CO₂ balance sheet explained simply: What are Scope 1, 2 and 3?
In CO² reporting, a distinction is made between three categories of emissions, known as "Scopes"
Scope 1
Direct emissions that we cause ourselves
z.e.g. through the operation of our production facilities or building air conditioning.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions from purchased energy
z.e.g. electricity, district heating
Scope 3
All other indirect emissions
Scope 3 emissions often make up the largest share of a company's total carbon footprint - and are also the most difficult to record.
Emission-free production
We operate our factory 100% without fossil fuels; 70% of the energy we need is provided by our own photovoltaic system
Energy management
We constantly measure, control and optimise our energy consumption. Because the cleanest energy is the,
which is not consumed.
Sustainable out of conviction
The protection of the environment and the careful use of all our resources is sincerely close to our hearts and stems from the values of our management.
