Gerresheimer has released its non-financial sustainability report for the 2025 financial year.
The company reduced its scope 1 and scope 2 CO2 emissions by 31% compared to 2019.
It also increased the share of electricity from renewable sources in its total electricity consumption to 54%.
Its lost time incident rate (LTIR), which measures the frequency of work-related injuries or illnesses that result in employees missing workdays, improved by approximately 63%.
Furthermore, the company has raised its CO2 reduction target for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions to -52% by 2030, as well as adding Scope 3 targets.
These targets were externally validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
Wolf Lehmann, CFO of Gerresheimer AG, said: “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.”
The report is aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
The company also achieved a Gold rating from sustainability rating provider EcoVadis.
The provider evaluates the management systems of companies worldwide in the categories of environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
More than 150,000 companies are evaluated by EcoVadis every year, and Gerresheimer’s improved score of 78/100 in 2025 placed it in the top 4% of all evaluated companies and the top 1% in its industry.
