Protecting our environment is very important to us as the Berlac Group. That is why we pay attention to sustainable and resource-conserving management throughout the Group – in all areas of the company.<\/p>\n

We continuously optimize the processes and activities associated with our business activities with regard to their impact on the environment and thus also on the social environment.<\/p>\n

We have been developing waterborne coatings since the 1970s, and today they account for 70% of our volume production.<\/p>\n

ENGAGEMENT<\/h2>\n
\n

Weckerle is committed to reducing CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of methods. We use 2019 as a reference, as this is the most representative and suitable data is available. Methods for reduction are still under review and will be explained in the future. Our reduction is planned in the following order:<\/p>\n

1. avoidance
\n2. reduction
\n3. compensation<\/p>\n

Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reduce our global GHG emissions from
\nScope 1 and 2 by 50% by 2030 (compared to 2019).<\/p>\n

\nReduction of our GHG emissions in connection with
\nScope 3 by 15% by 2030 (compared to 2019).<\/p>\n

Note: The reduction is calculated on the goods we produce annually.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
