The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved Flender’s net-zero greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, confirming their alignment with global climate goals. The German drivetrain solutions provider commits to cutting absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 63 per cent by FY 2030 (from an FY 2021 baseline) and reducing scope 3 emissions by 51.6 per cent per ton of sold product. By FY 2045, Flender aims to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90 percent and scope 3 emissions by 97 per cent per ton of sold product. Sustainability initiatives include waste heat recovery at its Bocholt site, green electricity procurement in North Rhine-Westphalia, and solar power generation at facilities in India and Germany. CEO Andreas Evertz emphasised the urgency of climate action, stating, “Despite global challenges, we remain committed to science-based climate targets.” Flender’s sustainability efforts have earned it a top 1 per cent ranking in EcoVadis and the German Sustainability Award 2024.
