KISTA, Sweden, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Munters has increased its financial mid-term target for net sales growth and updated its strategic sustainability targets, including a commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The net sales growth target and the strategic sustainability targets will be presented more in detail today at the Capital Markets Day (CMD).
New mid-term financial target for net sales growth:
- an average annual total net sales growth of more than 14 per cent over a business cycle.
Previous mid-term financial target for net sales growth:
- an average annual organic net sales growth of 10 per cent over a business cycle.
Munters is positioned towards markets with strong underlying growth, such as the data center cooling market, the battery market, clean technologies and digital solutions for the food industry. For the coming years, Munters anticipates a new growth wave with net sales to be driven by organic as well as M&A driven growth. Therefore, Munters is now committing to a new total net sales growth target.
"Munters is well positioned and in a growth phase, building on major achievements in recent years. With continued investments for growth and an increased focus on our M&A agenda, I am confident we will continue on a strong growth trajectory over the coming years," says Klas Forsström, President and CEO of Munters.
In addition, Munters has set strategic sustainability targets which include taking the next step in future proofing the company in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement. Munters has therefore committed to setting near-term emission reductions in line with the SBTi. By committing to the SBTi, Munters will have the previously set targets for Scope 1 and 2 validated and set new targets for Scope 3.
"Our new strategic sustainability targets and commitment to the SBTi underline our firm ambition to accelerate our sustainability agenda. Through these ambitious climate goals, we not only reinforce our own commitment but also aim to inspire the rest of the industry to move towards a more sustainable future," says Klas Forsström.
New strategic sustainability targets 2030:
- Reduce CO2e emissions: Scope 1&2: Net zero, and Scope 3: reduction in line with the Paris agreement 1.5°C.
- Gender equity: Women in Workforce & Women leaders to reach 30%.
- Code of Conduct: Continuous improvements in compliance with
Munters Codes of Conduct, targeting 100% compliance for the Employee Code of Conduct, 100% for the Supplier Code of Conduct* and a continuous increase in compliance of the Customer Code Conduct.
