Everllence cuts emissions from own production by 63%

At the heart of the report is Everllence’s revised sustainability strategy, built on three core pillars: ‘decarbonisation is our business’ encompasses the company’s solutions that help customers reduce emissions in energy-intensive sectors such as shipping, energy, and industry. ‘Nature’ stands for responsible resource use, emission reductions at production sites, and the protection of biodiversity. The third pillar, ‘people and society’, brings together initiatives for good working conditions, diversity, and social responsibility.

This strategic realignment is based on a double materiality analysis, incorporating external perspectives and additional topics and data to enhance transparency in reporting.

Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of Everllence, said: “With our sustainability strategy, we are explicitly taking responsibility for the environment and society, embedding this commitment into our corporate strategy, ‘moving big things to zero.’ Decarbonising the global economy is our business. We firmly believe that sustainability and climate protection are key drivers of transformation for German mechanical engineering and the German economy.”

Progress across all three strategic areas

As a provider of decarbonisation solutions, Everllence supports key industries in reducing hard-to-abate emissions. These products are expected to account for at least half of the company’s revenue by 2030; in 2024, 15% of incoming orders were already attributable to green technology. An example is the large scale heat pump in Esbjerg, Denmark, which Everllence has commissioned. It replaces a coal-fired power plant, supplies 25 000 households with climate-neutral district heating, and reduces CO2 emissions by 120 000 tpy.

Everllence also aims to halve its own production-related CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2030. This target has already been exceeded: compared to the 2018 baseline, emissions have been reduced by 63%. Overall, the company’s greenhouse-gas footprint improved by 13% year-on-year, despite nearly constant energy consumption and production hours. This corresponds to a reduction of 6147 tons of CO2, achieved through energy efficiency measures, a switch to carbon-neutral energy sources, and expanded capacity for self-generated solar power.

Dr. Johanna Rauchenberger, Vice President Quality, HSE, Sustainability and Product Safety, said: “By far the greatest leverage for climate protection comes from the use of our products and solutions by our customers. A single container ship powered by LNG instead of conventional fuel can reduce its climate-damaging emissions by up to 30%. If it runs on an alternative fuel like ammonia, it emits no CO2 at all. We track these so-called ‘Scope 4’ emissions and will incorporate them into our future corporate responsibility reporting. We are also proud to have significantly reduced the CO2 emissions generated during the manufacturing of these products in our own facilities – exceeding our targets in this area.”

Dietmar Pinkernell, Head of Sustainability and Product Safety, added: “Staying on track to meet our 2030 reduction targets remains a challenge – especially due to factors like the availability of alternative fuels and our own growth. But we are already in a strong position and will continue to push our initiatives forward with determination.”
