Cloudberry Annual report 2022 Sustainability report 60 Improving the circularity of our internal resource use is an area where we have more control and accordingly have taken more concrete actions. Everything starts with how we consider our ESG goals in our daily decisions and work. In 2022 Cloudberry moved into new offices in Oslo, Norway and established an office in Eskilstuna, Sweden. All furniture in both offices is second hand and in the Oslo office we have reused most of the glass walls that split the internal departments. Recycled material and reuse in procurement is a way of increasing the circularity of our resource use. Way forward During spring 2022, Cloudberry acquired the long-begun project Sundby that was abandoned during construction, with the foundations unused. For a long time, the project was ignored due to the rapid development of technology, but the recent high electricity prices and strained electricity supply situation made it important to develop electricity capacity wherever possible. Cloudberry believes that it is possible to refine the project through climate-smart reuse or “making use of unused infrastructure”. At Sundby Vindpark, a significant part of the existing infrastructure such as foundations, roads and support structures will be reused. In collaboration with our supplier there will be specially designed turbine towers fitting onto the previously constructed foundations. This will reduce the GHG emissions compared to if the infrastructure had been dismantled. Even the existing underground cables within the wind farm will be reused, which will result in less need for new materials as well as a reduction in ground disturbance and impact on nature. On a higher level, we plan to explore further opportunities for reducing our material use and increasing the circularity of the material use we can’t avoid. At the same time, we are working to establish a KPI, such as reused and recycled material in procurement, which will allow us to monitor our circularity over time and ensure that we improve.
