Ontex, headquartered in BE and operating in the Medical, Precision and Optical Instruments, Watches and Clocks (33) sector, has reported its carbon emissions with a strong focus on reduction targets.

For the year 2025, Ontex recorded total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1.66 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of approximately 10.62 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 11 thousand kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were the largest contributor, amounting to approximately 1.65 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 1.82 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 11.86 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 5.45 million kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.81 billion kg CO2e.

Ontex has established ambitious climate commitments. Notably, the company aims for carbon-neutral operations by 2030, covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, Ontex has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030, using 2020 as a base year. Additionally, the company aims to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity from 75% in 2020 to 100% by 2030. For Scope 3 emissions, Ontex is targeting a reduction of 25% by 2030, also from a 2020 baseline, specifically for purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and the end-of-life treatment of sold products. More recent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments from 2026 indicate a reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 71.0% by 2030 from a 2020 base year, and a reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 51.6% per EUR value added within the same timeframe.
