Waste management directives such as waste avoidance, minimisation, re-use and recycling strategies are standardised in our overall HSE plans in all projects and are included in all contracts for suppliers and subcontractors. Regular audits are conducted to control and mitigate the risks. The idea is to create a standard concept of waste management and achieve a level of zero hazards to the environment by driving successful waste management, innovative solutions, a working recycling system and the creation of a culture of responsible consumption.

* New areas/measurement for 2022

** District heating was not included in 2021

*** Industry benchmark (2022: 77, 2021: 77)

Scope 2

figure for 2022 does not include energy consumption associated with the operation of Nordic Solar’s solar parks, as the process to obtain this data started in 2022. During 2023, we will develop a structured process regarding the collection of this data.

Scope 3

emissions do not yet include emission figures for materials (solar panels and steel) used for building solar parks. This is only natural since the first solar park, Lysabild, built by Nordic Solar, was completed at the end of 2022. All other solar parks owned by Nordic Solar were built before 2022 by partners and are therefore not included in the 2022 report. District heating was not included in 2021
