In 2023, we established our technology competence centre in Kolding, an attractive city in Denmark for corporate businesses, to design efficient technology solutions for reducing energy consumption and related CO2e-emmissions at our plants.
We commit to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions and relative Scope 3 CO2e emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2021 base year.
