Sustainability - Plymovent towards net zero

Our road to net zero

We are determined to fulfil our commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement and lead our company in the transformation towards a net zero company. A huge challenge for the world and for us. One of the most important things we can do is to reduce our emissions and improve the carbon footprint. E.g. developing products and solutions with a reduced CO2 footprint in mind and reduction of our energy consumption are part of our climate strategy.

This is how we are going to achieve this:

We defined a clear scope in close cooperation with the Climate Neutral Group, part of Anthesis
Carbon footprints were made for all the Plymovent offices around the world
Quick wins (reductions) were identified and implemented immediately
Plans have been developed, per office location, to further reduce emissions and these plans and actions have become a structural part of the Plymovent strategy and have been embedded in the annual business cycle
Our goal: Net zero in 2025!

In the meantime we have been audited by EcoVadis, the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. Our sustainability efforts have been awarded with a Bronze medal in the 2021 audit. And this is just the start: we continue to improve and ‘go for gold’!
