In 2023, “Your mission, Our challenge!” served as a steadfast guideline for BIM Kemi, driving our unwavering commitment to sustainability forward. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team, we successfully met our customers’ demands and needs while maintaining our focus on sustainable development despite the challenges we see around us.
This sustainability report covers a Communication on Progress for the year 2023, according to United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Thus, BIM Kemi reaffirms its support of the Ten Principles of the UNGC, where we have been a member since 2018.
The report outlines our ongoing efforts to continue to incorporate the principles of the Global Compact into our business strategy, culture, and daily operations, in compliance with EU regulations and sanctions.
Focus areas for our sustainability work are to continue to decrease our climate impact in line with the Paris agreement and further develop our Green chemistry. We are proud that we have decreased our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from scope 1 & 2 by over 30% compared to last year and over 40% compared to 2021. This means we are well in line with our long-term goal of 50% by 2030. This achievement is mainly due to the replacement of an oil pan to a pellet boiler in Stenkullen and the installation of the liquified petroleum gas boiler in Drammen. Furthermore, during 2023 our energy consumption of renewable resources has increased by almost 80% compared to 2021.
Totally in 2023, our GHG emission intensity ratio for BIM Kemi (kg CO2 e/ton trade product) has decreased by over 20% compared to last year. We also continue to invest in long-term collaborative innovation projects, to find more sustainable and environmentally friendly customer solutions.
Our sustainability work is based on best practice, recent research and dedicated support from our employees and management.
BIM Kemi is dedicated to achieve our long-term goals that aim to benefit future generations.
