Siemon reports major emissions cut as part of ambitious sustainability goals

The Siemon Company has announced a major step forward in its sustainability efforts, achieving a 52.5% absolute reduction in its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions between 2021 and 2024.

This achievement highlights Siemon’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and reinforces its long-term goal of operating more sustainably while ensuring consistent, reliable product delivery for its global customers.

The company reported a drop in Scope 1 emissions from 271 to 195 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, and a significant reduction in Scope 2 emissions from 1,163 to 486 tonnes over the same period.

These improvements are the result of a comprehensive strategy that included extensive energy audits to identify and address inefficiencies, a shift toward renewable energy, especially solar power, and widespread upgrades to lighting and HVAC systems to enhance overall energy efficiency. Siemon also rolled out robust waste reduction and recycling initiatives and made targeted improvements to its manufacturing processes to support lower energy consumption and emissions.

These efforts form part of the company’s broader ESG strategy, which includes setting science-based targets and collaborating with supply chain partners on sustainable practices.

Looking ahead, Siemon plans to continue investing in advanced energy technologies and maintain its transparent reporting practices to ensure accountability and help customers meet their own climate goals.

“We are proud to announce this significant reduction in our GHG emissions as a critical step in our decarbonisation journey. Our commitment to innovative energy solutions and continuous improvement in operational efficiency is a testament to our proactive approach in addressing climate change. By investing in renewable energy, optimising processes, and engaging in comprehensive energy audits, we are setting new benchmarks for sustainability in our industry and building a more resilient and efficient supply chain to better serve our customers in the long run”, said John Siemon, chief technology officer and chief operations officer, Siemon.
