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 the scope 1+2 emissions of the HUBER+SUHNER Group decreased 21 % corresponding to 1,607 t CO2eq.
Reason | Change in emissions [t CO2-eq] | Direction of change | Emissions value [%] | Comments | ||||
Change in renewable energy consumption | 2 107 | Decreased | 27.2 | Purchase of renewable energy: CH: 21.67 GWh (hydro power, 2023: 15.97 GWh) CH: 0.51 GWh (biogas, 2023: 0.49 GWh) CN: 3.46 GWh (solar power, 2023: 3.5 GWh) IN: 0.0 GWh (wind power, 2023: 0.6 GWh) PL: 4.18 GWh (wind power, 2023: 1.83 GWh) DE: 0.7 GWh (hydro power, 2023: 0.6 GWh) US/MY/UK/TN: 2.52 GWh (sun, hydro and wind power, 2023: 0.57 GWh) Self-generated electricity: CN: 1.34 GWh (solar power, 2023: 1.44 GWh) CH: 0.62 GWh (solar power, 2023: 0.53 GWh) UK/DE/PL: 0.13 GWh (solar power 2023: 0.05 GWh). | ||||
Other emissions reduction activities | 175 | Decreased | 2.3 | Various energy efficiency initiatives have been undertaken and are ongoing at all HUBER+SUHNER sites, including the optimization of control and steering mechanisms, the implementation of closed-loop cooling systems, and the utilization of heat recovery. | ||||
Divestment | 0 | No change | 0 | No divestments. | ||||
Acquisitions | 0 | No change | 0 | No acquisitions. | ||||
Mergers | 0 | No change | 0 | No mergers. | ||||
Change in output | 964 | Increased | 12.5 | Site-specific calculations were conducted using net sales data, with the significant increase in net sales in India being the primary contributing factor. Only production-related emissions, particularly those from electricity, were considered. | ||||
Change in methodology | 108 | Increased | 1.4 | Change from ecoinvent database version v3.10 to version v3.11 | ||||
Change in boundary | 0 | No change | 0 | No change in boundary. | ||||
Change in physical operating conditions | 82 | Decreased | 1.1 | The number of heating degree days has decreased in Switzerland and at most international sites. | ||||
Unidentified | 0 | No change | 0 | No unidentified changes. | ||||
Other | 315 | Decreased | 4.1 | Following a request from the Swiss government to transition from natural gas to heating oil where feasible, this initiative was subsequently revoked. The management of SF6 emissions in Switzerland and China is ongoing, with continuous monitoring and adaptive measures in place. Additionally, district heating at the Pfäffikon site in Switzerland, supplied by municipal utilities with an annually varying share of energy sources, was assigned a higher CO2 emission factor. Changes in refrigerant emissions into the air are also accounted for. |
