    Performance 2023

    Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2

    Reduction of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions​

    We reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 9% year on year. With that, we have achieved a 51% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with the base year 2019. The goal is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2030. The climate target has been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and certified as being consistent with the 1.5-degrees target.

    Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 3 upstream and downstream

    CO₂ emissions in our upstream supply chain as well as from our products

    In our upstream supply chain, greenhouse gas emissions are (following a change in the method of calculation) at the same level as in the previous year and up 24% from the base year. We were able to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the use phase of our products by 10% year on year, for a 7% reduction compared with the base year, and are therefore on target for 2030.

    Water consumption and hazardous waste

    Resource use in our operations​

    While hazardous waste generation across the group has increased, water consumption is down 6%. Both values are still above the level needed to reach our target. ​

    Share of women

    Promote diversity within our own workforce

    The Krones Group employed more women, both in management-level positions and in general, in 2023 than in 2022. The proportion of women in management positions and in the overall workforce increased by 12% and 4% respectively compared to the previous year.​

    Education

    Education for our workforce

    Participation in continuing education opportunities across the Krones Group is increasing steadily.​

    Workplace accidents

    Strengthening occupational safety

    Workplace accidents were down slightly year on year, while lost days were up in 2023 from the previous year. Nevertheless, we are on target for both figures.

    Bangkok 10:30 / 11 November

    More Manufacturer Responsibility in Thailand

    A sustainable approach to packaging: The Thai initiative “PackBack in Action” has dedicated itself to this goal. A key measure is the promotion and implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR for short.
    In general, EPR is an environmental policy concept in which manufacturers take responsibility for the disposal or recycling of their products at the end of their life cycle. In order to implement such a concept in Thailand, various organisations, industry representatives and government authorities met in Bangkok at the beginning of October for a joint forum. It was initiated by the Federation of Thai Industries, the Department of Pollution Control and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
    The high level of participation in the initiative shows just how much the topic moves the industry: in its third year of existence, it already counts 149 organisations and companies among its members. Krones Thailand is also a member and is delighted to contribute the technical expertise and experience of our Group to the concrete design of the EPR regulations. The common goal is to introduce the EPR model in Thailand by 2027.
