Hempel has received from Vestas the Sustainability Award 2020 for supporting them on their journey to become CO\2\ neutral by 2030.
Vestas and Hempel have recently signed a new strategic partnership to cooperate around innovative solutions for surface protection of wind turbines, in order to reduce surface treatment costs and support sustainable coating solutions.
As a part of the partnership, Hempel has identified multiple initiatives that can reduce both CO2 and waste at the Vestas site in Pueblo, Colorado.
All this is part of Hempel's new growth strategy, which aims at understanding customer's sustainability challenges and providing data-drive improvements, and which is set to double Hempel in size in the next five years.
"To receive this prize from Vestas, a true sustainability frontrunner, is a great honour, and an acknowledgment of Hempel's aspiration of being the trusted sustainability partner for our customers", commented Lars Petersson, Group President & CEO.
"It is a priority for us in Vestas to encourage our suppliers' sustainability pursuits. We are impressed with Hempel's commitment to finding more sustainable solutions and their long-term ambition to drive change in their industry. For these reasons, we are pleased to award the Vestas Sustainability Award 2020 to Hempel," says Lisa Ekstrand, Head of Sustainability at Vestas.
