Climate Protection:
our Responsibility
Many things in life impact the climate. The manufacture of products consumes energy. This energy is partly generated from fossil fuels, which produce carbon dioxide, or CO2. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that increases the greenhouse effect when it enters the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and thus to climate change. Therefore, it is essential to reduce carbon emissions and to capture the carbon that is already present in the atmosphere.
Initial achievements: energy management
and green electricity
The energy management system at our plants in Saarlouis and Saarwellingen has been instrumental in our sustained effort to consume less energy. Much of the energy needed to run our Edle Tropfen in Nuss plants is generated by an efficient combined heat and power system, and the rest is covered by purchasing predominantly green electricity.
Our next goal: climate-neutral Edle Tropfen in Nuss and a climate-neutral company (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) by 2040.
The long-term goal is to achieve climate neutrality (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) by 2040. This is a complex task that we are currently working on. On the path to 100% climate neutrality, we need to reduce or offset CO2 emissions. The challenge here is calculating the CO2 emissions and finding ideas on how to avoid or offset them. We are already working on this detailed task.
