We believe in transparency
Working towards a higher level of climate awareness is a priority at Junckers. We are therefore pleased to present the company's 2022 Climate Accounts, which are an important tool in the decision to set concrete targets for how Junckers can actively work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The work on setting targets has just begun and concrete measures are expected to be initiated during 2024.
We want to be serious and ambitious about this agenda, which is why we have based our accounts on the GHG Protocol, the leading international standard for measuring and reporting greenhouse gases. On a positive note, the 2022 Climate Accounts confirm that our business model and production methods already take significant account of nature.
Junckers has a long history of utilising 100 % of our purchased raw wood. This means that all by-products from our wood flooring production are converted into biomass and subsequently used in the public energy grid to produce electricity and heating. The mapping shows that the efficient use of these by-products reduces emissions, and we consider this to be a positive contribution to balancing the CO2e emissions identified in our own climate accounts. The premises for this statement and a review of the main conclusions of the climate accounts are explained below.
Corporate Social Responsibility and environmental care
At Junckers, we work strategically to integrate social and environmental considerations into our business activities.
The way we do business is based on openness, trust, respect and responsibility. This means that we are opposed to all forms of corruption, always act in accordance with applicable laws, and respect the environment, people and their rights. We take responsibility for minimising our energy consumption and creating a safe, healthy and happy working environment for our employees.
Since 2011, when we joined the UN Global Compact, we have been sharing our activities in this area, and this year we are able to include the conclusions of the company's first climate accounts in the CSR report.
