Giesecke Plus Devrient

Giesecke Plus Devrient, headquartered in Germany and operating in the Computer and related services industry, has set ambitious climate targets.

For 2025, Giesecke Plus Devrient reported total estimated emissions of approximately 538.5 million kg CO2e. This includes about 29.98 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, 3.45 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 market-based emissions, and approximately 505 million kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Key Scope 3 categories contributing to this total include purchased goods and services (about 400.6 million kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 81.8 million kg CO2e), and end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 58.5 million kg CO2e).

In 2024, Giesecke Plus Devrient reported approximately 30.17 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and 4.16 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 market-based emissions. Scope 3 data for 2024 was incomplete, with missing information for categories such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute.

For 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 747.7 million kg CO2e. This comprised about 30.06 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3.36 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 714.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 3. Significant Scope 3 contributors in 2023 were purchased goods and services (about 460.3 million kg CO2e), end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 63.5 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (about 54.4 million kg CO2e).

Giesecke Plus Devrient has set several significant climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2040. As an intermediate step, Giesecke Plus Devrient is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as the base year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution by 25% within the same timeframe, also from a 2022 base year.

Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments for Giesecke Plus Devrient (Giesecke+Devrient GmbH) include:

• Near-term targets: Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution 25% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. These near-term targets are classified as consistent with a 1.5°C trajectory.
• Long-term targets: Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products 90% by 2040 from a 2022 base year. This long-term target is classified as consistent with a 1.5°C trajectory.
• Net-Zero Target: Reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040.

Giesecke Plus Devrient previously set an intensity target in 2018 to reduce direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 25% in relation to sales by 2022, using 2016 as the base year. The company reported achieving this goal by 2020, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions falling by 32%.
