Looking at earlier data, in 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 1.42 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 3.28 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 8.36 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 1.41 billion kg CO2e. Pfeiffer Vacuum has set ambitious climate targets. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. As part of its near-term goals, Pfeiffer Vacuum aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions to net zero by 2030. Furthermore, they have committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 96% and absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 93% by 2050, based on a 2022 baseline year. A mid-term target includes reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2034, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 35% by 2034, also from a 2022 base year. Additionally, they plan to increase the sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030. These commitments are aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
