Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

At Nowy Styl, we are aware of the impact of CO 2 emissions on climate change. Driven by a sense of responsibility, we therefore make sure that our operations and our products are made in a sustainable and responsible manner. Reduc- ing the emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere is one of our most important commitments. Every year, emissions levels in our plants are measured by an accredited labora- tory, in accordance with the requirements of the Environ- mental Protection Law . In July 2017, we discontinued the use of a boiler plant, which translated into a significant reduction in emissions from heat generation in the period covered by this report. 6.2 Reducing emissions A Dutch five-tier sustainability support and management system companies can use to reduce CO 2 emissions. In 2019, Nowy Styl obtained a certificate confirming it has achieved Level 3 (up to and including Level 3, an organisation focuses on its own emissions. Starting from Levels 4 and 5, CO 2 emissions in the sales chain and the entire sector are also addressed). The requirements of each tier are based on the following four assumptions: > Understanding: determining the energy flows and CO 2 emissions. > Reduction: working out ambitious goals for CO 2 reduction. > Transparency: structural communication of the CO 2 policy. > Contribution: commitment to initiatives for CO 2 reduction in the given sector. Implementing the system’s objectives will allow us to significantly reduce the emissions of harmful substances resulting from our operations. We have also set some specific objectives as part of the system: > Use sustainable electricity produced by wind turbines or from biomass in our production plants in Poland. > Purchase energy-efficient machinery to optimise the production process, and improve the energy efficiency of office heating. > Increase the number of electric cars in Nowy Styl’s fleet and reduce the number of business flights through optimal use of video conferencing. CO 2 Performance Ladder In the previous report, we focused on determining basic emissions generated by our business. In this edition, we have taken a big step forward and collected much more ac- curate data on the consumption of energy and fuels and all flights we took in 2018 and 2019, for our companies: Nowy Styl Sp. z o.o, Rohde & Grahl GmbH, Rohde & Grahl B.V.
