It also includes the fuel consumption of the largely leased vehicle fleet. In addition, self-generated renewable energies are listed under primary energies. We report on the CO2 emissions caused by fossil fuels accordingly in Scope 1. GRI 302-1a Our production processes do not cause any direct emissions of other greenhouse gases (e.g. process emissions). Refrigerant emissions from cooling and refrigeration systems are negligible compared to CO2 emissions. They are therefore not reported on. In 2023, primary energy demand amounted to 69,852 megawatt-hours, a decrease of 12 percent compared to the previous year. This is due to several effects. At the German locations, for example, savings measures in connection with the gas shortage led to significantly lower consumption. A milder winter resulted in lower consumption at all European locations. In addition, the economic situation also affected primary consumption – for example, due to closing days Scope 1 emissions are mainly derived from fossil fuels in primary energy consumption. Simply shifting between the different energy sources such as heating oil, natural gas, diesel, and petrol can lead to slight deviations. The influencing factors are correspondingly identical to those of primary energy consumption. GRI 305-1 Scope 1 emissions are shown in the second diagram on the right and amounted to 13,471 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2023. We have been offsetting these emissions for the production and logistics network since 2023. Final energy consumption and derived Scope 2 emissions Festo obtains its final energy almost exclusively in the form of electricity. Two locations are heated by district heating. The associated emissions are reported in Scope 2. GRI 302-1c The final energy demand in 2023 amounted to 126,202 megawatt hours, which is 10 percent lower than in the previous year. In addition to economic factors, this was achieved primarily by internal energy-saving measures. Scope 2 emissions caused by final energy demand have fallen to zero due to the purchase of green electricity. The purchase of district heating causes 270 metric tons of CO2e emissions. As these are compensated, they are set to zero. GRI 302-1, 305-2 Total energy demand in relation to sales (primary and final energy) fell by seven percent year-on-year to a record low of 53.7 megawatt hours per million euros. Scope 1 and 2 sales-related emissions fell sharply yearon-year at 70 percent to the lowest figure ever of 3.8 metric tons CO2e million euros in sales. As a result, there is now a decoupling of both energy requirements and greenhouse gas emissions from sales. The much faster development of emissions is due to the purchase of green electricity. In addition, in-house power generation with photovoltaic systems was further expanded. GRI 302-4, GRI 305-4, GRI 305-5 50 51 1. Blue World 2. Strategy and Management 3.
