This also includes the fuel consumption of transport logistics between some of the European plants and the vehicle fleet in Germany, which is predominantly leased. We report on the CO 2 emissions caused by this in scope 1. Our production processes do not cause direct emissions of other greenhouse gases (e.g. process emissions). The emissions of cooling agents from cooling and refrigeration plants are negligible compared to CO 2 emissions – they are not reported. Due to the growth of our locations and the occupation of additional buildings, the stationary primary energy demand increased by 10.5 per cent between 2017 and 2020. In contrast, the consolidation of transport processes and the continuous tightening of consumption limits for our passenger car fleet led to a decline in the primary energy demand of mobile applications already in 2019. As a result, the primary energy demand of both categories remained almost constant between 2017 and 2020 (increase of 0.6 per cent). Scope 1 emissions  GRI 305-1 are shown in the second diagram on the right. They are essentially derived from primary energy consumption. Only a shift between the various energy sources such as fuel oil, natural gas, diesel and petrol can lead to slight deviations. The influencing factors are correspondingly identical with those of primary energy consumption. Final energy consumption and scope 2 emissions Festo obtains its final energy  GRI 302-1c almost exclusively in the form of electricity. Two locations are heated with district heat- ing in an environmentally friendly manner. The associated emis- sions are reported in scope 2. Final energy consumption does not show a uniform trend in the period from 2017 to 2020 and, at the end of the period, is barely above the comparison year 2017 (increase of 1.2 per cent). How- ever, compared to turnover, which fell by 10 per cent, there is a clear deterioration. This is due to the fact that, even with reduced production capacity utilisation in 2019 and 2020, the base load of energy consumption for lighting or ventilation and air-conditioning technology could not be reduced to the same extent. However, consumption-reducing factors are increasingly making themselves felt. These include the processes of our energy management, exem- plary compressed air management and the consistent elimination of compressed air leaks, as well as the successive replacement of old fluorescent tubes with LED lamps and shutdown plans for pro- duction plants during non-production periods. The consistent search for savings opportunities was continued in 2020 and new projects were developed; however, these will not be implemented until 2021. The development of scope 2 emissions is essentially different  GRI 305-2 . In addition to the economic influences and the above-mentioned measures, the purchase of electricity from renewable energies for all German locations will have an impact from the second quarter of 2020. This led – unlike final energy con- sumption – to a decrease in scope 2 emissions by more than a third (decrease of 36 per cent). In the coming years, we will succes- sively implement this measure at the foreign locations as well. In recent years, Festo has seen a slight decoupling of energy con- sumption and scope 1 and scope 2 emissions from economic growth. With the exception of scope 2 emissions, this development was interrupted by an unfavourable economy in the second half of 2019 and the subsequent pandemic. 5. Environment, energy and construction 5.
