Steps towards decarbonising our energy usage In case you missed it - earlier this year, GKN Automotive announced it has signed an agreement with Recurrent Energy, a renewable energy supplier, to cover 65% of its European energy load. It's one part of GKN Automotive's journey towards reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 45% by 2030. Read more about the agreement here: https://lnkd.in/gWcT5nZ7 #Dowlais #Sustainability

Our CEO Liam Butterworth shared his thoughts on how Dowlais Group plc stays agile and responsive to customer demand, through regionalisation of our supply chains and remaining agile to shifts in the market - read more below 👇
In November Dowlais Group plc issued a trading update with our latest trading numbers. We were pleased to be able to update with a performance that was in line with market expectations and to confirm that our full year outlook remains unchanged. We continue to work hard to ensure we stay ahead of what has been a fast-moving automotive market in 2024. One of the reasons we were able to do this is that Dowlais is a truly global business. We operate manufacturing facilities in countries across the world, in the USA, Mexico, across Europe, in China, India and across South East Asia. Dowlais technology and components are in 50% of all light vehicles worldwide, and we supply more than 90% of the world’s OEMs. This is because of our decisions to deliberately reorganise the business to ensure with have the best strategy for serving customers worldwide, adapting to regional and local nuances. This includes regionalising the Dowlais supply chain – something we have achieved over a number of years - which allows us to respond closely to the needs of the many customers which operate across different territories. In practice, this means that when we supply a customer in North America we do so with parts that we manufacture in that market, and ditto for Europe, China, India and the other markets we serve. This accepts that our customers may have different needs according to different regional environments across the globe, whether that be variations in legislative frameworks or consumer demand. It is also a reminder that we must, first and foremost, be aligned to those needs in order for our business to be successful. The other side of the coin is agility. The automotive market has always moved at pace and never more so than now, with all the seismic changes taking place (that I’ve spoken to over the past few months with the Sunday Times and here on LinkedIn). We’ve been proactive in reducing overcapacity in certain markets, which has allowed us to redeploy investment and resources where it’s most effective. None of this is an easy task. The Dowlais team works hard to remain abreast of the market and to position us to prepare for shifts so we remain best placed to deliver for the business. #Dowlais
