Franke

Franke, a company in the basic iron and steel industry headquartered in CH, has established significant climate commitments. For the reporting year 2025, Franke reported total emissions of approximately 15.14 billion kg CO2e, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions, which amounted to approximately 15.14 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for 2025 were approximately 8.71 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 14.37 million kg CO2e.

In the preceding year, 2024, Franke's Scope 3 emissions were approximately 18.97 billion kg CO2e, with no Scope 1 or 2 data provided for that year. For reporting year 2023 (company reporting year 2024), total emissions were approximately 30.66 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 9.33 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 17.81 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 20.33 billion kg CO2e.

Franke has set ambitious reduction targets. The company aims for net-zero CO2e emissions across its production and entire value chain by 2050. Specifically, Franke commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2020 base year. Additionally, there is a near-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 56.0% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. For Scope 3 emissions, Franke commits to a 32.5% reduction in absolute emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution by 2033, also from a 2020 base year.

Some of Franke's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Franke Holding AG. The company has also taken steps towards carbon neutrality at its Aarburg site, achieving CO2 neutrality through the use of hydropower, a wood chip plant, and a photovoltaic plant.
