Aiming at ambitious targets
Annual routines at all Outokumpu production locations include the setting and monitoring of independent environmental targets. These processes are built into the Group's environmental management systems and there are also key targets for 2010 at the Group level. Having concrete, measurable targets for our operations is a way of focusing attention on specific environmental and energy aspects throughout the Group.
Group indirect and direct CO2 emissions per tonne produced to be reduced by 20% by 2020.
Outokumpu is committed to the long-term target of reducing its carbon emissions profile (indirect and direct emissions) by 20% per produced tonne by 2020. The setting of this challenging target is a clear demonstration of Outokumpu's desire to improve the Group's energy efficiency, contribute to reducing global emissions of carbon dioxide, and participate in the transformation to a low-carbon society.
