We are proactively managing our impact on the environment with a prioritization on circularity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.FY23 Planet highlights
At James Hardie, we are setting ambitious goals as responsible stewards around reducing emissions, minimizing waste, and saving water.
CUTTING CARBON FOOTPRINT
Meeting the challenges of a changing world
We must continuously innovate for a low-carbon world using a science-based approach. By addressing both the raw materials that go into our products and our manufacturing processes, we can reduce the carbon footprint of our products. Through our Low-Carbon Cement Technology Roadmap, we are striving to drive down the impact of cement in our products by at least 50%.
RAISING OUR LEVEL OF AMBITION
Reducing our GHG emissions
We're steadfast in our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By optimizing our manufacturing processes, exploring renewable energy sources, and investing in more sustainable technologies, we're striving to decrease our carbon footprint.
GOAL ON TARGET
Saving water
When it comes to water conservation, we're right on track with our goals. By 2030, our aim is to recycle an additional 20 million cubic feet of water annually compared to our baseline in CY19.
RAISING OUR LEVEL OF AMBITION
Minimizing waste
We raised our ambition to zero manufacturing waste to landfill by 2035.
SUSTAINABILITY STORIES
Coming full circle
In Europe, our fermacell™ fiber gypsum boards promote circularity with two recycling programs, resulting in negative cradle-to-gate CO2 emissions and CO2 storage during their lifecycle. Our waste takeback initiatives salvage trim cuttings and disassembled customer products, recycling them into new boards. Approximately 30% of our gypsum comes from waste from dismantled homes, while 100% of our manufacturing waste is reused, and our fiber is sourced entirely from wastepaper.
