Danfoss is now embarking on an ambitious journey to become CO2 neutral in all of the company’s global operations at the latest by 2030. Danfoss has for decades been a global provider of technology and solutions helping to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions all over the world.
The Danfoss Group has within recent years lowered its global energy intensity considerably. Danfoss commits to change its company car fleet to become all electric latest by 2030. These initiatives are all steps towards being CO2 neutral in all of the company’s global operations at the latest by 2030. To further emphasise Danfoss’ commitment to combat global heating Danfoss is joining the UN Global Compact’s campaign on ‘Business Ambition for 1.5C – Our Only Future’ and commits to setting science-based targets. “Focusing on energy efficiency, sector coupling and electrification are the key steps to a sustainable future. This is the very core of our business and the solutions we provide to our customers. Decarbonising our business, for example by using surplus energy from our process heat in production and datacenters, are natural steps. Driving electrification and integrate renewable energy is how we take climate action and reach our targets. We are well under way and we will continue to move forward to showcase that green growth is indeed possible,” says Kim Fausing, President & CEO of the Danfoss Group.
Danfoss is now working on detailed plans on how to reach the targets including how to balance potential CO2 impact, commercial terms and long-term factory footprint considerations. The overall approach is ‘energy efficiency first’ that also supports a high share of renewables. Less green energy needed means that less investments are needed for grid extension, energy storage, back-up capacities and energy imports. Finally, electrification, powered by renewables, is an enabling tool that will allow Danfoss to decarbonise the business.
