Notably, the extremely high energy prices affected our customers and ourselves. These impacts made it challenging to justify some costs in the short term. Nevertheless, we continued to support our customers on their sustainability journey, and we made progress on Jiffy\u2019s own sustainability goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use more sustainable resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce plastics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contribute to the circular economy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce our footprint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring these challenging and uncertain times, we remain committed to our sustainability goals,\u201d confirms Richard Stevenson, Jiffy Sustainability Manager. \u201cWorking on a five-year plan gives us the flexibility to adjust our approach if needed, without sacrificing our ambitious targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"91tgs\">Sustainability goal: Use more sustainable resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jiffy\u2019s target is to obtain 50% of total raw materials from sustainable sources by the end of 2025. The steps we took toward that goal in 2022 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased sales of sustainable fibers at Zwijndrecht, Netherlands, our largest substrate plant, by 381% compared to our 2020 baseline year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Began construction of an Innovation Center to expand our research capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Started working with a Lifecycle Analysis Tool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certified our European peat fields under the Responsibly Produced Peat scheme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_33219\/00974-2021-jiffy-group-labo-1plant-print-4_55ad6fd3c64ee0f30c2f0d134ea783d2_800.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>Construction of our Innovation Center began in 2022.

Supply chain disruptions continued to reduce the availability of certain raw materials in 2022, slowing progress on this goal. Nevertheless, Jiffy succeeded in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reducing packaging emissions at Zwijndrecht, Netherlands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switching Jiffy-7 polyroll made in Norway to a PLA underlayer, the same biodegradable material used in standard Jiffy Pellets and Jiffy Growblock nets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adopting pallet separation sheets made from 100% recycled content for Preforma plugs produced in Spain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"e93jc\">Sustainability goal: Contribute to the circular economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue to contribute to a more circular economy through our commitment to switching to recycled and recyclable plastics and other packaging. Initiatives included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finding suppliers of reliable, high-quality post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switching several home gardening products to home-recyclable plastics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introducing local recovery and reuse of pallets and cartons, and ensuring packaging can be easily recycled where reuse is not workable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a43tj\">Sustainability goal: Reduce our footprint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our five-year goal is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 25%. Energy price volatility increased costs for ourselves and our customers, and underlined the need to be less dependent on fossil fuels. In 2022 we:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased renewable electricity to almost 18%, up from 6% in 2020<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced CO\u2082 emissions from electricity by more than 20% compared to 2020, despite increased production activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continued to transition the company vehicle fleet to electric or hybrid engines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_33219\/renewable-electricity-as-of-total_425bd9ff45e709ef0ee98b870f931bc5_800.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Renewable electricity rose to 18% of total consumption in 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe work we did in 2022 will continue to bear fruit as we enter the second half of our sustainability plan,\u201d says Richard. \u201cAs we focus more attention on our value chain<u>,<\/u> we will work more closely with customers and suppliers to reduce our combined impacts in future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s work together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jiffy is a\u202fleading global supplier\u202fof premium growing media\u202fand solution thinking.
