“Emissions Intensity of Production and Factory Structures – The Pathway to Zero Emissions” survey

The “Emissions Intensity of Production and Factory Structures – The Pathway to Zero Emissions” survey provides insights into the current state of manufacturing companies, their motivation, challenges, and proven actions on the road toward becoming a zero emission company. 186 specialists and leaders from 19 sectors participated in the empirical survey in mid-2022.

Most respondents (61 percent) plan to achieve their climate goals by 2030. It should be emphasized that eleven percent of respondents intend to achieve their climate goals only by or after 2045 – hence missing German federal government’s goal to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Although most respondents (85 percent) are familiar with potential improvements they see a considerable need for support in identifying additional actions.
