"I am proud of the team and the fact that we have developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy within a good twelve months. We have set ourselves ambitious targets, such as reducing emissions across the entire production network by 90 per cent (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2030 compared to the 2021/22 financial year. In the 2022/23 financial year, we were able to - adjusted for special effects such as the milder winter - we were already able to save 19.4 per cent energy. In addition, since 2023, 100 per cent certified green electricity has been used at all German production sites and CO2e emissions have been reduced by 29 per cent overall and 24.5 per cent per trailer."
