Performance Scope 1+2. Declaration of performance in accordance with CDP Reporting (Questions C7.9, C7.9ab). Emissions performance calculations were market-based. Compared to the previous reporting year (calculated using ecoinvent database v38) the Scope 1+2 emissions of the HUBER+SUHNER Group decreased 17.5 % corresponding to 2013 t CO2eq.

The management of SF6 emissions in Switzerland and China by monitoring and adapting measures is ongoing. In addition, district heating (supplied by the municipal utilities with an annually changing share of energy sources) at the Pfäffikon site in Switzerland was again supplied with a lower CO2 emission factor. Additionally the changes of the cooling agents releases into air are included. |
