Climate protection starts with a clear understanding of where emissions occur and with the commitment to reduce them consistently. At RAUCH, this commitment reached an important milestone when our group-wide climate targets were officially approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in December of 2025. This external validation confirms that our ambitions are aligned with the latest climate science and contribute to limiting global warming in line with the Paris Agreement. But setting targets is only the beginning.

Understanding our impact

To reduce emissions effectively, you first need transparency. That is why RAUCH has been systematically calculating its Corporate Carbon Footprint since 2021. This includes emissions across our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) as well as along the entire value chain from purchased goods to logistics (Scope 3) and emissions from land use and agriculture (FLAG). This comprehensive view allows us to identify where emissions occur, track progress over time and define targeted measures. Today, it is clear that the majority of emissions are located beyond our own production sites, particularly in the upstream supply chain. Understanding these dynamics is a key prerequisite for meaningful climate action.

Setting clear science-based targets

Based on this transparency, RAUCH has defined concrete, science-based reduction targets. With our baseline year set for 2030, we have committed to the following targets:

Near-term targets

• Reduction of absolute GHG emissions from Scope 1 and 2 by 47,1% by 2030
• Reduction of absolute GHG emissions from Scope 3 by 25,0% by 2030
• Reduction of absolute Scope 1 and Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 30,3% by 2030

Long-term targets

• Reduction of absolute GHG emissins from Scope 1, 2 and 2 by 90,0% by 2040
• Reduction of absolute Scope 1 and Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72,0% by 2040
