Reducing emissions from our own operations is a priority and a hygiene factor, but the biggest impact we can have is in the value chain. Promoting circular material flows and constantly innovating new scalable circular solutions, is our best way of contributing to reduced climate emissions, says Miranda.
Ragn-Sells has pledged to contribute with circular solutions that ensure that by 2030 at least 2 million tonnes of emissions (CO2e) per year are avoided. This ambitious goal requires collaborative efforts and increased transparency across material value chains. Partnerships, such as joining the climate initiative Exponential Roadmap Initiative (ERI) is one important way to achieve increased collaboration. ERI’s clear criteria for circular solutions will be an important tool in scaling Ragn-Sells’ efforts to ensure avoided emissions.
In addition, sustainability regulation, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), raises transparency standards and accelerates the sustainability agenda.
– To achieve genuine circularity, we need better insights into all material value chains. The transparency that follows from sustainability reporting standards is key. As a recycler, detoxifier, and producer of recycled raw materials, Ragn-Sells is uniquely positioned
to help partners both upstream and downstream to reduce their emissions, Miranda Jensen concludes.
