Our path towards net zero
The double materiality assessment conducted in 2025 identifies the issues that are particularly important to our company and its environment.
The foundation of our strategy
Scope 1 and 2 compared to 2024
Long-term climate target
The greatest lever is on the road
Transport-related emissions and energy consumption shape our environmental footprint. That is why we are investing in electric trucks, charging infrastructure, solar power and more efficient transport processes.
Selected sustainability measures from our operations
What matters most to us
What impact do we have on the environment and society, and which risks and opportunities affect our company?
In 2025, the Andreas Schmid Group assessed these two perspectives for the first time in a double materiality assessment. Climate protection and energy consumption, safe working conditions, and attracting and retaining employees were identified as particularly relevant. At the same time, we are addressing increasing requirements for sustainable logistics and information security. The results form the foundation of our sustainability strategy.
