Path to progress

At BADER, sustainability is integrated into our strategic approach and continuous improvement efforts. We align our activities with recognised sustainability frameworks and contribute to relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals through defined initiatives across our operations and value chain. Since 2010, our Competence Center Sustainability (CCS) has coordinated our sustainability strategy, supporting the integration of economic, environmental and social considerations into our decision-making processes.

Climate Strategy

2030 CO2 Emission Reduction Plan

BADER’s CO₂ Reduction Plan defines clear emission reduction targets aligned with the ambition of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Using 2019 as our baseline year, we aim to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% and Scope 3 emissions by 28% by 2030.* Our targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with validation received in 2024. We are working towards these goals through measures including the increased use of renewable energy, improved energy efficiency and continuous optimisation of our processes. Our approach combines measurable targets, technological innovation and operational improvements to reduce emissions across our value chain.

*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
