Teknos' sustainability in 2022: Making the world last longer for future generations
Today at August 10, 2023, we have published our non-financial report for 2022. By publishing non-financial information, we strive to provide transparency into the progress of our sustainability efforts.
"At Teknos, we are collectively committed to leaving the company and the world in a better state for future generations; we describe this through our collective company purpose: We make the world last longer," Paula Salastie, CEO of Teknos Group, says.
Our non-financial report provides an opportunity for our entire organisation to come together and share our progress and the commitments we have made. The report describes our progress on sustainability actions as defined by our strategy and our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program.
Our Commitment to mitigating emissions across our entire Value Chain
In 2022, we worked to understand our emissions in Scope 3 and defined a baseline for this. We have now set targets for our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Although we set the Scope 3 target in 2022, we have been providing services to our customers throughout the company's history to optimise their coating lines to use materials more efficiently, optimising paint consumption, and minimising waste creation, all while advising on reducing energy consumption.
"In many ways, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the resultant energy crisis experienced this year have placed an even greater need to focus on sustainable practices. At Teknos, we've continued our investment in activities that will reduce our energy use and identified alternative energy sources." Paula Salastie, CEO of Teknos Group says.
Updated strategy with a renewed focus on responsibility
In 2022, we recommitted ourselves to our vision of being a sustainable coatings solutions provider close to our customers, reviewed how far we have come towards that vision, and defined how we would go forward. Sustainability considerations are at the core of everything, from our use of resources, how we work, our ethics, the culture we want to foster, and our impact on the environment and our communities.
"Ultimately, the work carried out in this updated strategy will ensure we hold ourselves responsible for the world around us and our influence." Adds Paula
Looking to the future
"With our expanded understanding of responsibility, we will foster our inclusive and family-orientated culture while supporting the communities in which we operate. We will also continue our journey to mitigate our impact on the climate throughout our entire value chain. Together we will make the world last longer." Paula concludes.
