We have our sights set on the future and are optimizing ourCO2 footprint

Here's how: 1. reduce energy consumption, but maintain or increase productivity. 2. use energy sources with a smaller CO2 footprint. Scopes are the key. Scopes help us to identify and classify different sources of emissions.

The categories Scope 1, 2 and 3 stand for this

Scope 1 =CO2 emissions directly on site (vehicle fleet, boilers) Scope 2 = external energy supply (electricity, district heating) Scope 3 = the entire supply chain

In just two years, we reduced our footprint in Scope 1 and 2 by 66%

We believe that we are leading the way with a "factory footprint" of just 224 tons ofCO2 equivalents- thanks to courageous decisions and a team that is passionate about the topic and takes responsibility.

In 2022, our photovoltaic system produced enough electricity for us

We fed surpluses into the grid. Goodbye, fossil fuels. In 2020, we gave gas and coal the boot and switched to district heating powered by wood waste and 100% green electricity. In 2023, we doubled the capacity of our photovoltaic system.

But we are not resting on our laurels

By expanding the photovoltaic system, we are using it to charge the e-cars in our vehicle fleet, among other things. The bosses are setting a good example - you can already see their e-cars at the company's own charging points. In three years' time, all company vehicles will be electric.

 

Since March 2023, all 1-liter plastic bottles from Buzil have a 30 percent recycled content. This is a step towards improving the recyclability of our products. Since August 2023, our 600 ml bottles have been equipped with the same proportion of recyclate.
