Sustainability is a Team Sport – Together We Make a Difference!

 

Blowtech's ambition is to become a leading player in sustainability. Our sustainability efforts have been ongoing for several years, providing us with new knowledge and experience along the way. Among our employees, there is a fundamental awareness and a strong desire for change. We will continue to develop our working methods to ultimately make a difference for the environment and reduce our carbon footprint together.

Sustainability Through Collaboration

"For us, sustainability work is not just about our own company’s efforts – it is a team sport. We see the importance of supporting our suppliers in their sustainability initiatives, creating strong networks, and sharing knowledge. It is crucial for us to learn, communicate, and gather experiences to drive progress forward," says Mikael Good, Purchasing and Sustainability Manager at Blowtech GP.

The Sustainability Pledge – Part of Our Commitment

To further develop our sustainability work, we have chosen to sign up for the Sustainability Pledge. This is an initiative for companies in Jönköping County aimed at contributing to Sweden’s environmental goals and the global goals for sustainable development in Agenda 2030. Through the Sustainability Pledge, companies receive:

  • Increased knowledge and concrete proposals for measures to help companies take new steps in their sustainability work.
  • Networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities with other companies and organizations that have high ambitions in environmental and climate efforts.
  • Preparation for future requirements in sustainability reporting.
  • Visibility by participating as a role model at various events.

"We will continue to strengthen internal knowledge to ensure engagement and understanding among every employee," Mikael continues.

Smart Solutions for a Sustainable Future

As a manufacturing company with profitability requirements, we constantly seek smart solutions that combine economic sustainability with environmental responsibility. Some of the measures we are currently working on include:

  • Developing our waste management to minimize waste and optimize the recycling of our own materials within our own processes.
  • Investigating a solution for recycling waste heat, which could reduce energy consumption.

Sustainability Across the Entire Value Chain

For Blowtech, it is important to analyze the entire value chain. "The incoming material represents the largest share in the climate calculations for our products, so we have a strong collaboration to find the best solutions for our process," says Mikael.

The Future of Sustainability Work

By actively working with sustainability, we become more attractive to customers, partners, and future employees, while also being better prepared for future laws and regulations. "We want to be a role model and inspire other companies because sustainability work is a team sport, not just within our own company but throughout society," Mikael concludes.
