DyStar reports greenhouse gas improvement
16/08/2013
In 2012, DyStar implemented a cloud-based data gathering system, with real-time emission calculation for the global organisation, which the company says has greatly improved the accuracy of the report. It also expanded the boundaries of its carbon footprint assessment to include emission sources that were previously excluded.
Compared to the base year 2010, DyStar reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 13% in 2012, partly accounted for by the closure of two of its most carbon intensive production plants with production re-located to other facilities that had invested heavily in state-of-the-art, energy-efficient production technologies.
“Our aim is to continuously improve upon our emission performance,” said the group’s global sustainability manager, Dr Charu Jain, on releasing the new report. “By 2020, I am confident that, with the numerous initiatives we have in place, we can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 20% while still delivering healthy growth in our business, and continuing to deliver best-in-class products and services.”
