As the filling and packaging system manufacturer Krones AG explained in a press release on Wednesday, the company from Neutraubling (Regensburg district) achieved 48th place in the ranking of the top 100 climate-conscious companies in Germany in an independent survey by Statista and the business magazine Capital. During the survey, the relationship between sales growth and the reduction of CO2 emissions in German companies was considered. The company classifies the 48th place achieved in the announcement as “further success in the Group’s sustainability strategy”. In 2020, Krones was awarded a gold medal by the EcoVadis platform for its sustainability activities.
“On the right way”
“Sustainability, the reduction of emissions and the careful use of natural resources have moved into the focus of society in recent years. For us, however, these topics are not limited to our own production – rather, sustainability is a task that runs along the entire value chain: Starting with our suppliers, through our own production, to our customers, ”explains Welf Kramer, Head of Corporate Governance . “We are delighted about the award as one of the most sustainable companies in Germany and shows that we are on the right track.”
The climate protection targets show that Krones takes its responsibility seriously. which the company imposed on itself. Since 2010, energy-related CO2 emissions have been reduced by 30 to 40 percent per million euros in sales. Now the company has once again significantly increased its demands on its own sustainability performance.
Greenhouse gas emissions should decrease
By 2030, all greenhouse gas emissions that are caused at the company’s own locations (Scope 1 and 2), for example through the operation of production facilities and vehicles, are to be reduced by 80 percent. The emissions that arise in the upstream and downstream value chain (Scope 3) are to be reduced by 25 percent. In addition, the scope of the measures has also been expanded: if until now only the emissions of the German Krones AG were considered, in future all manufacturing locations worldwide will be included.
And Krones also takes customer production into account. With solutions that make the sustainable use of resources as easy and at the same time as profitable as possible, Krones supports its customers in achieving their respective goals for protecting the environment and the climate, the press release concludes.
