ESG Focus Areas

  • Climate Change

Environmental Achievements

  • Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 has led to a year-on-year decrease of fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions. The supply of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) has declined by 37 % in metric tonnes and by 47 % in terms of tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 2015 until 2019.

Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Achieve climate neutrality within the Union at the latest by 2050.
Medium-term Goals:
  • Reduce fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
Short-term Goals:
  • Not disclosed

Environmental Challenges

  • Fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions amount to 2,5 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the Union, and have doubled from 1990 to 2014 in contrast to other greenhouse gas emissions, which have fallen.
  • The evaluation of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 shows that the emission savings envisaged by 2030 in the context of the outdated Union climate objectives will not be fully achieved.
  • Global increases in HFC emissions.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 was adopted to reverse the increase in fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol will reduce HFC production and consumption by more than 80 % over the next 30 years.
  • This Regulation ensures that the Union comply with its international obligations under the Kigali Amendment.
  • Provisions on the recovery of substances are introduced in light of the communications of the Commission on circular economy principles.
  • Obligations relating to the extended responsibility for producers in the case of waste electrical and electronic equipment also cover the management of the fluorinated greenhouse gases contained or used in waste electrical and electronic equipment.
