We supported these efforts with investments in digitalization and automation. We also achieved additional savings through new logistics applications. In 2024, we increased the share of our electricity needs met from renewable energy sources to 80%. Moreover, we saved 435,000 kWh of energy this year and a total of 5.1 million kWh over the last three years, preventing approximately 22,000 tons of carbon emissions with these efforts alone. We continue to steadily reduce our carbon emissions every year,” he said.
