Reducing emissions

Syntegon recognizes its responsibility in combating climate change and seeks to achieve ambitious emission reductions. The Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) has validated our targets and confirmed their effectiveness in achieving the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Syntegon is aiming to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 percent over the period from 2019 to 2030. In addition to direct and indirect energy-related GHG emissions, we are also targeting indirect GHG emissions (Scope 3). We aim to reduce these by 25 percent by 2030 compared to 2022. Syntegon strives to become CO2 neutral by 2024.

Occupational safety and health

A safe and healthy working environment for every employee is crucial for Syntegon. We assess hazards for people and the environment and consistently take appropriate protective measures. We make every effort to minimize the risk of occupational accidents.

At various sites, the Syntegon’s medical service offers, for example, skin and colon cancer screening, vaccinations, and general health checks.
