In 2023 our absolute Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions, measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, were 63% lower than the baseline in 2021. The main improvement was achieved through an increased use of renewable energy. A market-driven production volume reduction also contributed to reduced emissions, as did measures to improve energy efficiency.
-
Our emissions intensity, measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of product produced, was 43.3% lower in 2023 than in the baseline year of 2021. Similar to our absolute emissions, reductions have been driven primarily by an increased use of renewable energy.
This shows significant progress against our target to reduce emissions intensity by 45% by 2030. -
Scope 3 emissions reduced by 16% in 2023, driven mainly by a reduction in purchased goods, related to a market-driven production volume reduction. Significant reductions were also seen in relation to upstream and downstream transportation.
-
In 2023, the percentage of energy from renewable sources continued to increase, with additional office facilities purchasing renewable electricity and a greater proportion of energy produced by onsite solar generation.
We continue to make progress towards our target of 45%. -
Our plastic packaging intensity – the weight of plastic packaging used per tonne of finished product produced – increased 6.9% in 2023. This was primarily due to changes in the mix of products and production locations, and an increase in transit distance, necessitating more robust packaging. Our efforts to reduce the amount of packaging, especially plastic, that we use, continue.
-
The recycled content of our packaging increased significantly in 2023. This was mainly driven by a change in material used for shrink wrap in Turkey. This is one of our most used packaging materials and has changed from 0% recycled content to 30%. Reducing plastic packaging should also increase the recycled content as the cardboard we use across the Group contains 97.9% recycled content on average.
