Rosti • News • Rosti Group’s Collaboration with Position Green to Measure and Reduce Carbon Footprint

Earlier this year, Rosti Group took a significant step on our sustainability journey by partnering with Position Green, ESG experts, and carbon platform providers. Our initial work has been to accurately measure our carbon footprint, collecting essential data, forming a comprehensive baseline that will guide our Site Champions in minimising our environmental impact.

This foundational data allows us to understand precisely how our business operations generate emissions and highlights the key areas requiring improvement. With results varying across different sites, local teams are now diligently working on identifying and tackling the most significant opportunities for reducing our environmental impact.

Carbon Footprint Analysis

Our analysis revealed that approximately two-thirds of our emissions stem from the materials and parts we purchase for our products. The remaining emissions primarily come from energy consumption. This understanding is crucial as it directs our focus toward areas where we can make the most substantial improvements.

Implementing Initiatives and Committing Resources

For some time we have introducing new measures and evolving our processes to support our customers in reducing their environmental impact. Working closely with Position Green, we are now able to confidently forge ahead to achieve our sustainability objectives, including –

Designing lighter, simpler, and easily recyclable products, we can significantly cut emissions. These designs require less material, energy, and overall resources, leading to a reduced environmental footprint and contribute to the circular economy.

The use of green materials such as recycled or renewable resins and plastics,in our products can lower emissions substantially. Our Innovation Centres are fully equipped to test and validate these materials for our customers, ensuring that sustainability and quality go hand in hand.

Switching to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro, or opting for cleaner fuels such as nuclear power, has already made a notable difference. Nearly half of the energy we purchase today is fossil-free. However, we are committed to doing more. Our Energy Champions at each site are continually working to enhance energy efficiency and identify ways to operate our factories with less energy.

Reducing waste across all business activities not only cuts costs but also minimises emissions. Our projects focused on reducing and reusing resources are integral to this effort, contributing to a more sustainable operation.

Measuring and Targeting for Impact

With a clear understanding of our emissions profile, we can now target our actions for the greatest impact and measure the results accurately. This strategic approach will enable us to reduce our overall carbon footprint effectively and strengthen our role as a responsible partner for our customers.

Commitment to Sustainability

Rosti Group’s collaboration with Position Green marks a pivotal milestone in our sustainability journey. By utilising data-driven insights and existing initiatives, we are well-equipped to make significant strides in reducing our environmental impact across our global footprint.
