"I am very proud to be able to announce our strategic sustainability commitments, that will guide our operations and business in the years to come. We have a strong foundation in our sustainability legacy, both in our operations and with our sustainable customer offer. Together with zero tolerance for non-ethical behavior, our sustainability focus areas and targets are designed to set the pace for the future within the professional food, laundry and beverage industry," says
The strategic sustainability framework is built on three core pillars:
Sustainable solutions that set the pace within the professional food, laundry and beverage industry through innovation in sustainability and energy efficiency, with connected and digital platforms that meet customer needs.
Sustainable operations, striving to improve sustainability performance in operations through a systematic approach, with emphasis on reducing environmental and social impacts.
Ethics and relationship focus that seeks to earn the trust of everyone impacted by our operations, demonstrating commitment to the environment, ethics and human rights.
The 2025 sustainability targets focus on climate, health & safety and diversity.
· Reduce scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by at least 50% until 2025 (base 2015)
· Injury rate below 0.3 measured by work related accidents per 200,000 worked hours by 2025
· Gender diversity of 40/60 in all managerial positions within the company by 2030
"The main environmental impact occurs during the product-use phase as customers operate products consuming resources such as energy, water and detergents. We are determined to continue developing, and offer low-resource consuming products, which benefits both our customers' running costs as well as our planet.", adds Zanata.
· We act responsibly according to our ethical principle
· We constantly strive to improve throughout our value chain
· We act fairly and commit to the trust we are given by our stakeholders
