Recently, ebm-papst Australia & New Zealand (A&NZ) has achieved operational carbon neutrality for its Australian business operations, covering appropriate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for the calendar year 2023. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Partnering with Pangolin Associates, an independent third-party emissions consultant, ebm-papst A&NZ conducted a comprehensive carbon emissions assessment for all the three scopes. By measuring and publishing the carbon footprint of all its operations, ebm-papst A&NZ underscores its dedication to transparency and accountability.
Commenting on the development, Dr. Simon Bradwell, Managing Director of ebm-papst A&NZ, said, “Achieving carbon-neutral status reflects our commitment to a sustainable future. Understanding our carbon footprint allows us to make informed, incremental changes to continually improve our environmental impact.”
ebm-papst A&NZ achieved carbon neutrality across the scopes: Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity), and partially Scope 3 (other indirect emissions that occur in the upstream value chain by considering upstream transportation and manufacturing processes). Scientific measures to prevent and reduce emissions include transitioning to energy-efficient technologies, procuring 100% renewable energy, optimizing supply chain logistics, and engaging suppliers in sustainability practices.
