GEHR PRODUCTION CO2 NEUTRAL

We are making a further contribution to reducing CO2 (carbon dioxide) and, by switching to eco-gas at our Mannheim plant, we managed to implement CO2 neutral production in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 1 and Scope 2 guidelines in Germany as well as in the USA.

Environmental protection and sustainability are of great importance to us. Following the conversion to green electricity implemented back in 2016 in Mannheim and in 2020 in our plant in Philadelphia/USA, we now took another step towards CO2 neutral production: the entire heating system in our Mannheim plant was switched to eco-gas. As a result, we have already implemented the Katowice climate packages Scope 1 and Scope 2 and can produce in a climate-neutral manner.

In the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, and the Katowice climate package of 2018, the 195 signatory states committed to becoming climate neutral by 2050.
Building on this, the GHG Protocol (GreenHouse Gas Protocol) has become an international standard for accounting emissions and capturing the greenhouse gases regulated under the Kyoto Protocol.
We plan to implement GHG Scope 3 in the next 10 years, hoping to meet these targets before 2050.
