Scope 2 emissions, using the market-based approach, were approximately 1.5 million kg CO2e, while the location-based approach indicated approximately 22.4 million kg CO2e. Looking at the previous year, 2023, Varta AG's total emissions stood at approximately 321.5 million kg CO2e. This included approximately 3.7 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 315.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. Scope 2 emissions were around 1.4 million kg CO2e (market-based) and 22.6 million kg CO2e (location-based). Varta AG has established science-based targets aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. They commit to an absolute reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2020 as the base year. Furthermore, Varta AG aims to reduce its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions related to purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, waste generated in operations, employee commuting, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 51.6% per million EUR value added by 2030, with 2021 as the base year. Progress towards these near-term targets is being monitored.
