Climate protection is a key objective of our sustainability strategy. Schmitz Cargobull is committed to reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90 % by 2029/30 and achieving net-zero emissions along the entire value chain by 2044/45. Our climate targets are scientifically based and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

With measures such as renewable energies, energy efficiency, eco-design and innovative transport solutions, we are shaping the transition to climate-neutral logistics. Our focus is particularly on reducing emissions along the cold chain. In the 2024/25 financial year, 25 % of our energy consumption already came from renewable sources. We are continuously reducing our carbon footprint through the use of photovoltaics, heat pumps, LED technology and certified green electricity. Energy intensity per unit produced is 1.95 MWh and is being further optimised through digitalisation and smart factory concepts.
