LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Greater efficiency for climate protection and cost-effectiveness.
Climate change is presenting new challenges for companies around the world. At the same time, requirements for energy efficiency and responsible emissions management are increasing. We are working to continuously reduce the energy consumption of our products, processes, and facilities.
“In my view, sustainability is only effective when it is concretely incorporated into products and processes—in other words, not just talking about it, but implementing real change.”
Marcin Moscicki, Green Pioneer EducationBecause the operational phase is the deciding factor, we develop product generations with demonstrably lower energy consumption—and modernize existing systems instead of replacing them. On average, laboratories consume ten times more energy than office spaces; a single laboratory fume hood uses about as much energy annually as a single-family home.
Net-Zero by 2045—this means we are a company that, on balance, no longer has a negative impact on the climate. To achieve this, we avoid as many greenhouse gases as possible and offset the remaining emissions elsewhere.
As part of our sustainability strategy, we aim to achieve net-zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2045. To this end, we systematically track our emissions and develop concrete measures to reduce greenhouse gases. Our CO₂ footprint serves as the basis for measuring and managing our progress.
Key areas of focus include:
