Since 2022, Leuze in Germany has been CO2<\/sub>-neutral. To achieve this, the company has invested in various measures ranging from modernising its buildings and optimising its vehicle fleet to expanding the use of renewable energy.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For Leuze<\/a> means taking responsibility for growth - also for the environment and society. In this context, the Sensor People have achieved a first sub-goal that they had set themselves: since 2022, the company in Germany has been CO2<\/sub>-neutral.<\/p>

To this end, the company initially direct emissions and optimised on this basis at the relevant points<\/strong>Thanks to extensive investment in new buildings and the modernisation of existing buildings, energy consumption has been significantly reduced. Also in the production, Leuze was able to significantly improve its energy efficiency<\/strong>Among other things, a massive expansion of the company's own renewable energy generation using photovoltaics has contributed to this. As a result, the Sensor People were able to reduce the amount of electricity they purchased from third parties by around half last year. With electricity, Leuze has been using 100 per cent green electricity for years<\/strong>. Part of this is supplied by Leuze's own leased hydropower plants.<\/p>

The vehicle fleet has also been optimised: several partially and fully electric company vehicles are already in use. More will follow. Leuze also provides its customers and employees with charging stations. There are also employee offers such as the job bike, including the option of charging e-bike batteries at the company.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To minimise the unavoidable direct CO2<\/sub>-emissions, Leuze supports a programme to offset international forest conservation project in northern Brazil covering around 148,000 hectares<\/strong>. This is not reforestation, but a project that aims to preserve the rainforest as a natural CO2<\/sub>-storage facility. The forest conservation project reduces emissions by avoiding deforestation.<\/p>
