Decarbonisation

At Etex, we are committed to climate change mitigation through short-term energy efficiency projects and long-term carbon excellence initiatives. We maintain a dual focus: reducing our emissions across our entire value chain and designing low-carbon products and solutions that help our end-customers to reduce their impact throughout the daily use of the buildings.

Our goals for 2030

Scopes 1 and 2: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity (CO2e emissions) by 35%
Scope 3: Reduce emissions from purchasing goods, services and transport by 25%

How do we reach our goals?

At Etex, we are committed to climate change mitigation through short-term energy efficiency projects and long-term carbon excellence initiatives. To drive progress, we have set 2030 goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity for Scopes 1 and 2.

In April 2024, we committed to the SBTi to establish near- and long-term company-wide emission reduction targets aligned with scientific research and the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. While targets are under development, Etex has made progress on Scope 3 emissions, which account for 70% of our total footprint. 70% of this is from purchased goods and services. By 2030, we aim to reduce emissions from purchasing goods, services and transport by 25%.

Scope 1

22.2%

GHG emissions: Emissions from sources we own or control e.g. gas, fuel

Scope 2

GHG emissions: Emissions from electricity and purchased heat or steam

Scope 3

73.8%

GHG emissions: Indirect emissions from our value chain
