Clean water at home
Solar water is a Swedish innovation that helps families purify water. At the moment, around one billion people live without access to clean water and electricity. That is, one in seven people. If you were one of them, you would need to use about 4-5 hours each day to fetch water and fuel to heat and boil it clean. With clean water at home, the chances of getting time to go to school or work increase, which is a path out of poverty.
OUR SIX GOALS FOR INCREASED SUSTAINABILITY
Lahden Teräteos, Micor Tooling and LSAB Group Sustainability targets

Within LTT we only use 100% renewable energy
