The on-going discussion of climate change and the environment gained great following in the last couple of years. Nowy Styl has been conscious of the emissions that have contributed to this climate change and has taken responsibility to ensure that its business activities and products are conducted in a sustainable and responsible manner. 

Nowy Styl is also undergoing audits by EcoVadis. This year, the company achieved the highest possible rating and was awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal. Only 1% of companies around the world approaching certification get such a high score. This confirms that we manage processes efficiently and can guarantee the security of cooperation.

In 2023 the CO2 emissions were 50% reduced in comparison with the results in 2018. 
The main reason for this is the fact that we bought green energy from wind and solar and the turnover was increased which led to a better ratio of the CO₂ versus turnover.

As a result, we have decided to increase our CO₂ reduction target from 30% to 50% in 2025 compared to 2018 (the target relates to the relative emissions linked to the annual turnover defined as the revenue from the sale of products and services without other operating and financial. 

CO₂ Objectives

As of 2019 Nowy Styl uses the Dutch CO₂ Performance Ladder - sustainability support system for companies to manage their carbon footprint and reduce CO₂ emissions. According to its methodology, we calculate the carbon footprint for Nowy Styl in Poland, in Germany (Nowy Styl Deutschland GmbH) and Nowy Styl in the Netherlands.

In our calculations and efforts, we focus on the organization's direct and indirect emissions - which translates to Scopes 1 and 2 according to the GHG Protocol methodology.

Nowy Styl has the objective to reduce 7,1% annual until 2025.

Scope 1 – direct emissions from fuel consumption at sources owned or controlled by the organisation: 10% reduction in 2025 compared to 2018. 

Scope 2 – indirect emissions coming mainly from the consumption of electricity produced in external  installations: 50% reduction in 2025 compared to 2018.

Scope 1 and 2 objective Nowy Styl*
Nowy Styl produces 50% less CO₂ emissions in 2025 compared to 2018*

*These objectives are related to the annual turnover of Nowy Styl

CO2 emissions in 2023

The direct GHG-emissions of Nowy Styl in 2023 are 8 168 t CO2 (scope 1), the indirect GHG-emissions are 5 450 t CO₂ (scope 2) and business air travel are 445 t. This calculates to a total of 14 063 t CO^₂-emissions in scope 1, 2 and business air travel for 2023.
 

What we have done in 2023?

The most important reduction measure is the purchase of 6 600 MWh of sustainable electricity in Poland, generated from wind or solar sources. Also the Dutch offices are buying green energy from The Netherlands. 

Proposed Reduction Measures
- Application of sustainable electricity by wind turbines or solar at production facilities in Poland;
- Buy energy efficient machines to optimise production;
- Energy efficiency of 2% in heating in the German offices;
- Use digital conference system(s) to minimize the number of flights;
- Dutch offices are looking into going over to LED lighting in the offices;
- Dutch offices are choosing for full electric vehicles, the goal is to have four vehicles in 2025.

You have an impact on the environment. Turn off the lights, turn off the monitor when not in use, and save energy. We are always in search of possibilities to reduce CO₂ emissions. If you have ideas, please let us know.
