Our contribution to climate protection
Climate protection is firmly embedded in our sustainability strategy at Elsdorf. We adhere to a clear principle: the prevention and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions take priority. By using green electricity, investing in modern facilities and optimising our production processes, we ensure that we manage raw materials and emissions responsibly.
Climate contribution
Funding for certified climate protection projects
As emissions cannot be completely avoided despite all our efforts, we work with our service provider, ClimatePartner, to record the annual CO₂ emissions from our site (known as the ‘corporate carbon footprint’). This takes into account not only gas, electricity and water consumption, but also business travel, staff travel, all goods and services purchased, transport and investments (Scopes 1–3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol). This provides us with a transparent overview of our emissions trends and enables us to compare them with previous years.
In addition, we support certified climate protection projects worldwide that reduce or sequester greenhouse gases. The number of certificates purchased corresponds to the level of direct emissions calculated for our site from electricity and gas consumption, as well as the use of all company vehicles (Scopes 1 and 2).
