Environmental

By supporting the sustainability goals and objectives of our customers and minimizing the
impact of our activities, Jotun maintains the environment and providing values. According to the
Jotun Environmental Framework, paints and coatings are essential to a sustainable future. Every
asset needs to be secured, and we are experts in securing property from deterioration and
corrosion. This extends the useful life of assets, lowers the demand on resources, and protects the
environment. Jotun GreenSteps, which was founded in 2010, serves as our foundation for reducing
our environmental impact. The objective is to provide environmentally sustainable goods and
services, decrease the impact of our business operations, and assist our clients in complying with
new legislation and achieving their sustainability objectives. With a focus on the whole process, from
sourcing raw materials to production to distribution, reuse, and recycling, we reduce the
environmental effect at every stage of the value chain. The Life Cycle Analysis will be our primary
instrument for documenting the environmental effect of products, together with additional methods
for sustainability evaluation. All of us are working together, together with reliable partners and loyal
consumers, to achieve our aims. We can only build a truly sustainable and circular economy by
working together.

The circular economy will cause civilization to stop producing trash and instead efficiently recycle
and reuse things. Our key contributions to the circular economy are the creation of long-lasting
goods and services, property protection, and reduced maintenance requirements. Environmental
product declarations outline a product's or solution's environmental effect depending on its place of
manufacture. All our EPDs are created in accordance with ISO standards, published, and confirmed
by third parties. The EPDs from Jotun help green buildings meet LEED and BREEAM standards. We
are also aiming to spread EPDs across more client categories in response to the rising need for
transparency and traceability.
