Sustainability at DOVISTA
Throughout 2021 we have been working with the DOVISTA Sustainability Strategy adopted in 2020. This strategy is built upon a solid foundation of documented corpo- rate responsibility established by our Model Company objectives. It addresses the challenges that we see for people and planet today and, even more significantly, for the coming decades. DOVISTA’s Sustainability Strategy has three strategic focus areas centred on fighting climate change, ena- bling the customer and conducting responsible busi- ness. As a European market leader in the production and sale of vertical windows and exterior doors, we are very aware of our responsibility to offer socially ben- eficial solutions. Our consultancy provides the foun- dation for a healthy indoor climate and lower energy consumption for both new and renovated buildings. We see it as a clear commitment to be our customers’ most trusted partner in creating sustainable solutions. This means operating in a way that is protective and respectful of our common environment and responsi- ble with relation to our common resources. One of the areas where we continue to make a dedicated effort is in the reduction of our own CO2
emissions, which we understand as the environmen- tal topic most material and challenging for DOVIS- TA and our industry as a whole. In 2021, DOVISTA established a collaboration with Schneider Electric to have all Group reporting processes reorganized in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and we are currently working in support of the Paris Agreement’s goal to be a NetZero provider by 2050. In the first half of 2022, DOVSISTA will focus on cre- ating a new baseline for energy consumption and emissions. This new baseline will include the two large European window divisions acquired in 2021 that have nearly doubled our number of employ- ees, product platforms, production sites and market coverage. We will use this as an opportunity to re- assess our objectives and connect them to a series of specific short and long-term activities. This overall update of our baselines will also enable target set- ting for a number of other climate and environment activities including waste management, packaging, resource consumption and water consumption.

In 2020 we changed our accounting practice in line with the GHG Protocol. This has meant that we now include all production, all offices and all fleet, and have also included a location based emissions factor for calculating CO 2 e per unit produced. This new accounting practice meant an increase from 14.1 to 18.2 tones CO 2 e in 2020, while our overall emissions were reduced over the same period.
