Sustainability Targets

Energy Target: Reduced energy use

Energy consumption (GWh/sales) is to be reduced continuously. Within the framework of ISO 14001 and/or ISO 50001, many of the production units are working with detailed targets for increased energy efficiency.

Outcome

Over the year, investments were made in more energy- efficient production equipment, lighting and infrastructure. Compared to the previous year, the key figure for energy use increased by 7 percent due to the difference in sales between different product areas with different energy intensity, not a deterioration in energy efficiency. Since 2019, energy efficiency has improved by 37 percent.

Climate Target: Reduced carbon dioxide emissions

Carbon emissions from energy consumption (tons CO2e/sales) are to decrease by 75 percent by 2025 compared with the average for 2018–2019.

Outcome

Compared to the previous year, emissions relative to sales decreased by 3 percent and 65 percent relative to the 2018–2019 baseline year. The explanation is the increase in purchased renewable and nuclear electricity, together with continuous improvement in energy efficiency.

Carbon dioxide emissions

Safe work environment Target: 0 accidents

The vision is that no accidents will occur at our workplaces. The target is that the number of accidents will be reduced. Systems for reporting near misses are to be in place in all operations.

Outcome

The frequency of workplace accidents per million hours worked increased during the year compared to previous years. Efforts to reduce accidents are being stepped up with the aim of returning to previous levels and eventually reducing them.
