Climate control systems play a pivotal role in managing energy consumption for our customers. By optimizing these systems, we empower our customers to reduce their energy and water usage.
Our climate footprint originates from the use of electricity and fossil fuels in our production processes and from the use of our sold products. The goal is to continuously reduce our energy use and make our factories and processes more efficient but also to develop even more resource-efficient products, efficient transports and to make choices of materials and suppliers that reduces negative impact.
To accelerate our work in this area, we have committed to setting near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). By committing to this important initiative, we will have our previously set targets for Scope 1 and 2 validated and set new targets for Scope 3.
The strategic targets for 2030 are:
We report our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in accordance with Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
Scope 1 and 2 include emissions from factory operations, offices and other non-production locations, and company vehicles. In 2022, we established guidelines and targets to increase energy efficiency and source renewable electricity for our production facilities. We also mapped energy sources in our offices and other properties not involved in production. This allows us to constantly monitor our operation’s Scope 1 and 2, which are direct emissions and indirect emissions from energy purchased.
We significantly increased the share of renewable electricity during 2023, contributing to emissions reductions. We are also identifying potential renewable electricity sources for offices and other properties not involved in production.
We are mapping relevant greenhouse gas emissions from our suppliers, transportation providers, and products used by customers, known as Scope 3 emissions or indirect emissions. We see that category 11, Use of Sold Products, accounts for most emissions.
Besides focusing on minimizing emissions from our operations, we are committed to reducing the climate footprint of our products through constant innovation, transportation efficiency, and responsible choices of materials and suppliers.
Learn how we are working to reduce emissions in the entire value chain:
Services, which include maintenance, upgrades, and product replacements, are important to customers not least from a sustainability perspective. Services extend the life of the products and increase the efficiency of our installed products. The goal is to grow our service business to 30% of net sales in the long term.
We continue to focus on further investing in our core technologies, solutions, and digitization to optimize our product portfolio. We have launched several new products, such as SyCool and DSS Pro. When we innovate, we look at various sustainability factors early in the process. For example, we take into consideration the choice of materials, recycling possibilities, and energy consumption. When we have evaluated all these aspects, we define the value proposition, technical opportunities, and profitability potential.
