ALTANA Announces Plans to Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2025
In order to further reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, ALTANA is relying on greater energy efficiency, as well as heat and electricity generation, at its worldwide sites.
ALTANA recently announced that it will reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) impact from production and energy procurement worldwide to zero by 2025. In 2020, the company’s entire power supply will be converted to renewable energies. ALTANA reports that it will compensate for the unavoidable use of natural gas until 2025 by financing equivalent climate protection projects in the regions where CO2 emissions are generated. The same applies to offsetting CO2 emissions arising from necessary business trips, company cars, and the transport of goods.
“We want to leave our footprint on innovations, not on emissions,” said Martin Babilas, CEO of ALTANA AG. “With our CO2 neutrality program up to 2025, we are fulfilling our responsibility for climate protection and consistently pursuing our sustainability course.”
