been carbon neutral overall (scope 1 & 2)*. Four levers were used to achieve carbon neutrality: increasing energy efficiency, generating our own energy from renewable sources (new clean power), purchasing electricity from renewable sources (green electricity), and — as the last resort — using carbon credits to offset residual CO₂ emissions. In 2023, residual emissions of around 581,000 metric tons of CO₂ were offset by carbon credits.</p> <p>At the same time, we also want to reduce emissions produced outside Bosch’s direct sphere of influence (scope 3), for example at suppliers, in logistics, or when our products are used. Our aim is to reduce these upstream and downstream emissions by 15 percent in absolute terms by 2030, compared with the baseline year 2018 — irrespective of our company’s growth.</p> <p>As early as 2020, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) endorsed our climate targets for the 1.5 degree pathway.** Bosch now has science-based climate targets for the entire value chain — from purchasing to the product use phase.</p> <p><sub>* Scopes 1, 2, and 3 are used here in accordance with the <a target="_blank" aria-label="Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard opens external site" rel="noopener, noreferrer" href="https://ghgprotocol.org/corporate-standard"><span>Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting</span> <span>Standard<i class="a-icon ui-ic-nosafe-lr-externallink"></i></span></a>. We have taken into account the effects of CO₂ and of other greenhouse gases, as well as climate-relevant substances, to the extent that these are of relevance for the analysis. To enable comparability between the climate impact of the various greenhouse gases and substances of relevance for the climate, emissions are presented in CO₂ equivalents.

processes (heating, process heat). In addition, we refer to carbon credits to offset electricity sourced in countries with only limited availability of green electricity. As we make progress with levers 1 to 3, we want to gradually reduce the share that we offset to achieve carbon neutrality (scope 1 & 2) to no more than 15 percent by 2030 (baseline year 2018).</strong></p> <p>In 2023, we came another step closer to achieving this target — especially as a result of progressively switching from gray to green electricity (gray electricity: electricity from fossil fuels). In 2023, we cut the volume of emissions to be offset to some 581,000 metric tons of CO₂. This is around 136,000 metric tons of CO₂ or 19 percent less than in the previous year.</p> <p>When selecting carbon offset projects, we use as guidance internationally recognized and independent certifications such as the <a target="_blank" aria-label="Gold Standard opens external site" rel="noopener, noreferrer" href="https://www.goldstandard.org/"><span>Gold</span> <span>Standard<i class="a-icon ui-ic-nosafe-lr-externallink"></i></span></a>.
