Investing today for tomorrow
Jotun GreenSteps defines how the company acts, what we produce and how we aim to achieve enhanced
sustainability. It is central to Jotun’s operations today, and the company’s success tomorrow.
GreenSteps provides structure, clarity and direction for all of
Jotun’s environmental efforts. Based around five key objectives,
it enables the company to focus on positive actions that
reduce both our own environmental impact and, through the
development of greener solutions for the global market, the
performance of Jotun’s customers.
This translates to better business results for all stakeholders –
with greater efficiency, smarter energy consumption and longterm
asset protection – and a reduced carbon footprint. Jotun’s
increasingly sustainable portfolio demonstrates that commercial
and environmental success go hand in hand.
Leading the way with HPS
Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) combines advanced
SeaQuantum X200 marine antifouling with high quality technical
service and a suite of hull-based sensors to monitor long-term
performance. The efficacy of the solution, which limits the
growth of organisms on vessel hulls (thus minimising speed loss
and the transfer of invasive species), usually provides a return on
investment within one year of application, delivering significant
fuel savings and reducing emissions.
Around 1 000 HPS contracts have now been signed, translating
to a fuel savings potential of approximately USD 4.1 billion and a
CO2 emissions reduction of 38 million tonnes.
Earning our green reputation
To meet the demand for more environmentally friendly buildings
and construction projects Jotun provides its Green Building
Solutions. Encompassing decorative paints, protective and
powder coatings, the solution allows customers to meet the most
stringent national and international certification and regulatory
standards, creating sustainable projects that optimise energy use
and reduce emissions.
The Green Building Solutions has now been used on a wide
variety of landmark projects, including elements of Dubai EXPO
2020, Our Tampines Hub in Singapore, the Mall of Istanbul, and
Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, amongst others.
