6th and 7th Green Day held in Estonia Our next two Green Days were held in Estonia, on April 22th and 23th with 28 people, actively engaged for creation of the Fresks and brainstorming the best ideas for implementation. During the Brainstorm many ideas were presented how to help to reduce the CO2 consumption in Nefab. We are ready and waiting forward our next Green Days in May!
Since 1970, April 22nd marks the official celebration of Earth Day, a day to reflect on the movement towards a greener, more sustainable future and to raise awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Celebrate our earth by making climate friendly choices. Find out how you can contribute: https://www.earthday.org/earth-day-2024/
Another exciting Green Day took place on April 9th. The two teams worked amazingly well together and tackled the science of climate change, creating fantastic and colorful Fresks. The theme was all about reducing consumption and that led to inspiring brainstorm of ideas on how to save resources in Nefab. With all the new knowledge and better understanding, the participants left the room hopeful, that together we can stop climate change.
Happy to share that we had 13 people on our forth workshop, actively engaged for creation of the Fresk and brainstorming the best ideas for implementations. Groups called their Fresks "Valley of Troubles" and "No Human, No Problem". There were around 70 ideas raising from Brainstorm, starting from small initiatives which could support the changes reducing the CO2 on the roads, for example using electrical vehicles for Transportation, up to more complex ideas, for example to reduce the amount of packaging film, use less wood and have environmental friendly FSC/PEFC materials everywhere in Nefab. We are looking forward next Climate Fresk workshop already next week!
Happy to share that we had 12 people on yesterdays workshop, actively engaged for creation of the Fresk and brainstorming the best ideas for implementation. Groups called their Fresks " Broken heart" and "Every Bee counts". There were around 70 ideas raising from Brainstorm, starting from small initiatives which could support the changes reducing the CO2 on the road to work, like parking place for bikes and charging point for electrical vehicles, up to more complex ideas, for example to use environmental friendly/ reusable materials, to have a Footprint Database/ Analysis´of all Materials we use in Nefab. Next Workshop already in two weeks!

We are happy to announce that the first Green Day in Estonia took place yesterday February 22nd. Climate Fresk once again proved how in short time it can give so much insight on the causes and consequences of climate change. We thank our 13 participants for enthusiastic Fresk and amazing ideas they shared on how to tackle climate change in Nefab!
As we are preparing for out first Green Day to take place in February, we took a step back to look at the improvements we have already made to help Nefab Estonia be more climate friendly. Here are some we are the proudest of: • Our factory only uses renewable energy from 2021. • Switched to LED lighting on our factory outer territory and use motion sensors on all the storage areas. This change helps us reduce our electricity consumption by approx 10 000 kWh/year. • Switching from gas forklifts to electric forklifts by 2030. As a pilot project, Nefab Estonia has switched 2 gas forklifts to electric ones to evaluate their features and to reduce our CO2 emisions by approx 10 tons/year. • In 2024 solar panels will be installed on the roof of Nefab Estonia production facility. These will cover around 15% of our daily energy consumption and contribute to reduction of C02 emissions by 384 tons/year of the Estonian electricity market.
