Corporate Carbon Footprint 2025
Transparency About Our Climate Impact
As a distributor at the heart of the packaging supply chain, we measure, report and improve our CO₂ emissions in line with the GHG Protocol — covering scope 1, 2 and 3 in full.
Our Position In The Chain
At The Heart Of The Packaging Supply Chain
GAASCH PACKAGING distributes primary glass and plastic packaging to food, beverage and pharmaceutical companies. This central position makes us both unique and responsible.
Operating at the centre of the chain gives us influence in two directions: we select suppliers based on sustainability criteria, and we advise customers on lighter, reusable or recycled packaging solutions. This dual lever is the cornerstone of our climate strategy.
Our position in the value chain
Emissions Inventory 2025
Where Are Our Emissions?
We measure all three scopes in line with the GHG Protocol. The breakdown immediately shows where the greatest opportunities lie: more than 93% of emissions sit in scope 3 — the value chain.
“Our scope 3 is not a burden to report — it is the map that tells us where we can make the greatest difference.”
GAASCH PACKAGING — Climate Strategy 2025
Where We Have Direct Control
Scope 1 & 2: Taking Concrete Steps Forward
Where GAASCH PACKAGING has direct control, it acts. In recent years, tangible results have been achieved on fleet, buildings and energy contracts. Our scope 2 emissions stand at 0 tCO₂e under the market-based method — the result of targeted green energy contracts.
01 — Fleet Renewal
We are gradually increasing the share of electric company cars and electric forklifts. Our drivers are trained in eco-driving to reduce fuel consumption across the entire fleet.
02 — Green Electricity
Contractual procurement of renewable electricity under the market-based method, resulting in 0 tCO₂e for scope 2 in 2025.
03 — More Energy-Efficient Buildings
LED lighting, building automation and insulation upgrades in warehouses and offices structurally reduce energy consumption.
Scope 3 Strategy
The Supply Chain As A Lever
With 99.5% of emissions in scope 3, the value chain is the only place where GAASCH PACKAGING can achieve truly scalable impact. Our dual role as both buyer and advisor gives us the unique tools to do so.
Supplier Evaluation
Systematic assessment of climate performance. Suppliers who provide their own CO₂ data are favoured in the selection process.
Packaging Innovation
Advice on recycled materials, lightweighting and reusable packaging to reduce customers' downstream footprint.
Smart Logistics
Route optimisation and shipment consolidation reduce upstream (674 tCO₂e) and downstream (1,866 tCO₂e) transport emissions.
Supply Chain Collaboration
Primary data exchange with customers and suppliers reduces uncertainties and strengthens the quality of scope 3 reporting.
Methodology & Reliability
How We Measure
Our CO₂ measurement follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 — including emissions in our supply chain. We use Carbon+Alt+Delete software and carry out the measurement internally. Starting point: base year 2023.
WHERE ARE OUR EMISSIONS?
>99% of our emissions sit in the supply chain — not in our own operations. That makes collaboration with suppliers our greatest lever.
