The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially validated the near-term greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of Qlar Group GmbH (formerly Schenck Process), marking a major step forward in the company’s sustainability journey.
With this validation, Qlar has established measurable and binding emissions reduction goals covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3, in line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, making climate action a core element of its corporate strategy.
Clear Emission Reduction Commitments by 2033
Qlar has committed to cutting its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 55% by 2033, using 2023 as the baseline year. In addition, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 36% within the same timeframe.
Dr. Jörg Ulrich, CEO of Qlar Group, stated that SBTi’s validation represents an important milestone in aligning the company’s climate ambitions with science-based standards, while ensuring transparency and accountability for customers, partners, and employees.
Sustainability Across the Entire Value Chain
The validated 2033 targets form a key part of Qlar’s broader sustainability roadmap. The company is focusing on emissions reduction throughout its value chain while also developing more efficient and resource-saving process technologies for its customers.
Qlar has also set a long-term goal of achieving net zero emissions across all scopes by 2050. By 2033, it plans to meet 100% of its electricity needs through renewable energy sources.
Beyond emissions, the company is also prioritizing reduced water consumption, responsible waste handling, and improved supply chain management.
Supporting Industrial Decarbonization
As a leader in industrial processing technologies, Qlar plays an active role in helping customers transition toward more sustainable production. Its solutions contribute to lowering emissions and conserving resources in sectors such as:
- Green steel and cement production
- Recycling industries
- Battery cell manufacturing
One example is the MultiFlex Feeder, which reduces energy consumption in cement production and enables the use of non-recyclable waste materials as alternative energy sources.
Qlar’s validated science-based targets demonstrate its commitment to measurable climate progress and long-term sustainability leadership.
