Purmo Group’s Post

Purmo Group's Sustainability Report for 2023 shows continued strong progress Building on momentum we created in 2022, our 2023 report illustrates our actions and ongoing commitment to a lower-carbon future for our value chain and the environment. Highlights from the 2023 report include: • Agreeing to buy 20,000 tonnes of almost-zero carbon-embodied steel per year from 2026 • The first wave of replacing polystyrene packaging with sustainable alternatives • Improvements in carbon intensity and Scope 1 & 2 Greenhouse Gas emissions across the business • Baselining Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions to identify the biggest levers in decarbonising • Submitting targets to the Science Based Target initiative for validation  • Significant increases in customer awareness of progress in sustainability You can read the whole report here: https://lnkd.in/eMJRVYa2

Henkel published its sustainability report for the fiscal year 2023, reporting on progress in the implementation of its global sustainability strategy, particularly in the use of renewable energies and the promotion of the circular economy

"The challenge isn't carbon itself, but the source of the carbon."   Take a look at this freshly released recording from the World Bio Markets & Bio Innovations Midwest on stage interview with Henkel featuring Sjoerd Dijkstra, Director of Sustainability Strategy & Excellence at Henkel Adhesive Technologies, Mateusz and John, about the challenges and opportunities of transitioning towards renewable resources in the adhesives' industry.   Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dW6fkYjj Key takeaways from this insightful discussion: - Moving away from fossil-based raw materials and the importance of biobased alternatives; - The complexities of carbon accounting and how it impacts bio-solutions; - Collaboration across the value chain to achieve cost-effective eco-friendly solutions; - The role of transparency in ensuring the sustainability of raw materials.

Denmaur raises sustainability commitment with net-zero target validation. After being the first UK national paper merchant to validate its near-term carbon reduction target with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Denmaur has now used the same framework to validate its ambitious net-zero target date of 2045. ------ Denmaur https://lnkd.in/ePUc-hfG ------ Danny Doogan, #paperindustry #carbonreduction #2045

Here it is! Our very first Sustainability report! 🎉 We are proud to transparently share our progress in the efforts to transform the battery industry as we commit to the highest sustainability standards. Electrification is essential to the green transition of the mobility sector and low-emission batteries require a low-emission battery value chain. Anode graphite, as the main component of lithium-ion batteries in terms of weight, plays a key role in this effort. 🔋🚗 Vianode’s contribution? Supplying the energy transition with high-performance anode graphite solutions with a 90% lower CO2 footprint than conventional production methods. The report showcases how seriously we are taking environmental and social responsibility and the goals we have set for the future.

What will be the dominant trends in the packaging sector in 2024? What else can we expect? ⤵️ ⏩ Mono-material packaging makes an entrance The packaging industry is gradually transitioning from multi-material packaging to mono-material technologies, enabling more convenient recycling with existing infrastructure. ⏩ Innovative labels of the future By 2024, there will be substantial advancements in the technologies employed to produce materials used for label production. These will likely have a favourable impact on recycling practices, which have become increasingly critical in the current economic climate, especially within the circular economy. ⏩ Bioplastic on the rise Consumers are demanding renewable alternatives to plastics made from fossil fuels. As a result, bioplastic production is experiencing a surge in popularity despite facing high production costs and regulatory obstacles. Notably, the forthcoming changes are directing us towards a more sustainable future. The objective is for packaging to not only function as a tool for preserving and shipping products but also as a critical element in pursuing a sustainable economy and environmental conservation.

I was thrilled to sit down with Sotirios Frantzanas recently to talk all things #sustainability in Chemical Week by S&P Global. We covered various topics including: • Why sustainability is integral to JM and our progress in recent years • The regulatory environment • Our recently launched Nature strategy • Our ambitious targets within our own operations • How we plan to address hard-to-abate emissions beyond 2030 • How our life cycle assessment teams play a vital role Huge thanks to Sotirios for his time and his clear explanation on the topics discussed. Sustainability can be such a broad and complex topic to unpack so it’s important to raise awareness wherever we can to encourage further action throughout business and the world.
