OUR PATH TO CLIMATE NEUTRALITY

OUR PATH TO CLIMATE NEUTRALITY

Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and declining biodiversity are alarming consequences of rapidly changing climate conditions. Climate change affects the entire world, affecting every one of us. This is why we must do everything possible to achieve climate neutrality by the mid-21st century and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This threshold, identified as safe by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was adopted as a binding target by 195 countries in the Paris Climate Agreement.

The path to climate neutrality is straightforward: "Reduce & Compensate." We are actively taking responsibility as part of this global effort.

1. We minimize our company's CO2 emissions to the greatest extent possible.

Building on the construction and infrastructure initiatives already in place to reduce the CO2 footprint at our Gersthofen site, we are committed to long-term efforts to further decrease the carbon impact of our products. By increasing the use of recycled and bluesign® certified materials, alongside adopting sustainable technologies with a lower CO2 footprint, we are making significant strides. According to ECOS, extending product life cycles alone contributes 10% to footprint reduction, resulting in an 8% decrease in CO2 emissions, a 10% reduction in water usage, and a 9% reduction in waste—all while lowering resource consumption costs by 9%.  

However, even with the greatest efforts, we cannot get a product to be climate neutral. That's why we offset selected products and our company site in cooperation with ClimatePartner.

2. We offset any remaining CO2 emissions that we are unable to further reduce.

When recording and calculating the remaining CO2 emissions - the so-called CO2 footprint - emissions from energy procurement as well as energy and fuel consumption are taken into account. In addition, emissions from upstream supply chains are recorded in order to be able to make complete product lines and production sites CO2 -neutral. To this end, we work together with the experts at ClimatePartner. They identify and develop offset projects worldwide. For our current climate-neutral products, we have chosen three social and climate protection projects.
