Sustainable desiccants Circular economy program Our progress 2020 was the year when we escalated our ambitions within sustainability by reducing the CO₂ footprint of our container desiccants through re-engineering, lower-plastic designs, and improved sourcing. We decided to certify our Management System according to ISO 14001:2015, the international standard for environmental management systems. This certification demonstrates that we systematically manage our environmental responsibilities, set measurable environmental targets, comply with legal requirements, and continually improve our environmental performance. And we set a goal to reduce our CO2 footprint for our container desiccants. At the same time, we re-worked our Code of Conduct and made it our guidelines on how to act in our day-to-day work. But the Code of Conduct are also guidelines for our partners and suppliers. We don’t have time to postpone actions for a sustainable future and in early 2021 we introduced a new range of desiccant the lowest carbon footprint. We also introduced a circular economy program called Return-to-Reuse. But these were just the first steps. There is more to come!
