Jotun is stepping up the game on renewable energy. In Oman, the sun now provides the paints manufacturer with half of its energy needs.
The Arabic sultanate, blessed with sunshine all year round, is an ideal location for running on solar energy. Jotun Oman recently became one of the global paint company’s first manufacturing sites – as well as one of the first companies in the country – to install solar panels on the roof.
