The company has raised its CO2e reduction target for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions to 52% by 2030 and, for the first time, added scope 3 targets. These targets were externally validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Wolf Lehmann, CFO of Gerresheimer AG, stated, “Despite a very challenging financial year in 2025, we significantly improved key sustainability metrics and, for the first time, reported on our sustainability performance in alignment with the CSRD. Our goal is to support our customers on their path toward increased sustainability. This includes not only sustainable product options but also transparent reporting.”
