Statement by Executive Management Team

Climate change has gained increasing momentum and relevance in recent years. Renewable energy and wind play a significant role in moving away from fossil fuels and toward a more sustainable future.

We at Jupiter Bach are devoted to wind and we are both proud of and dedicated to work in an industry that helps combat climate change, eventually making the world a greener and better place.

Minimizing footprint

Both the products we make and our core values reflect this intent, and we are on a journey to continuously support global compact goals and related initiatives with specific actions and changes in behavior. To mention one, our commitment to sustainability in 2020 includes a switch to green electricity across our manufacturing plants and a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions. Going forward, we will gradually set the bar higher.

Safety first – it’s all about behavior

The safety and well-being of our employees is our highest priority. At Jupiter Bach safety always comes first and Jupiter Bach has a goal of making safe behavior a habit, not an act.

To support this goal and to promote safe behavior we are implementing 3 simple behavior rules:

“The safety and well-being of our employees is our highest priority at Jupiter Bach, and in our common journey towards a zero-based accident culture I’m convinced that the new safety statements will be a tremendous support of that ambition ” says Lars Rytter, COO.

Think twice:
Take a moment up front to ensure that your behavior and actions are safe. If not safe, rethink a safe solution. Never perform unsafe actions. If you cannot see a safe way, raise the issue to your supervisor or your health and safety lead.

Take care:
Always take care of yourself, your colleagues and others around you. Make sure that your behavior and actions are safe for yourself and for everybody around you. “Taking care” gives you the right and the duty to respond and interfere when you see unsafe situations regardless if it’s caused by a colleague, a visitor, a manager or our CEO

Take away hazards:
Be proactive and remove any hazards you see to avoid unsafe situations. Injuries will always have a reason – it’s never bad luck. The reason might be a physical hazard, or a hazard caused by unsafe behaviors. To reduce the risk of injuries we urge you to be proactive and remove any hazards you observe

 

“If we all follow these simple rules, we have come a long way in our strive for a safe culture with zero accidents and workplaces where nobody gets hurt. This concerns all of us” Lone Stubberup states.

Stay safe

Global Director, BPM & QHSE

Delta 4000 nacelle prototype in Spain

We are proud to be part of the first Nordex Group Delta4000 nacelle manufactured in Spain.

Nordex Group has started up producing the high runner Delta nacelle cover at their production site, the La Vall d’Uixó plant in Spain and at Jupiter Bach we are proud to have delivered the first prototype.

The first nacelle for an N149/4.0-4.5 turbine has left the production facility for the Celada III wind farm in Spain.

Series production for the Delta4000 platform started in Rostock in March 2019, and less than nine months later, turbines from this generation are now coming off the production line in La Vall d’Uixó in Spain.

Development, manufacture, project management and servicing of onshore wind turbines has been the core competence of the Nordex Group for 35 years. Jupiter Bach has manufactured more than 55.000 nacelle covers worldwide and we are happy to be a part of the cooperation with Nordex Group.

100% renewable electricity in Jupiter Bach

Jupiter Bach is devoted to wind: 100% of our business is focused on the wind industry. We contribute to the transformation of global energy systems via our product portfolio.

At the same time, we are also committed to constantly improve our global sustainability footprint. As a part of our sustainability strategy we’re yearly calculating our carbon footprint (CO2 emissions).
Analyzing our 2018 and 2019 carbon footprint, it has become obvious that changing our electricity consumption to 100% renewable would be the most significant contribution to minimize our CO2 emissions.

“In Jupiter Bach we will do our part in fighting the climate change and I am very proud that all electricity used in Jupiter Bach from 1st of January 2020 will been certified renewable and primarily coming from wind” says Lone Stubberup, Global Director BMP & QHSE .
Global HSE Manager Enrique Parra Robledo is responsible for tracking and calculating Jupiter Bach’s carbon footprint. He explains that changing to 100% green electricity will reduce our global CO2 emission with 65– 70% (CO2 emissions for purchased electricity is zero).

The CO2 emission from electricity and thereby our total CO2 emission increased in 2019 due to increased activity. However, looking at our CO2 emission per tons consumed glass this index is fairly stable which means that our relative CO2 emission is stable comparing 2018 and 2019.

COO Lars Rytter says “when we initiated our strategy work on Sustainability in Jupiter Bach including signing up for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals implementing green electricity across all sites and offices in our Group was high on the agenda and therefore I’m happy to see the project team turning this task swiftly around and making us “Green” as of January 2020”

Grand opening of Jupiter Bach’s new world class manufacturing site in China

Through our devotion to wind, Jupiter Bach has now completed the expansion of our production footprint in China, by a new state of the art factory in Dezhou, Shandong province, to serve leading wind turbine manufacturers.

Our team in Dezhou (Shandong, China) has celebrated the grand opening of our new factory. It has only taken 9 months from a green field until our team started to move into a functional factory, so it was a very proud General Manager (Martin W. Papsoe) who opened the line of speeches thanking the team and our partners.

The Factory will be nearly 25,000 m2 and will further strengthen the global leadership of Jupiter Bach, delivering high quality and competitive components for the wind industry and thereby supporting the strategy in the industry to further improve levelized cost of energy.

Starting at the design phase, the new factory has been laid out to fulfil the highest environmental standards along with some of the most advanced technological processes in wind turbine composites. High quality and efficiencies were also a major focus when designing and setting up the factor which can be seen in the fully lean approach to floor plan and equipment complemented by automated processes.

The location in Dezhou is strategically chosen to serve both global and local customers in the wind industry and each year more than 50,000 parts will leave the location to be part of wind turbines producing green energy for a cleaner world.

Together with the newly inaugurated factory in Weihai (Shandong, China) Jupiter Bach operates more than 35,000 m2 in China.
