Improved sustainability in 2023 – new goals for 2024

Improved sustainability in 2023 – new goals for 2024

The HITSA Group, to which Lampas belongs, achieved positive results for people and the environment in 2023. However, there is still much work to do in terms of sustainability for the future, as shown by this year’s CSR report.

In environmental terms, further progress was made in 2023. The HITSA Group reduced its gas, electricity, petrol and diesel consumption, and CO2 emissions decreased again, with emissions in 2023 10% lower than in 2022.

With regard to social sustainability, it was a quieter year, in which we reviewed our goals. However, we achieved them, and the group’s goals for social inclusion now seem to be at a realistic level.

“I am very pleased with our results for the year, and I also believe we can achieve further reductions in the future. We continue to work ambitiously to take responsibility for our impact on people and the environment,” says Henrik Andersen, CEO.

“Looking back, we have succeeded in delivering results several years in a row because we worked out a strategy back in 2019 and allocated resources to implement it. Hitsa’s ISO 14001 certification in 2022 gave us a good management system for driving things forward. These are factors that have been crucial to us achieving results,” he says.

Lampas is set to be included in the ISO 14001 certification in 2024.

CO2 remains high on the agenda

For the future, the HITSA Group will work on further reducing CO2 emissions, energy consumption and waste and improving social sustainability, in the words of Sustainability Officer Josephine Husted Jespersen.

“We are expanding our CO2 accounts to include Scope 3 and we are under way with life cycle assessments for selected products for HITSA and Lampas. This will provide data and knowledge for further initiatives. For example, we can discuss materials with our suppliers, we can ensure less wastage when designing products, and many other things,” she says.

Josephine is also looking forward to working with the rest of the CROWD Group, to which HITSA and Lampas belong, on reducing CO2 emissions using SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative).

Report prepared for CSRD

The report covers the entire group, i.e. Lampas and HITSA in Denmark, HITSA AB in Sweden and VT East Sia in Latvia. This year, the report has been divided into E, S and G (Environmental, Social and Governance) sections in preparation for the CROWD Group reporting in accordance with the corporate sustainability reporting directive (CSRD) from 2025.
