Roadmap

Climate Neutral by 2040

Our mission is to make our products entirely sustainable – from production and distribution to their use at customers’ facilities. The first steps have been taken and further milestones have been identified. Join us on the road to a sustainable future.

Our Levers

Electricity, hydrogen, and steam are the main sources of emissions from our production processes. We are successively implementing measures to make our production climate neutral. The levels below are what we have attained so far.

Hydrogen

Steam

Electricity

Sustainability Initiative Launched

Challenge accepted!

We firmly believe that sustainability is at the heart of all we do. That is why, in 2019, we launched a project that outlines a structured path to climate neutrality by 2040.

Detailed Life Cycle Analyses

In 2021, we identified and quantified the emissions sources for all of our main product groups worldwide. We now know where emissions come from, and what actions to take to reduce them.

Renewable Electricity

By 2023, over 90 percent of the electricity needed for all processes at our sites worldwide was generated from renewable sources. This reduced average specific emissions by over 20% compared to 2019.

Start Using Green Hydrogen

We start replacing some of the gray hydrogen used in our production with green hydrogen made through water electrolysis.

First Plant Using Only Green Hydrogen

The first hydrogen peroxide production plant is operated using exclusively green hydrogen. Other plants are set to follow gradually, and the proportion of green hydrogen used will be continuously increased.

First Climate-Neutral Plant

Our first hydrogen peroxide production plant that runs entirely on emissions-free steam, hydrogen, and electricity.

All Production is Climate Neutral

All production plants worldwide now operate entirely on emissions-free sources of electricity, hydrogen, and steam.
