With our Climate Transition Plan 2040, we remain dedicated to transparency and excellence in achieving our goals."
Strategic Climate Goals:
In alignment with its commitment to environmental responsibility, GEA aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire value chain by 2040. By 2026, the company targets a 60 percent reduction in GHG emissions from its own activities (Scope 1 and 2). Furthermore, GEA strives for an 80 percent reduction in GHG emissions from its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and a 27.5 percent reduction in product-related emissions (Scope 3) by 2030. The recent validation of GEA's long-term and upgraded medium-term targets by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) underscores the credibility of these ambitious goals.

The significance of CDP scores in driving investment decisions is highlighted by the involvement of over 740 financial institutions with assets exceeding US$136 trillion in 2023. This massive engagement led to responses from a record-breaking 24,000 companies. CDP's detailed methodology, evaluating factors such as disclosure comprehensiveness, environmental risk management, and environmental leadership best practices, emphasizes the importance of setting meaningful targets.
