Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

6 Concern for climate change > We will increase the share of green electricity in our energy mix by 2025. Currently, the share of green energy in our plants in Poland is at 9.8%, while by 2025 we want it to grow to 30%. We will implement that process in stages, by no less than 5% annually, year by year. > We will reduce our CO 2 emissions by 2.1% annually by 2025. This goal is linked to the company’s annual turnover. > We will build an energy-efficient warehouse hall with an area of 10,000 m 2 . For logistics purposes, the hall is being built close to our factories (warehouse and product distribution) and it meets the energy-saving parameters (suitable wall and roof thickness, LED lighting, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery). > We will reduce CO 2 emissions in international transport by expanding our fleet of natural gas-powered vehicles. > We will reduce the volume of packaging materials in transport by delivering products using the BDF systems. Commitments for 2020–2021: GRI 103-2 As a production company, we are fully aware of our impact on the natural environment, so we make every effort to minimise and ultimately eliminate any potential negative impact. Throughout our organisation, we work in accordance with the certified Integrated Qual- ity, Environment and Health & Safety Management System , based on the requirements of ISO9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 (certificate received in April 2020). Our implemented and announced Integrated Manage­ ment System Policy includes, among other things, com- mitments to a rational use of raw materials, use of tech- nologies reducing production waste and minimising the negative impact on the environment, thus creating a frame- work for building further specific environmental goals. In addition to the ISO 14001:2015 based environmental management system in place, our Rohde & Grahl GmbH plant in Steyerberg has also implemented a voluntary system of eco-management and audit EMAS , which im- poses additional requirements with regard to aspects such as active employee involvement and broadly understood transparency of actions. Furthermore, Nowy Styl Sp. z o.o., Rohde & Grahl B.V. and Kusch+Co GmbH have the FSC® CoC Product Chain of Custody system in place (which is a support policy for FSC values), thus actively supporting conscious manage- ment of wood as a natural resource. In addition, Kusch+Co GmbH has a parallel product chain of custody system, im- plemented and certified based on the PEFC® standard. (   Click to find out more ). Thus, we contribute to the fight against trading in illegally harvested wood and wood- based products. This is also confirmed by a Due Diligence System implemented in accordance with the requirements of the EU Timber Regulation – EUTR. 91
