40 I Jotun Group Report 2021 Sustainability / Environment
Jotun’s role in the circular economy
By taking a holistic approach to minimising Jotun’s environmental footprint, Jotun can not only
reduce its own environmental impacts, but also help suppliers and customers improve their
environmental performance.
JOTUN PROTECTS PROPERTY
Jotun regards paints and coatings as important elements
to secure a more sustainable future. After all, paints and
coatings offer long-term protection against corrosion, which
increases the lifetime of assets, reducing waste and demand
for resources.
JOINING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The circular economy will help shift society from creating
waste to effectively recycle and reduce material and energy
use. Jotun has a structured approach that introduces activities
in all parts of the value chain to reduce the company’s
environmental footprint.
