We invite you to learn a little about the thought process behind this important work and the results we\u2019ve reached together with our business partners and customers. Here\u2019s a taste of the full report.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kornit\u2019s Sustainability Pillars<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our sustainability motto is simple yet profound: &#8220;Enable the Change&#8221; and &#8220;Be the Change.&#8221; The first goal is to give companies across the industry the tools and knowledge needed to improve their footprint. The second pillar calls for Kornit\u2019s own policies to create a better society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We consider ourselves and our partners agents of the change we must create in the fashion world and beyond. Without the dedication and direct involvement of leading forces in the industry, the necessary shift will not happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kornit\u2019s sustainability strategy is focused on two meaningful domains: &#8216;Planet&#8217; and &#8216;People.&#8217; Sustainability and social goals go hand in hand, and we combine environmental goals with diversity-oriented ones. \u201cWe take our responsibility seriously to foster an industry that is cleaner and safer, as well as one that is more responsible and diverse,\u201d stated Ronen Samuel, Kornit\u2019s CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Some Impactful Highlights<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022In 2022, Kornit\u2019s customers harnessed our technology for the greater good. They managed to save 1.5 billion kilograms of GHG emissions, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/greenvehicles\/tailpipe-greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle#:~:text=typical%20passenger%20vehicle%3F-,A%20typical%20passenger%20vehicle%20emits%20about%204.6%20metric%20tons%20of,around%2011%2C500%20miles%20per%20year.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the equivalent of taking hundreds of thousands of cars off the roads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In addition, a staggering 252 million kilowatts and 320 billion liters of water were conserved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022Thanks to our efforts, Kornit was recognized as a Bluesign\u00ae System Partner, a coveted title that celebrates companies championing chemical safety. Our new state-of-the-art ink manufacturing site in Kiryat Gat features 1,000 square meters of solar panels, allowing us to genuinely embrace solar energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u202288% of non-hazardous waste got a new life instead of heading to landfills, representing a 57% year-on-year increase. We\u2019re working tirelessly to improve and implement new creative, innovative ideas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u202247% of our company\u2019s new hires in 2022 were women.
