EMS is pursuing ambitious sustainability goals: The company has been CO2 neutral for Scope 1 and Scope 2 since 2020, as confirmed by the DFGE (Institute for Energy, Ecology and Economy) with regard to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. EMS plans to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by at least 50% by 2030 and, in order to make an active contribution towards combating climate change, is aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. (Fig. 2: EMS' goals)
EMS relies on innovative technologies and sustainable processes to continuously increase the share of sustainable material in its products. This can be done in several ways: Use of bio-based raw materials, use of raw materials produced with sustainable energy and with recyclate from chemical and mechanical recycling. (Fig. 3: Options for the production of sustainable products)
In July 2024, EMS successfully completed certification in accordance with ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management systems. This certification shows that EMS has systematically integrated environmental concerns into all company processes and is continuously working to minimize harmful environmental impacts. In addition, EMS received certification according to ISCC Plus, a standard for sustainability and traceability of biomaterials and recycled raw materials that is applied throughout the polymer value chain. This certification strengthens EMS's position as a pioneer in the use of sustainable resources. EMS is particularly proud to have achieved a Gold Rating from EcoVadis, an independent assessment platform for sustainability, ethics, human and labor rights. This award confirms that EMS is one of the leading companies in the world with regard to environmental protection, working conditions, ethics and sustainable procurement.
EMS provides active customer support for reduction of their carbon footprint. With advanced moldflow analyses, replacement of metal with lighter-weight and more sustainable materials as well as process optimization, EMS helps reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact. (Fig. 4: Energy savings for customers from support by EMS). These measures enable customers to make their products more environmentally friendly and achieve their sustainability goals.
CO2 footprints are calculated accurately by EMS using “Umberto 11”, a specialized software for calculation of environmental impact, with the information provided by suppliers or from recognized databases such as “cm.chemicals” or “ecoinvent”. This ensures that all measures to reduce emissions are transparent and effective.
