In 2022, we began calculating our CO2e emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2, as well as a proportional share of Scope 3) to better evaluate the effectiveness of the measures we have already implemented and to strategically plan future actions.

To provide greater transparency and give businesses and stakeholders valuable insights into our progress, we will publish our emissions data annually moving forward. Minimizing our impact on the climate and environment is an ongoing process and a matter close to our hearts.

100% Renewable Electricity

Since 2024, we have been consistently using 100% renewable electricity, significantly reducing our CO2e emissions.

For comparison: the average person in Germany generates approximately 11–12 tonnes of CO2e per year through housing, consumption, and mobility.
