APG|SGA’s 2024 Sustainability Report: New group-wide climate targets and EcoEntreprise certification

The 22nd APG|SGA Sustainability Report 2024 provides an overview of the company’s progress in implementing sustainability measures and the objectives of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy.

In 2024, the new group-wide climate targets, including a net-zero roadmap by 2045, were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Compared with the previous year, Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 5 per cent, attributable, amongst other things, to the increased use of biogas and new measures to optimise fuel consumption.

“The validation of our climate targets by the SBTi was the logical next step in our ambitious environmental management programme. In the long term, APG|SGA is committed to significantly reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. We have planned a series of further measures to support us on this reduction pathway,” says Andres Trautmann, Head of Sustainability at APG|SGA.

Sustainability and social responsibility are firmly embedded in the company’s strategy. This is demonstrated by the fact that APG|SGA’s sustainability management was awarded the ‘EcoEntreprise Sustainable Development – Social Responsibility’ certificate in 2024. The certificate is based on the ISO 26000 standard and is awarded following an independent audit. The CSR organisational structure was specifically revised in the run-up to this to improve the holistic integration of the sustainability strategy into day-to-day operations. A key step was the establishment of the ‘CSR Board’ to ensure the consistent involvement of all business units and to align the strategy with day-to-day operations.

Furthermore, APG|SGA is committed to diversity, equal pay and fair working conditions throughout its entire supply chain. In addition, the company supports numerous cultural and social initiatives through poster sponsorship.
