Since then Velleuer constantly monitors the environmental effects of their output and explores potentials to improve. In 2016, the company succeeded in reversing the negative trend with rising production-related CO<sub>2&nbsp;<\/sub>emissions, even though production volumes increased. To take in energy sources with less environmental impact was the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability focus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, five years later, the opportunity had come to lower the CO<sub>2&nbsp;<\/sub>emissions even further. With the conversion to green electricity, a further annual potential of reducing almost 300 tons of CO<sub>2&nbsp;<\/sub>has opened up. This means an emission reduction of more than 60 per cent* thanks to certified green energy, produced with a zero emission guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frank Jahn<\/strong>, MD of Velleuer, comments on the company\u2019s sustainability focus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe are happy this opportunity came up and March 2020 was the right time for us to make a transition at a reasonable cost. For further steps, we are monitoring new opportunities according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol providing standards for business and utilizing \u201cEco cockpit\u201d, a free and easy-to-use online platform. Currently, we have completed the analysis on Scope 1 and Scope 2. In 2022, Scope 3 will come, when we broaden to the business field of procurement.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><sup>*<\/sup>on Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHP Protocol<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charging stations at the premises<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Velleuer also encourages the idea of emission-free local mobility. The company has installed both a charging station for employees\u00b4 electrical bikes, and a 2 x 22 kW wall box where coworkers can charge their electrical vehicles as well as company cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cTo make it easier taking the bike to work does not only make a valuable contribution to lower air pollution, it also improves our employees\u2019 health so it is a huge win-win for all parts\u201d<\/em>, says&nbsp;<strong>Frank Jahn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lesj\u00f6fors companies keep working on their sustainability objectives, where lower CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions are one focus area.
