Targets

Targets The Sustainability Report may contain two types of targets: long-term targets and operational targets. Long-term targets have centrally been set at Group Function level like for energy consumption. Operational targets are part of the normal Operational Plan Cycle and are set locally by the production unit to fulfil the long-term targets.

Each production unit sets annual operational targets for a number of parameters (e.g. safety, electricity consumption, water consumption) for the three years to come. The targets are influenced by, for example, changes of production volume and projects. The aggregated company target of a parameter is the volume-average of site targets. Therefore, these targets can differ over the years due also to acquisitions and divestments.
