To achieve our climate target, we have to know where we are, where we are good and where not, how we are developing, which potentials we have, and what the next steps should be.

We use ecocockpit, an analysis software from EFA (Effizienz Agentur NRW) to generate our CO2 footprint analysis for the site so we can determine our status quo and define, trigger, and implement projects for emissions reduction.

The site analysis includes scope 1, 2 und 3 in the cradle-to-gate assessment. All Scope 3 subscopes relevant to our company were accounted for within the defined system limits for the first time in 2023.

This is an important step on the path to climate neutrality which we want to achieve in 2045 at the latest.

As of 1/1/2022, Kabelschlepp changed its electricity supply from gray electricity to 100 % green electricity, reducing a large emissions factor from over 1,000,000 kg CO2℮ to 0 kg CO2℮.

Since October 2022, Kabelschlepp has been using a heat exchanger to make use of the waste heat from the injection molding machines and compressors. This means that all offices at the headquarters in Wenden-Gerlingen can be heated without the need for external resources.  We cover any additional demand with air-conditioning gas. We were able to reduce overall gas consumption by around 70 % during this period.
