Sustainability / Environment
USAGE: USE, REUSE AND RECYCLE
Jotun recognises that it can improve its environmental
performance by focusing on how efficiently it uses, reuses
or recycles materials. Initiatives include reducing waste by
reusing or recycling plastics, certain chemicals or substances,
paint, process water and other materials.
Externally, Jotun works closely with customers to ensure the
efficient and safe preparation of surfaces, application and
maintenance, and provides support for proper recycling of
packaging and handling of waste. For example, Jotun’s cans
are designed for ease of use, minimum leftover paint and
convenient recycling. All this supports better decisions, leading
to improved durability, cost efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Transparency is a fundamental part of Jotun’s approach to
sustainability. The company’s ambitions related to carbon
emissions and renewable electricity are calculated based on
Jotun’s experience and forecasts. By setting achievable
goals and sharing results from successful improvement
programmes across all factories, Jotun can improve its
environmental performance.
