Südpack put a new photovoltaic system into operation at the Erolzheim site in 2021 and is focussing on green electricity. By 2023, the sites in Germany, Poland and the Netherlands are now also to obtain electricity from renewable energy sources. Südpack aims to switch production at its most important sites to green electricity.
One of the most important sustainability goals of South pack is climate neutrality. So all product developments, construction measures, initiatives and co-operations are aimed at reducing CO2-further improve its balance sheet and thus make an essential contribution to the company's climate neutrality.
Another important milestone on this path is the Conversion of locations to green electricity. To this end, the production sites in Germany, Poland and the Netherlands will procure electricity from Scandinavian hydropower. This will enable Südpack to significantly reduce its corporate carbon footprint in the area of Scope 2, i.e. emissions from the use of purchased energy for electricity consumption, heating or cooling, for example.
By switching to electricity from renewable energies, Südpack will Save 100 per cent of CO2 emissions for electricity in 2022.
„A value that is roughly equivalent to 6,950 flights from Munich to Sydney and back - or to the annual heating and electricity consumption of an almost medium-sized German city.“
Erik Bouts, Spokesman of the Management Board at Südpack
The conversion of further locations to a sustainable energy supply is also on the agenda and will be implemented gradually.
