OUR PATHWAY TO NET ZERO

GEA will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions along the entire value chain to net zero (Net Zero 2040). This includes not only reducing our own emissions, but also developing sustainable solutions for our customers and creating climate-neutral supply chains. To achieve our climate targets, we have defined a Climate Transition Plan 2040.

Climate Transition Plan 2040

The Climate Transition Plan 2040 is based on the climate strategy published in 2021 and transparently sets out the measures planned to reduce greenhouse gas emissions along the entire value chain to Net Zero by 2040. It defines five key areas of action in which measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will be implemented. These include:

- the transformation of our product portfolio
- the transformation of our own operations
- the adjustment of the value and supply chain
- the commitment to social engagement
- the fundamental alignment of our corporate culture
