As part of the Paris climate protection agreement, the goal was set of limiting global warming to 1.5 0C by reducing climate-relevant emissions. The current global situation raises doubts as to whether this target can be met. However, Pfleiderer remains committed to the Paris climate targets and is implementing various measures to reduce its carbon footprint to zero by 2050. As a first interim step, we are aiming to reduce emissions in the following three areas by 21% by 2025 compared to 2020: - Direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) - Greenhouse gas emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2) - Greenhouse gas emissions, e.g. from purchased chemical products - Greenhouse gas emissions e.g. from upstream products (Scope 3) Key levers of Pfleiderer's sustainability strategy, which is to be implemented along the entire global value chain, are - the widest possible use of renewable energies - the replacement of fossil raw materials in the manufacture of products with the lowest possible emissions - the optimisation of production processes and transport routes - involving partners and suppliers in the implementation of the sustainability strategy - the expansion of circular economy models Energy efficiency and climate protection go hand in hand here at Pfleiderer. 84% of the energy at Pfleiderer sites was already generated from biomass in 2022. In 2023, more than 90% of the energy for heat and electricity was produced with our own combined heat and power generation.
