Transparent measures and 97.5% green electricity
Our contribution to climate protection
As the Feddersen Group, we actively take responsibility for climate protection. Our focus is consistently on avoidance and reduction. One major success: we already obtain 97.5% of our electricity from renewable sources which reduced our market-basedScope 2 emissions by 25% in 2024.
However, we are going further: we are currently defining specific reduction targets for our indirect emissions along the entire value chain (Scope 3). Close cooperation with our suppliers is crucial here, for example to minimise emissions from purchased goods. In 2024, the Group's carbon footprint, including all Scope 3 categories, which account for around 99% of our total carbon footprint, totalled 1,360 ktCO2e.

Focus on environmental protection
Our commitment begins with the avoidance of plastic pellet losses. The first company among the Feddersen Group to commit to the "Operation Clean Sweep®" (OCS) is our plastics production site at AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH in Niederzissen. We use technical equipment and optimised processes to prevent material leakage and also motivate our partners to join us. In addition to preventing granulate, we protect water, air and soil through efficient management systems and the substitution of hazardous substances wherever possible.

Water management and innovative technologies
We are actively committed to minimising our water consumption in order to conserve natural resources and continuously optimise processes. We utilise innovative solutions at our production sites in Germany: Closed cooling circuits and belt filters enable multiple use of water. Dry-running vacuum systems also reduce water pollution. In 2024, we were thus able to reduce our water intensity to an efficient 298 m³ per million euros of turnover, with a total consumption of approx. 250,000 m³. This demonstrates our success in protecting this valuable resource. Our aim is to further minimise our water footprint and thus make a sustainable contribution.
Efficient use of resources and innovative business models
The circular economy in practice
The Feddersen Group is actively shaping the transition towards a functioning circular economy. Our aim is to continuously improve resource efficiency and consistently minimise emissions and waste. We focus on the efficient use of energy and raw materials and are driving forward progressive waste management.
In the plastics sector in particular, we are promoting the establishment of closed-loop systems by increasing our use of recycled materials and making the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of our products transparent and quantifiable. Our cross-company unit, Circular Business Models, is actively shaping this transformation. In addition, we have been investing since 2022 in promising start-ups that are developing circular economy business models. Together with our partners, we are paving the way towards a resource-efficient and future-oriented economy.
