2019 Footprint

Zühlke delivered their first emission calculation for their Germany facilities.

2019

Emission Reduction

The company began switching to renewable energy suppliers for select offices in 2020 in a drive to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

2020

2021 Footprint

As the first group-wide calculation, Zühlke has used 2021 emission data as the baseline year for Net-Zero target validation. These calculations show 5,806 GHG emissions (tCO2e) across scopes 1, 2 and 3.

2021

2022 Footprint

The company has reported a total of 7,724 GHG emissions (tCO2e) in 2022. For this report, Zühlke has increased the coverage of their scope 3 emissions calculations.

2022

Near Term Targets

Zühlke has committed to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2030 and to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% within the same timeframe.

2023

Long Term Targets

Zühlke has committed to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2021 base year.

2024

2023 Footprint

The company has reported a total of 7,582 GHG emissions (tCO2e) in 2023. This is an 11% reduction from 2022 figures and shows continued progress towards Zuhlke validated Net Zero target.

2024

2024 Mitigation

Zühlke continued their program to mitigate emissions, and have funded an Oxford Principles aligned portfolio supporting climate projects around the world

2024

2024 Footprint

Zuhlke reported a largely unchanged 7,904 GHG emissions (tCO2e) in 2024. This is in expectation to a general re-baseline of emissions to better align with long term decarbonisation goals.

Portfolio Deep Dive

The Problem

Home emissions, primarily coming from heating and electricity use, account for almost a quarter of the UK’s total carbon emissions. The government’s advisory body has stated that the UK will not meet its emissions targets “without near complete decarbonisation of the housing stock”, but inefficiencies in older houses represent a significant barrier.

The Solution

The project addresses climate change and fuel poverty by funding the affordable retrofitting of UK housing stock. This includes: - Adding insulation to homes to prevent heat loss. - Improving the efficiency of, or replacing, central heating components. To ensure additionality, the project targets social housing and households which could not afford retrofit investments. The monitoring period is set to 7 years, to ensure that the credits account for possible changes in government budgeting.

The Problem

Over 21 million people in Uganda are without access to clean water. Communities often rely on unsafe wells, lakes and other open water sources that are highly susceptible to contamination. Community groups own many existing boreholes across Uganda that have fallen into disrepair because maintenance programmes have been poorly managed or have proven too expensive.

The Solution

The Lango Safe Water project aims to resolve this issue by restoring existing boreholes and providing training for their continued maintenance. In addition to improved access to clean water, this will serve to reduce the emissions associated with boiling water to sanitise it. The initiative also addresses gender inequality and has become the first ever Gold Standard Gender Responsive certification project.

The Problem

Over 60% of Europe’s forests are at risk of the effects of climate change and especially monoculture forests, which face increased repercussions from storms, droughts and pests. In Germany alone, there are more than 3 million hectares of monocultures that need to be turned into biodiverse mixed forests to increase their climate resilience and increase biodiversity and carbon capture.

The Solution

With the Lake Kessel climate protection project, Pina Earth is converting 93 hectares of pine monoculture forest in Brandenburg into a near-natural, biodiverse mixed forest over 30 years. The introduction of new species, the promotion of natural rejuvenation and the adapted game management make the forest more resistant to the consequences of climate change such as storms, drought and beetle infestation.
