Our climate targets
We want to help combat climate change with actions that have a positive impact on our planet. We see this as a shared responsibility, and therefore generously endorse the targets set out in the Paris Agreement on climate change. At the same time, we constantly position ourselves as a pioneer in our industry by raising the bar even more. We aim to reduce the direct CO2e emissions of our own business activities (scopes 1 and 2) to zero by 2030. For the entire value chain we belong to (scope 3), we are going for a reduction of at least 50% between 2019 and 2030. By 2040, we want to have reached net zero with an entire value chain that is free of greenhouse gas emissions.
Our actions
We are reducing the CO₂e emissions of our direct business activities by taking sustainability actions for our fleet and machinery, in our offices and on our construction sites. The transition to fully electric vehicles and equipment is progressing well, although in practice we sometimes face network capacity constraints. We have drawn up a sustainability roadmap for our entire value chain. This includes the steps we take to accelerate the development of energy-efficient end products and sustainable building materials together with our suppliers and other partners.
Our results
We closely track the progress we are making towards achieving our climate targets. The key question here is always whether and to what extent our actions and performance are on track. We measure our progress against the reference year 2019 and the target years 2030 and 2040.
