Environmental Targets and Performance
SBTi targets
- Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46.2% (2019 baseline)
- Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 51.6% per EUR value added (2021 baseline)
- Source 100% renewable electricity on-site
- Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% (2019 baseline)
- Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 97% per EUR value added (2021 baseline)
Scope 1 and 2
Alfen reduces operational emissions by electrifying its fleet, switching to electric heating, improving building energy efficiency, and increasing renewable electricity use.
These actions have already cut Scope 1 emissions significantly and allowed Alfen to already achieve its Scope 2 2050 target, demonstrating strong progress toward Alfen’s decarbonisation goals.
Scope 3
Scope 3 emissions cover purchased materials, manufacturing, and product use. Alfen reduces these by improving supplier efficiency, designing lower-impact products, and increasing renewable energy in its supply chain. Product innovations, such as lighter EV chargers, reduced-gas switchgear, and renewable-energy-backed production, also help lower its footprint.
Alfen’s largest source of scope 3 emissions are efficiency losses during the use of Alfen's products. Since these emissions are primarily derived from the electricity consumption from national grids, Alfen expects this figure to decline as more renewables are added to the mix. Reducing emissions from efficiency losses further is subject to EU regulations (through EU Directive Tier 2 Eco Design 2019/1783) which set the efficiency standards of Alfen's transformers.
