Lecta publishes its 2024 Sustainability Report

With sustainability as a core aspect of our business strategy, Lecta’s 2024 Sustainability Report again underscores the company’s progress in meeting targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) defined for 2030 in its ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) roadmap.

As part of its firm commitment to sustainability, Lecta details its contribution to 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) to promote more sustainable and responsible growth.

“Lecta has made significant progress in sustainability this year, earning external recognition from organizations like EcoVadis and SBTi. As we continue working toward the environmental, social and governance targets set out in our road​map for 2030, Lecta remains focused on generating a positive impact. Our efforts are driven by a clear vision: creating a more sustainable future for the next generations”, states Lecta CEO Gilles Van Nieuwenhuyzen.

At the environmental level, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) validation of our targets to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, represents a key step forward in Lecta’s decarbonization strategy and actions to fight climate change. Meanwhile, the platinum medal obtained in EcoVadis’ rigorous sustainability rating, puts Lecta in the top 1% of the best-performing companies assessed on the platform, and is an important recognition of our efforts to meet ESG criteria.

Fish-friendly hydropower

Hydropower is clean and renewable, but harnessing energy from running water can disrupt aquatic ecosystems. New solutions are being tested to help restore fish stocks. While the sun and wind can be unpredictable, hydropower is an emission-free, renewable method of generating electricity that comes with an added advantage: it is rapidly adjustable. There is no debating that hydropower plants have had a significant effect on migratory fish stocks, as they create obstructions that prevent fish from returning to their home stream for spawning. In certain locations, stocks have collapsed to an endangered level. Finland has adopted a National Fish Passage Strategy prioritising the restoration of the natural reproductive cycle of migratory fish in harnessed waterways. This government programme has seen an additional EUR 8 million in funding allocated for the restoration of fish stocks. Collaborative projects have already been completed in ten different river systems. Restoring fish stocks and preserving biodiversity is a long-term effort requiring committed work for many years into the future. Click read more below for additional detail.
