SICK's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, SICK reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,480,000 kg CO2e, comprising 6,864,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 157,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 10,459,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 14,443,000 kg CO2e. SICK has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes by 2030. Specifically, the company plans to achieve net-zero emissions for Scopes 1 and 2 by 2025. This commitment follows their signing of a climate protection agreement with the state of Baden-Württemberg in 2020, which obligates them to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions at all German and global production sites to zero by 2030. In terms of reductions, SICK has targeted a complete elimination of Scope 1 and 2 emissions from their global production sites (excluding Germany) by 2025. This initiative reflects their proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing their carbon footprint in line with industry standards.
