Risks related to climate change include stricter laws and increased energy costs, changes in weather patterns and natural disasters that affect the flow of raw materials and/or production. The company’s efforts are focused on those areas where the impact and ability to have an effect is considered
to be greatest.
The Group’s climate impact occurs primarily directly through the use of fossil fuels and indirectly through the consumption of electricity and district heating.
Lindab has adopted long-term Group-wide environmental ambitions which are in line with the international agreements that have been made within the field. The strategy, beginning with the production units, is to minimise the Group’s emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, step-by-step.
Lindab’s emissions of carbon dioxide are reported in the CDP, Carbon Disclosure Project. The calculations are performed using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The aim is to reduce carbon emissions by 20 percent by 2020, with 2008 as the starting point.
