Logistics Transport activities relating to the movement of raw materials and finished products are another significant source of Scope 3 emissions. Logistics accounted for 14.8% of Scope 3 emissions outside of Category 11 in 2025. Inbound logistics This includes the transportation of raw materials and components to Schréder’s manufacturing facilities. In 2025, emissions from inbound logistics totalled 6,448 tonnes of CO₂e, which was a 15% decrease compared to 2024 (7,627 tonnes). This reduction was primarily driven by lower production volumes during the reporting period. Outbound logistics Outbound logistics refers to the distribution of finished products to customers and distribution partners. Schréder’s eco-design initiatives, which focus on lighter product designs and optimised packaging solutions, contribute to reducing transportation-related emissions. In 2025, emissions from outbound logistics totalled 8,124 tonnes of CO₂e, a 28% decrease compared to 2024 (11,228 tonnes). This reduction reflects design-related improvements and lower overall sales volumes during the year.
Business Travel Schréder continues to encourage its employees to prioritise virtual collaboration and remote meetings, only travelling when in-person engagement offers clear benefits. Thanks to these efforts and our employees’ continued commitment, business travel emissions fell by 37% in 2025, dropping from 1,827 to 1,147 tonnes of CO₂e. Future Strategy While these emission categories account for a small proportion of Schréder’s total climate footprint, we are committed to improving operational efficiency, refining product design and promoting responsible travel and logistics practices. Monitoring these sources provides valuable insights into the broader climate impact of our value chain. This supports our long-term decarbonisation strategy and aligns with the GHG Protocol and CSRD reporting requirements.
Collecting Primary Scope 3 Data from Suppliers To improve the accuracy and usefulness of the decisions based on our Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory, we have implemented a structured framework for collecting primary data. This approach prioritises suppliers based on the carbon intensity tier associated with their segment category, ensuring that efforts are focused on those activities with the greatest potential impact. A key focus area is aluminium foundries , as aluminium has one of the highest cradle-to- gate carbon intensities in the global value chain, particularly in primary production. This process is a significant contributor to upstream emissions. Therefore, improving the granularity of data sourced from aluminium suppliers has a significant impact on the quality of our Scope 3 calculations. Information relating to primary emissions is obtained directly from suppliers via a dedicated data collection template. All submissions are checked for plausibility and completeness internally before being incorporated into our GHG accounting processes. This systematic validation process enhances the reliability of our emission factors and enables more precise decarbonisation planning. The primary data programme not only improves data quality, but also serves as an important lever for supplier engagement . By increasing transparency and promoting shared responsibility for reducing emissions, the process integrates our partners into our broader sustainability journey. Increasing visibility across our supply chain is a fundamental step towards effective carbon management practices. Categorising suppliers based on their processes, materials, and segment importance enables more informed strategic decision-making and supports the integration of sustainable objectives throughout our procurement activities.
