Our Sustainability Targets for 2030 and 2035 

Climate 

Our climate targets are aligned in ambition with the Paris Agreement and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) pathways for 1.5°C but are pending formal approval by SBTi.  

Climate targets 2030

• - 46% Absolute CO2e reduction. Meeting: 1.5°C (Scope 1&2)  

• - 40% CO2e reduction per tonne product. Levels TBC. Meeting: 1.5°C (Scope 3) 

Climate targets 2035 

• - 67% Absolute CO2e reduction. Meeting: 1.5°C 9 (Scope 1&2) 

• - 60% CO2e reduction per tonne product. Levels TBC. Meeting: 1.5°C (Scope 3) 

Water 

Our sites all use water to some extent – for cooling, as a solvent for chemical reactions, as a carrier for products and as a heat-transfer medium. Reducing freshwater withdrawal is part of our long-term ambition, and we work to reduce our water footprint through efficiency and reuse technologies. One way to reduce the use of freshwater is to purify and recycle wastewater, a technology that we are planning to introduce at several of our sites. The purpose of the target is to reduce our freshwater withdrawal in high water stress areas and as well as continuously reducing freshwater withdrawal overall at all our production sites. 

Water target 2030 

• -25% fresh water withdrawal in high water stress areas 

Water target 2035

• -40% fresh water withdrawal in high water stress areas 

• -10% fresh water withdrawal overall 

Waste

Minimizing waste in all phases of production remains a priority and waste is one of the focus areas. We strive to avoid the generation of waste by focusing on quality management at all our production sites and to find new, circular ways of using our residues. The purpose of the target for disposal intensity is to increase recycling of waste, and to reduce waste to disposal such as combustion or landfill. The purpose of the second target is to reduce landfilling which is lowest in the waste hierarchy. 

Waste target 2030 

• -20% waste to disposal intensity (% ton total waste to disposal/ton product)  

• -20% waste to landfill intensity (% ton total waste to landfill/ton product).  

Waste target 2035

• -(40–60)% waste to disposal intensity (% ton total waste to disposal/ton product) 
  The exact level to be decided later. 

• -(40–60)% waste to landfill intensity (% ton total waste to landfill/ton product) 
  The exact level to be decided later. 

Our SCOPE 1, 2 and 3 emissions 

• Scope 1 emissions – Direct emissions from production sites. 

• Scope 2 emissions – Indirect emissions from purchased energy. 

• Scope 3 emissions – Indirect emissions mainly related to raw materials, transport, waste and end of life treatment of products.
