Our ambition
In our 2019-2023 target framework, we set ourselves ambitious goals, including a 15% relative reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emission by the end of 2023.
We listened to the advice of specialists to focus on increasing energy efficiency. Initiatives include upgrading air compressors, expanding the use of LED technology, and optimising heating systems and solar panels.
Responsible product portfolio
Our potential impact beyond the internal actions we take as a company.
Our responsible product portfolio includes actuators for electric and hybrid vehicles and our Otto Particle Filter (OPF) and valves that help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Reducing C02 emissions and energy consumption
We hit the ground running in our first year of the 2019-2023 target framework, reducing our absolute energy consumption by 2.5%, and our absolute CO2 emissions by 8.5%, in 2019.
Our head office moved to an energy-efficient multi-tenant building in Amsterdam, and we promote greener transport options throughout our operations.
We took the first step towards building our global waste management strategy by carrying out a thorough waste analysis across our organisation.
Achievements in 2019
Completed design of a five-year roadmap and started with implementation
2.5% decrease absolute energy consumption
8.5% decrease in absolute CO2 emissions
Implementation of the waste management hierarchy into global waste management practices is well under its way: waste data collection fully centralised, introduction of uniform waste registers and improved internal reporting and control procedures
