For Sedus, sustainable management means living a holistic approach that protects the foundations for tomorrow's life, today. In order to maintain an environmentally intact world, environmental protection and resource conservation are indispensable – from the choice of materials for sustainable office furniture to processing and packaging to recycling.
The objective has been clearly set: By 2025, Sedus aims to be CO₂ neutral at its administrative and production sites.
The carbon footprint, also called CO₂ footprint or CO₂ balance, represents the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (measured in CO₂ equivalent) caused, directly and indirectly, by the company's activities.
The CCF at Sedus totalled 27,591 t CO₂ in 2022. By disclosing its CCF, Sedus creates transparency for customers, partners and employees. Sedus reports its corporate carbon footprint (CCF) according to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol in three scopes:
direct emissions
indirect emissions from purchased energy
indirect emissions within the value chain
Sedus is committed to reducing energy consumption in the long term and increasing energy efficiency in a continuous improvement process. To achieve this, in 2012 the company introduced an energy management system in accordance with DIN ISO 50001. Sedus regularly checks that:
As a globally networked company, Sedus sets high standards and has them verified by external organisations.
