Festo calculates its Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) across all three scopes of the GHG Protocol. Four categories – 3.10, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15 – were identified as irrelevant for the CO2 footprint of Festo. These categories were therefore not taken into account.
The results can be found in the table entitled Greenhouse gas emissions 2024 (in tCO2eq). The calculation shows a clear result: 99 per cent of emissions are caused in categories 3.1, 3.4 and 3.11. A detailed list can be found in our Sustainability Report.
The Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for 2023 are shown in the following two diagrams. The total energy demand and emissions for Scope 1 and 2 related to turnover can be seen in the figures below.
Our customers learn how to use a newly purchased product safely and professionally through a variety of user manuals and descriptions. Notes on possible misuse as well as information on maintenance, cleaning, care and disposal help the user to avoid expensive and climate-damaging costs. This also extends the service life of the products. Various tutorials clearly explain how users can, for example, replace spare parts kits on their own.
