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 CO2 emissions and secondly, to increasingly switch to renewable sources.
Initial achievements: energy management
and green electricity
At our Edle Tropfen in Nuss plants, we work with energy management systems to reduce energy consumption and therefore CO2 emissions. We also use 100% green electricity there and work with an efficient combined heat and power plant.
Our next goal: climate-neutral Edle Tropfen in Nuss and a climate-neutral (net-zero) company (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) by 2040.
The long-term goal is to achieve climate neutrality (net-zero; 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.
