We document and report on initiatives, measures, and key figures each year. Primary energy consumption and Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions In 2024, primary energy demand amounted to 77,206 megawatt hours. This represented an increase of 10 percent compared to the previous year, due to several effects. When the contact restrictions introduced during the pandemic were lifted, and the energy measures taken during the energy crisis were relaxed, buildings in Germany and other European locations were once again subject to intensive use. This resulted in an increased requirement for heat. We also resumed in-house generation of electricity from gas. We present the energy consumption documented under primary energy consumption in chapter 3.2 of the Sustainability Report 2023. The Scope 1 emissions in the production and logistics network amounted to 13,048 metric tons of CO2e emissions in 2024. These emissions are taken account of by the measures for CO2e offset. Details of our offsetting measures are presented in the chapter Corporate Carbon Footprint. Energy consumption and derived Scope 2 emissions The final energy demand in 2024 amounted to 130,123 megawatt hours, which was 3 percent higher than in the previous year. The greater usage of buildings was also perceptible here. Festo obtains its final energy almost exclusively in the form of green electricity. Two locations are heated by district heating. This causes 322 metric tons of CO2e emissions. These emissions are also subject to CO2e offset and are therefore also set to zero. Further information on this is provided in the chapter Corporate Carbon Footprint. Total energy consumption and sales-related GHG emissions The total energy demand in relation to sales (primary and final energy) went up by almost 12 percent year-on-year to 60.1 megawatt hours per million euros. Scope 1 and 2 sales-related GHG emissions increased year-on-year by 4 percent to 3.8 metric tons of CO2e per million euros of sales. As a result, emissions have increased to a lesser extent than total energy demand. This is due to the purchase of green electricity and the expansion of inhouse power generation with photovoltaics.
