Climate Action Plan

Climate Action Plan

The climate journey will not be a success without effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To provide the necessary focus along the way, Schaeffler developed a comprehensive Climate Action Plan in 2022. This plan forms the basis for developing and implementing the necessary climate action measures and includes concrete measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting decision-making processes. The Climate Action Plan consists of six key areas of focus.

The Climate Action Plan serves as a compass for Schaeffler's Climate Journey.

1

Strategy

The strategy consists of targets and measures such as the establishment of sustainability criteria in key business processes, in order to achieve carbon neutrality in the Schaeffler Group by 2040 and promote an emissions reduction path that goes beyond the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement.

2

Green Purchasing

This element addresses the development and purchase of low-emission materials and services. Particularly when it comes to steel, aluminum, plastic, electronic components, and logistics, Schaeffler is interested in maintaining an active dialogue with suppliers.

3

Green Production

Decarbonization of production is primarily based on increasing energy efficiency, using renewable energy, and retrofitting equipment for a switch to climate-neutral production. Schaeffler is pursuing a variety of strategies such as increased selfgenerated renewable energy and a shift in fuel technology.

4

Green Products

Green products not only benefit people and the environment but also provide competitive advantages, which is why Schaeffler is developing a comprehensive concept for automated, holistic calculation of carbon footprints. In addition, new production systems and decision-making concepts are being developed.

5

Finance & IT

Internal and external sustainability reporting cannot be introduced without the development of consistent models for sustainability data and a suitable IT infrastructure.

6

People

Schaeffler organizes training and informational campaigns, for example, to acquaint employees with climate-friendly behavior and the significance of climate change.
