PLANET: SUSTAINABILITY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS In our previous Sustainability report, the focus was on defining our values and targets and evaluating emissions. In this report, we describe the progress and report on some key projects related to more sustainable products and services. In 2021, we con-
centrated on the already ongoing development projects, thus the percentage of new green investments remained the same as in 2020. In addition, we have put a lot of effort to calculating our CO2 emissions and to defining reduction activities.
ENGAGING STAFF TO SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES
In 2021, we launched sustainability targets and strategic values internally, visiting different sites in the countries where we operate. We arranged country-specific work groups and appointed local representatives to promote sustainability co-operation. The meetings were held under the theme “Sustainability Workshop Round”. After presenting the strategic targets and focus areas, the discussions led to many positive findings and good practices regarding both possibilities to reduce local emissions as well as other good suggestions within sustainable business practices in general. As travelling has become easier, and meeting people has become safer, this work will be completed in 2022. The R&D department of FORCIT Explosives focuses strongly on material recycling, plastics minimisation, and new raw materials as an integrated part of the total CO2 reduction plan.
