CO2-Neutrale Produktion
bei Föhl

Föhl proves that even an energy-intensive company such as a foundry for zinc die casting can effectively strive for carbon neutrality*:

The company formulated an environmental policy for resource-conserving production with intelligent solutions and clear values and was the second company in the Rems-Murr district to be certified in accordance with the EMAS Eco Audit back in 1996.

This voluntary certification is linked to the balancing of all material balances at our production sites. Each individual site is validated by an independent environmental auditor, who determines the extent to which the environmental targets have been met. These are published in an environmental statement.

*High-quality offsets for Scope 1-emissions through the comustion of heating oil and natural gas through gold standard certificates and Scope 2-emissions through the purchase of 100% green electricity.

Our annual environmental targets derived from this validation require us to constantly lower our Co2 emissions and our waste and energy quantities as much as possible, to replace pollutants in the production whenever possible and thereby constantly increase energy efficiency.

We have always considered these measures to be a corporate obligation and an essential contribution to protecting our environment and the Earth.
