Emissions, Energy, Water, Waste
Key facts on emissions, energy, water and waste:
- JOST aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2eq emissions per production hour by -50 % until 2030, compared to the 2020 fiscal year.
- The share of renewable energies in total electricity consumption amounted to 5.9 %, or 3.1 million kWh.
- We use water mainly for cleaning production facilities and buildings, for operating the e-coating plants, and for employee hygiene.
- In countries such as India, we collect rainwater and use it to minimize the consumption of tap water. In Europe and North America, water is drawn from the public supply network.
- Waste avoidance and separation are key levers for waste management. Where possible, we try to return reusable waste to the resource cycle.
