SWEX_Swep Exchange 2022

Improved functionality for optimal design

volume. As an example, a new press line was installed in our Slovakian plant in 2021 with an optimized servo power unit. The new press line consumes 75% less energy while delivering 20% higher output in comparison to older press lines. This year we have also installed new vacuum furnaces in our plant in Slovakia, that utilize convection heating and dry pumps, which will further improve energy efficiency in manufacturing. Travels and meetings The ‘new normal’ of post-Covid life has taught us to utilize digital conference tools much more instead of traveling and we continue to see a reduction in business travel compared to 2019. This year we have updated our travel policy with sustainable guidelines and recommendations for more environmentally friendly travel, for the occasions when travel is necessary. Emission offsetting means that any emissions we produce through our daily activities that cannot be eliminated are reduced via investments in carbon sinks, which is any activity that consumes more carbon emissions than it produces. Our primary goal is always to reduce our actual emissions which is why we have chosen to prioritize the activities mentioned above. In order to meet our carbon neutrality goal we may need to offset some emissions, in which case SWEP will choose scientifically proven alternatives. At SWEP, we feel both proud to have taken these steps and confident that we will succeed in our 2030 carbon neutrality goal. n Offset that we cannot reduce ourselves
