Ambitious target<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the start of 2021, Jiffy Group announced an ambitious target to reduce its global CO2<\/sub> emissions from production processes and logistics: 25% by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made a strong start in 2021, avoiding over 1,700 tons of emissions. The equivalent of more than 2,000 economy flights from London to New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get there, Jiffy \u2013 growing to become the innovation and service leader in sustainable plant growing solutions \u2013 is exploring opportunities to generate renewable electricity at its production locations. Where that isn\u2019t feasible, it finds suppliers of \u2018clean\u2019 electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, Jiffy\u2019s 1Plant substrate and Preforma factories in the Netherlands aren\u2019t suitable for generating onsite renewable energy. That\u2019s why both locations have converted to buying 100% sustainable wind power. This will reduce emissions by 1,100 tons of CO2 <\/sub>a year (compared to 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching equipment to biodiesel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jiffy\u2019s global production and harvesting activities consume over one million liters of fuel oil, emitting more than 2,700 tons of CO2 <\/sub>eachyear. The global project to convert equipment to biodiesel is already seeing results. For instance, Jiffy Sweden has already converted its peat harvesting equipment, reducing its annual CO2<\/sub> emissions by 240 tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just CO2<\/sub><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biodiesel significantly reduces emissions that are harmful to both the environment and humans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
