Schaltbau Holding has committed to significant climate initiatives, particularly through the establishment of a new production facility that is fully electrified and aims to be carbon-neutral. This facility's electricity-based energy concept is projected to pay for itself within approximately three years compared to traditional fossil fuel heating methods. These initiatives are set to take effect from 2023 to 2025, targeting reductions in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor does it appear to have set specific Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. However, the ongoing efforts towards carbon neutrality in its new facility reflect a proactive approach to climate commitments. All emissions data is sourced directly from Schaltbau Holding AG, with no cascaded data from parent or related organizations.
