Climate policy
In 2020, the 2021-2025 Strategy of the KĘTY Capital Group was published, in which, for the first time ever, the Company parametrised and presented its commitments in the aspect of climate, in the form of Sustainable Development Goals.
At the same time, there was implemented the Climate Policy of the Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A. It is based on the common standards of conduct principles.
In the document, the companies of the Capital Group declared their full responsibility for the impact of their operations on climate changes, and committed to:
- limit greenhouse gas emissions;
- develop the recycling processes and effective waste management in all areas of operation;
- innovate and develop products, services and processes compliant with the climate change challenges.
Therefore, we have assumed to perform specific and measurable goals until the year 2025:
- Reduction of GHG emissions intensity by 20% (base year 2016). Initially, the goal was to achieve 15% reduction, however, due to the achievement of the expected value in 2022, the target was updated from (-)15% to (-)20%.
- Increase to 75% of the share of aluminium scrap in profiles extruded from in-house billets.
- Growth of the share of the manufactured packaging films and laminates fit for recycling by 5% (base year 2020).
- Increase by 65% in the number of certified energy-efficient, passive buildings constructed with Aluprof systems (base year 2020); Initially, the goal was 20% compared with the base year, and it was achieved after two years of the Strategy period. Therefore, in 2023, the value of the goal for that aspect was defined as 65%.
The goals serve the implementation of solutions that minimise the negative impact on the environment or are neutral to the environment, limit the carbon footprint of the products and facilitate their re-use, as well as increase the share of recycled materials in the manufacturing processes.
