As I reflect on the accomplishments and challenges of the past year, I am proud to present JLI vision’s ESG Report for the financial year 2024. The report not only illustrates the improvements we have made in our sustainability journey but also serves as a detailed compass guiding our future endeavors toward environmental responsibility, social equity, and sound governance.
Environmental Commitment
We have dedicated ourselves to a path of continuous improvement in environmental stewardship. Our goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2030 now encompasses not only Scope 1, 2, but also Scope 3 upstream emissions. In 2024, we developed a Carbon Product Footprint report template following our 2023 Life Cycle Analysis, setting the stage for sharing these insights with our customers by 2030. This transparency allows our stakeholders to make more informed, sustainable choices.
I am particularly pleased to report that JLI through our engagement with EcoVadis again have received a gold medal, and this year are placed in the top 5% of rated companies. This accomplishment is a testament to our comprehensive approach to environmental diligence and our collaborative efforts with local partners, which have contributed to our reduced emissions.
Social Responsibility
Our commitment to social responsibility remains unwavering as we prioritize the well-being and growth of our employees. Our initiative "How is life"-meetings reflects our proactive approach to employee wellness, providing a platform for feedback and enhancement of the work environment.
Training remains a cornerstone of our culture, with a notable increase in registered training hours in 2024, enhancing the skills and satisfaction of our team members. Our focus on health and safety is equally robust, with continuing efforts to maintain a safe and healthy workplace.
Governance and Ethics
Governance, built on a foundation of ethics and transparency, is critical to our success. We have implemented stringent measures to uphold business ethics, including regular training and a zero-tolerance policy for bribery. Furthermore, we continue to nurture our internal capabilities to safeguard sensitive data and maintain operational integrity.
Sustainable procurement remains a strategic priority. Despite unforeseen challenges in 2024, we have laid the groundwork for improved supplier engagement, fostering a network that shares our values and sustainability goals.
Looking Forward
As we look ahead to 2025 and beyond, we remain committed to enhancing our ESG performance.
We will persist in our mission to support our stakeholders, through more informed decisions and practices that align with our carbon footprint reduction targets. Engaging suppliers more deeply and applying the lessons from our past dialogues will underpin our future strategies.
Participation in initiatives like the UN Global Compact will continue, as we strive to improve our EcoVadis scores and implement corrective actions derived from the comprehensive feedback we expect in the coming year.
Our ESG journey is not just a compliance necessity but a reflection of who we are and who we aspire to be. We are determined to act transparently, and this report represents an open invitation to join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future.
