long-term value. Expectations are that a premium will be paid upon exit for companies that effectively decarbonised during PE/VC ownership 🌏 Portco engagement GPs are focused on working with portfolio companies to implement efficient emission tracking systems and transition to renewable energy sources, amongst other decarbonisation levers ------ SWEEP helps private equity firms streamline the collection of carbon emissions from across their portfolio and empowers portfolio companies themselves to embark on their own decarbonisation journey.
