Scope 1 emissions were approximately 179,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 389,000,000 kg CO2e. This marks a reduction from 2023, when Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were approximately 605,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 181,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 424,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the total reported emissions were approximately 649,000,000 kg CO2e. Earlier data from 2021 and 2020 shows total emissions of approximately 828,000,000 kg CO2e and 770,000,000 kg CO2e respectively.

Freudenberg's strategy to achieve its net-zero target by 2045 focuses on energy conservation, electrification, and the purchase and self-generation of green power. A significant milestone set for 2025 is to reduce relative CO2 emissions per million euros of sales by 25 percent compared to 2020 levels.
