Stationary Sources In our factories and offices we use natural gas mainly for the painting process (90%) and heating (10%). Natural gas consumption accounts for 44% (1,703 tonnes) of our total Scope 1 CO 2 emissions. In 2024, we used a total of 9,590 MWh of natural gas, which is 20% less than in 2023 (11,981 MWh) and 37% less than in our 2019 baseline year (15,145 MWh). This reduction is due to the brand new powder painting line we installed at our plant in Ukraine at the end of 2023. New, more efficient powder coating line in Ukraine The production capacity and
Mobile Sources: Company Cars In 2024, our company cars emitted 1,788 tonnes of CO 2 , representing 46% of our total Scope 1 emissions. Compared to the previous year’s results (1,816 tonnes of CO 2 ), this source of emissions shows only a slight decrease (1.6%). Despite our continued work on the electrification of our fleet, we also had to increase our sales activity in some regions in 2024, resulting in higher annual fuel consumption by our sales representatives. Today, 20% of our global fleet is electric, an increase of 6% compared to last year.
Given how many kilometres I travel, switching to an electric car felt like a logical and smart choice. It’s great not to rely on fossil fuels anymore, and I really enjoy the much quieter drive. It’s better for the environment and for us! It’s even better that I can regularly charge the car at the office using solar power,

brand new, more efficient powder coating line at the end of 2023. The new paint line has a larger capacity and can handle more luminaires per shift. Thanks to this improved efficiency, we used 27% less natural gas per product and, combined with the lower production volume in 2024, this resulted in 37% lower natural gas emissions (301 tonnes of CO2e) compared to 2023 (476 tonnes).
