In 2022, Festool reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,700,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 1,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 3,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a slight increase from 2021, when total emissions were about 4,522,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1,262,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 3,260,000 kg CO2e. Despite the increase in emissions, Festool has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions in line with industry standards. As a leading manufacturer in the tools sector, Festool's commitment to addressing climate change will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals and enhancing its environmental responsibility.
