Step 1
Carbon footprint icon

Carbon footprints

The corporate carbon footprint (CCF) is the starting point for climate action. The CCF gives you clear insights into a company's greenhouse gas emissions - for example, you can identify where the carbon hotspots are and define emission reduction measures accordingly to mitigate the company's climate impact effectively.

This carbon footprint calculation covers data from the period January 2022 - December 2022

Carbon footprint (in CO₂ equivalents):

48,090,319.35 Kg CO₂

Included in the carbon footprint

Different emission sources, called scopes, are covered by the carbon footprint. All scope 1 and scope 2 emissions are included in this carbon footprint, while only applicable scope 3 emissions are included. The scopes are defined as follows:
  • Scope 1 includes all directly generated emissions that a company controls, for example fuel for company cars.
  • Scope 2 includes indirect emissions caused by purchased energy, for example electricity.
  • Scope 3 includes indirect emissions from a company's activities, which may cover, for example, employee commuting, logistics, and the production of raw materials.
Scope 3 emissions included in this carbon footprint:
Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in scope 1 or scope 2
Employee commuting
Business travel
Purchased goods and services
Capital goods
Upstream transportation and distribution
Waste generated in operations
Upstream leased assets
Downstream transportation and distribution
Processing of sold products
Use of sold products
End-of-life treatment of sold products
Downstream leased assets
Franchises
Investments
Step 2
reduction targets icon

Reduction targets

Reduction targets are an essential part of a company's climate action strategy. By setting concrete targets, companies define the areas, scope, and timeframe for implementing reduction measures.*

Scope 1 and 2 emissions

Scope 1 emissions include all emissions that are either directly generated by the company or under direct control of the company, for example fuel for company cars. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions generated by purchased energy, such as electricity.

This company has committed to reducing its emissions by

40%

Time period

2021 to 2030

Science-based target

Yes, matching the 1.5 °C ambition level

Scope 3 emissions

Scope 3 emissions come from all company activities that are not directly under its control, for example, employee commuting and business travel, as well as activities that occur throughout the company's value chain.

Scope 3 emissions included in this reduction target:

Business travel
Downstream transportation and distribution
Employee commuting
Purchased goods and services
Upstream transportation and distribution

This company has committed to reducing its emissions by

42%

Time period

2022 to 2030

Science-based target

Yes, matching the 1.5 °C ambition level

Reduction Measures Icon

Reduction measures

To meet their reduction targets, it is important for companies to plan and implement concrete measures to achieve effective climate action. This section shows you the reduction measures that have been implemented.*

This company has committed to actively sourcing 100% green electricity by 2030.

97%

of the total electricity consumption is purchased green electricity

*This section contains third party content, which was provided by the certified company to ClimatePartner.
*A consumption greater than 100% indicates the energy is fed into the electricity grid and can be used by other households and companies.
Step 4
Impact contribution icon

Climate projects

This company financially contributes to certified climate projects for a specific amount of emissions. The projects are regularly audited by independent third parties, and they also contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Number of projects supported:

5

Climate projects were financed for the following amount of emissions:

42,273,000 Kg CO₂ *

* The amount of GHG emissions shown for the financial contribution to climate projects (step 4) may be different from the total carbon footprint (step 1). Differences may result from an allocation of GHG emissions between multiple certifications for the same company (e. g. certification of the company as well as certain products). Furthermore, we recommend companies to add a 10 percent safety margin to the carbon footprint to address uncertainties related to the underlying data. Also, companies may source products or services for which a financial contribution has already been made via a third party, which results in a lower financial contribution via ClimatePartner.
