Transparent Environmental Management
Since 2011, Gerresheimer has actively participated in CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), one of the world’s largest initiatives for environmental impact disclosure and management. As part of this commitment, the company reports annually on its climate strategy and management approach. CO2 emissions are collected, analyzed, and managed in a structured process across all production sites. Gerresheimer provides detailed annual updates on implemented measures and progress achieved. In the current CDP rating cycle, the company received top marks in subcategories including emission reduction initiatives, low-carbon products, management of dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities, governance, as well as risk disclosure and data verification.
Ambitious CO2 Reduction Target
Under its corporate strategy formula g, Gerresheimer aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030.
