Active climate protection: Jenoptik will reduce CO2 emissions by 30 percent by 2025
The targeted CO2 reduction is based on concrete measures, the implementation of which is already in full swing. They include the further expansion of the group-wide share of green electricity as well as various energy efficiency measures at Jenoptik locations worldwide.
"Reducing CO2 emissions and conserving resources has been important for Jenoptik for years, even though the photonics industry is not one of the energy-intensive sectors. As an enabler, we contribute with our photonic applications to more resource conservation and climate protection, in industry as well as in the mobility, health, digitization and communication areas of life,” says Dr. Stefan Traeger, President & CEO of JENOPTIK AG.
When defining the CO2 reduction target, Jenoptik closely follows the requirements of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which limits the increase in the global average temperature to well below 1.5 degrees Celsius in accordance with the requirements of the international Paris Agreement on Climate Protection.
Further information on sustainability is also available on the Jenoptik website and in our film “Enabling the Amazing” on our homepage.
