DECARBONIZATION DECARBONIZATION CARBON AND BEYOND Our priority is the reduction of CO₂ emissions rather than offsetting. Since 2020, both BABOR and all its products have been CO₂-neutral. We offset only those emissions that are currently unavoidable.

OUR EMISSION REDUCTION GOAL: Our goal is to reduce the effective CO₂ footprint to no more than 50% of the 2019 value by 2025.

CO ₂-FOOTPRINT The company’s emissions (Corporate Carbon Footprint – CCF) as well as product emissions (Product Carbon Footprint – PCF) were calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) (Scope 1 to 3).For the CCF, in addition to direct emissions such as fleet operations, refrigerants, printed materials, water consumption, and business travel, employee commuting is also included.* Using a digital dashboard, the main drivers of corporate emissions were identified, and effective measures were derived, such as the development of a mobility concept.To determine product emissions, we conduct an annual assessment and look for opportunities to reduce emissions in every new and updated product. This includes the selection of suppliers, as well as the ingredients and packaging materials. In 2021, we succeeded in reducing our CO₂ emissions by 37%

With a range of measures in place to cut CO₂ emissions, we are confident we will meet our target by 2025."CEO Horst Robertz

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT BEYOND - MOREOVER Since 2023, we have taken an additional step by considering the full ecological footprint, not just CO₂.In the future, not only the reduction of CO₂ emissions but also all other environmental impacts of our products will be identified and minimized.Since 2022, all BABOR products and processes have been subjected to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in accordance with GHG Scope 1–3. The environmental impacts of the products are analyzed in detail, and any negative effects are minimized to the greatest extent possible.

KEY PROJEKT: BABOR BEAUTY CLUSTER The new production and logistics hub near our headquarters, the BABOR BEAUTY CLUSTER, has been built to meet the highest sustainability standards. DISCOVER MORE
