CO2 reduction: Reducing the company's CO2 footprint

Strategies, tools and tips on how you can effectively analyze and sustainably reduce your carbon footprint - practical and easy to understand.

CO₂ reduction: political goals and legal requirements

Politicians in Germany and the EU want to reduce CO2 emissions in order to slow down climate change. Emissions are to be significantly reduced by 2030 and complete climate neutrality is to be achieved by 2050. In order to achieve these goals, important laws such as the Federal Climate Protection Act and the EU's "Fit for 55" package have been passed. We will be happy to guide you through the legal jungle and advise you on how you can take advantage of the resulting opportunities for your company.

Reduce CO₂ emissions: Companies need to know their own CO₂ footprint.

Targeted reduction is only possible if companies know their CO₂ sources. A carbon footprint shows where emissions are generated - from energy consumption to the supply chain. The prerequisites for effective CO₂ reduction are

  • Identify relevant sources of emissions in the company
  • Create a CO₂ balance sheet according to recognized standards (e.g. GHG Protocol)
  • Classify emissions in Scopes 1, 2 and, if applicable, 3
  • Define and document data sources and measurement methods
  • Analyze key fields of action and CO₂ drivers

If you have not yet carried out an assessment of your company, start now. Of course, we can also help you with this.

FAQs: Frequently asked questions

  • Yes, many companies are obliged to reduce their CO₂ emissions in order to comply with legal requirements. In the EU in particular, there are clear regulations such as the "Fit for 55" package. It encourages numerous companies, particularly in the industrial, energy and transportation sectors, to reduce their carbon footprint.

    By reducing their emissions in a targeted manner, these companies not only meet their legal requirements, but also strengthen their image as environmentally conscious organizations. In addition, actively reducing CO₂ offers the opportunity to reduce costs in the long term and gain a competitive advantage. It is not only an obligation, but also an opportunity for companies to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly through sensible measures.

  • Companies can take a variety of measures to reduce their CO₂ emissions. A first step is often to carry out a comprehensive CO₂ balance sheet to identify the main sources of emissions. Significant savings can be achieved by reducing CO₂ in the area of energy supply, for example by switching to renewable energies. Companies can also contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions through more efficient processes and technologies. Another area is sustainable procurement strategies and optimizing the supply chain.

    Finally, raising awareness and training employees also helps to reduce CO₂ emissions. All of these steps not only lead to a reduction in emissions, but also strengthen the company's sustainable image.
