Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 80% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year.
• Reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 40% per million Euros of sales by 2030, also based on the 2019 baseline.
• Achieving net-zero emissions across all three scopes by 2040.
• Transitioning to 100% renewable electricity in all its plants by 2025, a target that was brought forward from 2030.

ZF has demonstrated progress in reducing its emissions, with a reported 60% reduction since 2014, as of 2025. The company is actively engaged in implementing its climate protection strategy through its ZF Climate Ambition Initiative, considering Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements in all its processes.
