Operational efficiency
WEPA Sustainability Report 2020 ↓
We strive for CO2 neutrality and a sustainable water footprint, and we follow the zero-waste approach.
Our ambition is to achieve climate neutrality by 2040, and we have set a target for 2030 that is compatible with 1.5 °C. Currently, our reduction target of -52% CO2eq by 2030 in Scopes 1, 2 and 3 is under review with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Our climate targets are flanked by continuous efficiency improvements and the increasing use of renewable energy. Based on the WWF Water Stewardship project, we will reduce water risks and define concrete water targets by 2030. By 2025, we will recycle 100 % of our production waste materially or energetically. In doing so, we maximise material recycling.
All locations of the WEPA Group are certified according to ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. This underpins our commitment to environmental issues in general and our sensitive handling of energy resources.
