Schwabe Group’s CO2 emissions – 24% lower than baseline year
2025-12-15
The Schwabe Group’s total emissions in Scope 1 and 2 in 2024 were 37,266 t of CO₂ (market-based approach). In 2021, our baseline year, our global carbon emissions in Scope 1 and 2 were still 48,871 to. So the development is extremely positive: in comparison 2021, the Schwabe Group reduced the Scope 1 and 2 numbers in 2024 by approximately 24% and eliminated 11,605 tons of CO₂e!
By doing so, we have taken a large step closer to our mid-term goal of cutting our CO₂ emissions in half by 2030. To continue decreasing our carbon footprint, we have started various projects, among them: a geothermal project in the US and a large solar-panel system in India.
Top 5 stayed the same
The largest sources of CO₂ emissions in the Schwabe Group are still the sites where production and/or extraction takes place: the US, Germany, India, Ireland and Mexico, which together are responsible for 92% of carbon emissions in the Group in 2024.
