Results of environmental activities
Arjo works actively to make improvements to production in accordance with established environmental goals. During the year, Arjo increased its net sales by 3.9% organically, but nonetheless, energy consumption and carbon emissions remained at the same level as in 2019. Hazardous waste comprises less than 1% of Arjo’s total waste and was further reduced in 2020. Recycling increased during the year. Arjo met all environmental goals for 2020 and the results are presented in the graphs below.
