How we manage our climate impact
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the world’s most widely used standard for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. The protocol divides emissions into three categories:
- Scope 1 includes direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by us, such as factories and vehicles.
- Scope 2 encompasses indirect emissions from purchased energy, such as electricity and heating.
- Scope 3 includes other indirect emissions across the value chain, such as materials from suppliers, inbound and outbound transport, and waste management.
Minimal climate impact from our direct emissions
Looking at Scope 1 category, we have never depended on fossil fuels for heating or engaged in chemical processes that contribute to climate change during production. Our electric forklifts and electric & hybrid vehicle policies minimize our direct emissions.
-
No fossil fuels or chemical processes in the factory
-
Electric forklifts only
-
Electric and hybrid vehicle policy for all company cars
85% lower climate impact per unit
Regarding Scope 2 category, we have reduced our climate impact from purchased energy by over 85% through investments in green energy and energy efficiency. These efforts are integral to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving our sustainability goals.
-
New and more efficient ventilation systems
-
Installed low-energy lighting and motion sensors
-
Energy supply primarily from renewable hydropower
Focusing on indirect emissions
Scope 3 is the most extensive and complex category of emissions reporting as it covers all indirect emissions throughout the value chain. To effectively reduce these emissions, we have initiated thorough mapping and taken concrete measures to reduce our climate footprint:
-
Reduced waste and 100% recycling in the factory
-
Shorter transport distances for incoming deliveries
-
100% climate-compensated outgoing deliveries
Our efforts for social sustainability
Fighting world hunger
There are significant imbalances in the global food supply chains: approximately 735 million people live in hunger, while over 1.9 billion people suffer from overweight or obesity. We are committed to fighting world hunger by actively supporting the UN World Food Programme and its mission to provide food assistance to those in need.
