🌏 7 strategies used by sustainability leaders 🌏 The number of consumers in Australia who consider sustainability an important factor in their behaviour has grown by more than ten percent over the past five years. The latest Consumer Sustainability Report found that 62 percent of consumers in Australia, the UK and US now consider sustainability a core value, up from 50 percent in 2019. In this survey, TIME and data firm Statista created a rigorous methodology to measure the world’s most sustainable companies for 2024. What are they doing to improve sustainability? These companies are using the following simple strategies to improve sustainability: 1) Setting Ambitious Emission Reduction Targets: Companies like Schneider Electric aim to become carbon neutral by specific dates, such as 2025. 2) Incorporating Sustainability into Business Models: Integrating sustainability into core operations, such as Schneider Electric's energy management services that help customers reduce emissions. 3) Tracking and Publicly Reporting Performance: Establishing programs to track sustainability impacts, like Schneider Electric's sustainability impact program, and receiving high climate scores from recognized organizations (e.g., CDP). 4) Reducing Supply Chain Emissions: Actively working to decrease emissions across their supply chains. 5) Reducing Waste and Using Recycled Materials: Companies like Illumina and Moncler focus on minimizing packaging waste and using recycled materials in their products. 6) Increasing Use of Renewable Energy: Transitioning to 100% renewable energy in operations, as exemplified by Moncler. 7) Joining Respected Climate Programs: Committing to initiatives like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and meeting high standards for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Great to see a growing sustainability consciousness. #sustainability #renewable #ESG

Our relentless pursuit of innovation and positive change is reflected in the strides we've made this year. Here are the pivotal moments and achievements detailed in the report: 🌱 2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap: Demonstrating our unwavering commitment to the planet, we've set a steadfast goal to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Our efforts have already yielded a reduction of 1,117 tons of GHG emissions in 2023, coupled with the implementation of cutting-edge GHG management technology at our Georgia manufacturing facility. 🏭 Sustainable Manufacturing in the U.S.: At the heart of our operations, our U.S. facilities have witnessed profound energy efficiency enhancements, positioning LX Hausys as a frontrunner in the sustainable building and decorative materials industry. 🌿 Expansion of Eco-Friendly Products: Responding to the soaring demand for sustainable materials, we've broadened our offerings to include high-performance insulation products that not only promise energy savings but also significantly cut down U.S. carbon emissions. ♻️ Circular Economy Initiatives: Our commitment to sustainability is further exemplified through our North American recycling efforts, particularly our PVC recycling program, which promotes the use of recycled materials and strives towards achieving a zero-waste manufacturing process. 🌞 Investment in Renewable Energy: Embracing the sun's power, our solar energy generation at U.S. plants surged by 40% in 2023, heralding our rapid progression towards a renewable energy future. We're ecstatic to have our progress and dedication to corporate responsibility and environmental innovation spotlighted by Floor Focus Magazine.

Embracing Bio-Based Materials in Construction  Our push for #netzero and healthier spaces is boosting bio-based materials. New regulations and innovations are leading the way.  Can plant-based materials succeed in construction as they have in other industries? What will it take to move away from traditional practices? Richard Francis explores these questions in "The Future Of ESG: What Is the Role of Plant-Based Places?" And I am proud to share his insights.  https://hubs.la/Q02zQt9r0  #BusinessWithPurpose #ESG #Sustainability

Sustainability initiatives and modernization at BÜFA Composite Systems In 2024, BÜFA Composites will be more sustainable and environmentally friendly than ever before We have introduced the “BÜFA®-future” label in 2024 to further advance our long-standing sustainability strategy. The main objective is to establish sustainable products as an essential part of our corporate strategy. With the new label, we are making our sustainable products visible so that customers can select sustainable options in a targeted manner. Our sustainable portfolio is being continuously expanded. The modernized thermal exhaust gas purification plant in Rastede is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2024 in order to meet the highest environmental standards. With the renewed RTO process (regenerative thermal oxidation), we are cutting emissions and reducing gas consumption by at least half. In addition, diffuse heat potential from the plant is bundled via the building fabric and can also be recovered. Here, BÜFA is setting a standard for the company's sustainability strategy via the legislation required by the Energy Efficiency Act. In addition, the strategy of green in-house generation, such as photovoltaics, is being expanded. These steps are part of our ongoing efforts to shape a green future for our customers and the environment. More under: https://ow.ly/uwXe50SFO37
