For 2024, SEW-EURODRIVE has reported no emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2, indicating a potential shift in their operational practices or reporting methods. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, suggesting that while emissions data is available, formal commitments to reduce carbon footprints have not been established. The company does not inherit emissions data from any parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG. As the industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, SEW-EURODRIVE's emissions data reflects the ongoing challenges and opportunities in managing carbon footprints effectively.
