APG|SGA: New Group-wide climate targets and EcoEntreprise certification

In 2024, the new Group-wide climate targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) with a net-zero roadmap until 2045. Compared to the previous year, greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1 and 2 were reduced by 5%, which is partly due to the increased proportion of biogas and new measures to optimize fuel consumption. "The validation of our climate targets by the SBTi was the logical next step in our ambitious environmental management. In the long term, APG|SGA is committed to significantly reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. We have planned a series of further measures to support us on this reduction path," says Andres Trautmann, Head of Sustainability at APG|SGA.

Sustainability and social responsibility are firmly anchored in the corporate strategy. This is demonstrated by the fact that APG|SGA's sustainability management was awarded the "EcoEntreprise Sustainable Development - Social Responsibility" certificate in 2024. The certificate is based on the ISO 26000 standard and is awarded following an independent audit. The CSR organizational structure was specifically revised in advance in order to improve the holistic integration of the sustainability strategy into the operational business.

A key step was the establishment of the "CSR Board" in order to consistently involve all areas of the company and combine the strategy with day-to-day business. APG|SGA is also committed to diversity, equal pay and fair working conditions along the entire supply chain. In addition, the company supports numerous cultural and social initiatives through poster sponsorship.
