We care about our environment

At GPV, caring for the environment is embedded in our operations, as we work to reduce our footprint and enable a more resilient future.

Turning climate ambitions into action

We take a structured and long-term approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations. Our target is to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity by 70% by 2028, based on a 2020 baseline.

This ambition builds on years of focused energy optimisation efforts and is supported by increasing the share of renewable energy, including investments in on‑site solar installations at selected locations. We work with continuous improvements in energy efficiency across production and facilities, and regular local energy audits to identify and implement further reduction opportunities. Together, these initiatives help translate our climate ambitions into measurable progress.

Solar powered sites

Expanding solar energy is a key driver of our progress. Today, five of our sites generate renewable electricity from on‑site solar panels, producing more than 6 GWh annually. These investments help reduce electricity consumption, increase resilience to energy price fluctuations, and support a more stable and sustainable energy supply.

Improving energy efficiency

Most of our sites have transitioned to LED lighting, supported by the introduction of smart thermostats and sensors to better manage energy use. Together, these improvements deliver significant energy savings, reduce our carbon footprint, and support more efficient and responsible operations across our sites.

More comprehensive environmental agenda

We work strategically with sustainability and have initiated a process to map possibilities and environmental initiatives that will form the foundation for achieving the objectives of our climate and environmental efforts.

Our main focus is on managing and minimising waste in production and continually working on compliance with conflict minerals legislation and European chemicals legislation, the so-called REACH and RoHS regulations as well as other relevant legislation.
