energy & emissions
At delfort, we are fully committed to energy efficiency and decarbonized production, aiming for net zero emissions. To achieve this, we have a clear “Climate Care” roadmap in place, which addresses the scale and complexity of these challenges. It is a holistic program that considers all aspects, starting with regulations and laws, market expectations and customer needs, best available technology and operations, and the purchasing of energy, raw materials and equipment, through to reporting and disclosure.

driving climate actions
Climate change is the most significant challenge humanity faces today. By committing to reduce our net GHG emissions to zero by 2050, we are taking responsibility for future generations.
Aligned with the Paris Agreement (1.5°C target), we committed ourselves to the SBTi Net-Zero Standards. Our near-term-target includes a 54.7% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2033 and a 95% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2050.
Over-performing our planned emission reduction
We have developed a decarbonization corridor to reach our SBTi net zero goal. To navigate an uncertain future, we use scenario planning to explore potential outcomes and ensure flexibility in responding to evolving circumstances and customer needs, with the potential for even faster decarbonization. An acceleration relies on collaboration with our customers, fostering a joint approach. In 2024, we were able to reduce even more emissions (-13.6) with our ambitious decarbonization initiatives than we had aimed at in our corridor (-6.9%/-5.2%).
our actions in 2024
energy efficiency projects
A significant portion of our investments focused on energy efficiency projects directly aimed at reducing GHG emissions. Many of these initiatives are longterm in nature, and in 2024, we concentrated on further planning and advancing them through the following key areas:
In 2024, a hybrid boiler was installed at one of our production sites, and several boiler houses were
prepared for burning alternative and biogenic fuels.
