Pfeiffer Vacuum

Pfeiffer Vacuum, headquartered in Germany and operating in the Machinery and equipment sector, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1.22 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 3.23 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 7.28 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 1.21 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of their Scope 3 emissions in 2025 came from the use of sold products, accounting for about 1.11 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2024, their total emissions were about 1.20 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 2.95 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2: 6.99 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 1.19 billion kg CO2e). In 2023, total emissions were approximately 1.42 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 3.28 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2: 8.36 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 1.41 billion kg CO2e).

Pfeiffer Vacuum has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2034 from a 2022 base year. They also commit to increasing active annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 52% in 2022 to 100% by 2030 and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 35% by 2034 from a 2022 base year. For the long-term, by 2050, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 96%, Scope 2 GHG emissions by 93%, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% from a 2022 base year.
