Environmental Responsibility
Climate change legislation and world-wide initiatives fighting for a carbon neutral future are reflected in our Sustainability strategy. We have set up our climate neutrality target for 2040 in all three carbon scopes.
To support this challenging goal, we work towards interim 2030 targets where we developed the strategy for 80% carbon reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 and 40 % reduction per sales in the value chain. Our decarbonization targets go alongside Social Responsibility and Responsible Sourcing.

GREEN ELECTRICITY
The ZF Sustainability Strategy sets ambitious decarbonization targets: In 2040 we aim to achieve climate neutrality in all three scopes. Among the variety of decarbonization initiatives, Green Electricity is the key lever and has become a mandatory requirement in the sourcing process. It is part of the bid conditions and then assessed in the SUS Score as one of the knockout criteria.
All our suppliers are to switch to 100% Green Electricity used for manufacturing of ZF products by 2025 at the latest.
The ZF Supplier Guide on Green Electricity is available for download on the ZF Download Center.
