Climate neutrality* since 2022
After successfully converting its plant in Schiltach, Germany, to green electricity, Hansgrohe did the same with all of its international production sites at the beginning of 2022. This reduces CO2 emissions by more than 26,000 tons annually. Subsequent energy efficiency analyses at Hansgrohe’s production plants in France, China and Germany have identified further potential sustainability measures such as: • combined heat and power plants and photovoltaics, • peak load and solar irradiation planning
In its facility in Shanghai, AXOR has already begun to utilize heat pump technology on the heating system for the electroplating baths.
*Climate neutrality refers to greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1 and 2 (direct emissions and energy consumed at the sites) according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Wherever possible, the Hansgrohe Group actively reduces these emissions. The remaining emissions are offset through recognized, certified climate protection projects. For more information, please visit https://www.hansgrohe-group.com/en/about-us/sustainability. All international production plants have also set their own aspirational sustainability targets for water, waste and energy. As a result of these efforts, all Hansgrohe Group plants worldwide have been climate neutral* since 2022.
UN Sustainability goals Water is life, and water is our passion. We create inspiring moments while protecting this precious element. In doing so, we take responsibility for people and the environment. The Hansgrohe Group is committed to supporting five UN Sustainable Development Goals:
1.Good Health and Well-being 2. Clean water and sanitization 3. Decent work and economic growth 4. Responsible consumption and production 5. Climate action
