In 2023, Franke Group reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 25,075,000 kg CO2e, which includes 9,334,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 15,741,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, amounting to about 19,850,755,000 kg CO2e, primarily from the use of sold products (approximately 18,553,038,000 kg CO2e). Franke has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, with a base year of 2020. The company has established near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 56% by 2030 and to cut Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution by 32.5% by 2033. Additionally, Franke is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2050. These targets are part of a broader strategy to transition to renewable energy sources, including hydro power and photovoltaic systems, particularly at its production site in Aarburg, which is already CO2-neutral. Franke's emissions data and climate targets are cascaded from its parent company, Franke Holding AG, which oversees the company's sustainability initiatives. The targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect a commitment to maintaining emissions reductions consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
