At Deutsche Börse Group, the environment is an integral part of our sustainability activities. We are committed to our corporate responsibility of environmental protection and the associated sustainable orientation of our business activities. In order to be able to manage our resource consumption even better, we have been collecting and monitoring our CO2 key figures across the Group using a tool-based solution since the end of 2021.
In 2010, the Group Head Office in Eschborn was awarded the platinum standard of the US sustainability certificate "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" (LEED).
We endeavour to contribute to the Paris Climate Agreement with our business activities. Therefore, we have adapted our climate targets in line with current market standards towards a long-term climate strategy in 2023. This comprises Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) aligned near-term targets by 2030 and a net-zero target by 2045:
Near-term targets
- Scope 1 & 2: Deutsche Börse Group aims to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42 per cent by 2030 compared to 2022 as the base year.
- Scope 3: Deutsche Börse Group targets to reduce absolute scope 3 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, business travel and employee commuting by 42 per cent by 2030 compared to 2022 as the base year.
- Scope 3 Supplier Engagement: Deutsche Börse aims to have 87 per cent of its suppliers with science-based targets by 2028, measured by the emissions of purchased goods and services and capital goods.
Net-zero target
- Scope 1, 2 & 3: Deutsche Börse Group strives to reduce its absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% by 2045, compared to 2022 as the base year.
Our targets are based on the GHG protocol and were validated by the SBTi in May 2024. To achieve our targets, we also developed a transition plan in 2024, which contains dedicated emission reduction measures.
