A tech multinational company vows to uphold responsibility and drive positive change, contributing meaningfully to the advancement of sustainable practices within its sphere of influence. Throughout the 2024 financial year, the company undertook many initiatives, activities, and projects that promoted sustainability strategies across its global operations.
Aligning its climate strategies with the United Nations 2015 Paris Agreement, the company aimed to enhance energy efficiency in its products and reduce carbon emissions. Consequently, in terms of energy demand, the company reduced its direct energy consumption to 2,086 GWh (gigawatt-hour) in 2024, from 2,118 GWh in 2022.
Similarly, in its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from operations, the company made notable progress, reducing Scope 1 emissions to 460 - thousand metric tons of CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent) in 2024 from 523 - thousand metric tons in 2022, and Scope 2 emissions to 71 - thousand metric tons of CO₂e in 2024 from 194 - thousand metric tons of CO₂e in 2022. During the same period, emission intensity improved to 5.88 metric tons of CO₂e per million euros of sales revenue in 2024, down from 8.13 metric tons of CO₂e in 2022, indicating enhanced efficiency and cleaner energy use.
One of the most significant achievements of the company in FY 2024 was its focus on purchasing green electricity, which enabled 99.5% of its global electricity demand to be met through green sources. It demonstrates the company’s strong determination to become fully powered by green electricity by 2030.
In addition to electricity management, the company emphasized waste management as a key principle for building a more sustainable future. As part of its circular economy strategy, the company systematically worked on reducing waste volume and increasing recycling rates. In 2024, the company generated 617,570 metric tons of waste, down from 666,028 metric tons in the previous year, representing a 7.3% decrease.
The company’s efforts in the year reveal more than just corporate responsibility; they signal a profound structural shift towards an environmentally conscious and ethically grounded mode of production. While these achievements mark impressive strides, they also reflect the continuous challenge of embedding sustainability across complex global supply chains. Their example illustrates that environmental stewardship is not a one-time milestone, but an evolving practice that intertwines innovation, accountability, and a vision for collective progress toward a sustainable future.
