ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
ENSURING ENVIRONMENTAL
PERFORMANCE
Green is Jotun’s favourite colour. We are committed to utilising greener materials, production methods and
product offerings, helping our customers improve their own environmental performance, and safeguarding
the world around us.
Jotun is committed to continually improving its environmental
performance. The Group follows a long-term strategy that
focuses on reducing waste while optimising energy efficiency.
We identify best practices locally, such as installing light tunnels,
solar panels and treating waste water on-site, and introduce
them internationally, while setting stringent standards on a
Group level for all sites to follow.
THE STRUCTURE TO SUCCEED
in 2015, the goal to reduce waste was formalised with the
roll out of Jotun’s HSEQ Management System, concerning
environmental expectations, systems, reporting and support tools.
This describes requirements to ensure the correct measures are
implemented to protect the environment locally, prevent spills
and accidental emissions, handle waste effectively, and promote
energy efficiency and awareness.
A central focus concerns the structure to support Jotun’s overall
HSEQ targets, with clear key performance indicators (KPIs)
reporting required from each site, namely, waste in kg/tonne
produced (%), total waste (hazardous and non-hazardous),
energy kWh per tonne produced for liquid paints, and energy
kWh per tonne produced for powder coatings.
The management and employees on each site are expected to
own and participate in this environmental commitment, taking
part in activities such as site environmental risk assessments,
training and environmental compliance.
WORKING TOGETHER
Achieving optimal environmental performance is an integrated
part of Jotun’s daily operational objectives. This clear, simple
and structured approach ensures that every facility, team and
individual understands and positively contributes to achieving
our overall Group objectives.
In 2018, Jotun will continue its drive to reduce waste, targeting
the use of less packaging, with, for example, increased raw
material deliveries from tankers rather than in bags, and a push
through the purchasing department to consider every purchase
in the context of product Life Cycle Analyses and, where
relevant, Environmental Product Declarations.
