Ontex

Ontex, headquartered in Belgium and operating in the Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks industry, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1.66 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 10.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 68.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 1.65 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 1.82 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 11.86 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 71.08 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and 1.81 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. Looking back to 2023, Ontex's total emissions were approximately 2.42 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 12.38 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at approximately 74.31 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 2.40 billion kg CO2e.

Ontex is committed to significant climate action, with several near-term targets. The company aims for carbon-neutral operations by 2030 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, Ontex has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved goals: to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 71.0% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. For Scope 3 emissions, Ontex commits to reducing emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 51.6% per EUR value added within the same timeframe (2020-2030). These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Ontex also aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 75% in 2020 to 100% by 2030.
