Why It matters to us
Climate change is one of the greatest global challenges of our time, and Europe aims to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
As a manufacturer of bicycle lighting, we see ourselves as partially responsible: our products encourage cycling as part of a sustainable mobility solution, but their production, transportation, and use also generate emissions.
The main sources of emissions along our product lifecycle include the purchased components and packaging, transportation of pre-products throughout the value chain, energy consumption at our site, and the energy used by our products during their long service life.
At the same time, we see opportunities to reduce emissions—through sustainable, circular material choices, a higher share of recycled materials, more energy-efficient manufacturing, and extending the lifespan of our products, for example, by improving their repairability.
Our ambition
1.5 degree target
We align with the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement and the Net Zero approach of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
SBTi
Climate-neutral operations
We aim to achieve climate-neutral operations in Germany by maximizing the reduction of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions and offsetting any remaining emissions.
Avoid, reduce, and offset emissions
Our broader goal is to work with our partners to systematically avoid, reduce, and—where necessary—offset emissions across our entire value chain (Scope 3), in order to make a meaningful contribution to climate action
Mehr dazu unter "Wertvolle Partner"The main emission sources in our CCF are:
Energy consumption (electricity and heating) at our site
Purchased materials and components
Upstream and downstream transport
Product and transport packaging
Energy consumption during the product use phase

Where We’re Headed
Our climate action strategy is based on the following guiding principles:Account, Avoid and Reduce, Invest, Engage.
Account:
Measuring and analyzing our greenhouse gas emissions across all relevant scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3)
Avoid and Reduce:
Implementing emission reduction measures aligned with the 1.5°C target of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero approach
Invest:
Introducing an internal carbon price to support climate-friendly decisions and to fund external climate protection projects
Engage:
Publicly advocating for climate action, collaborating with partners, and supporting ambitious climate policy
Our climate action policy focuses on four strategic areas:
Transparent Emissions Accounting & Reporting (Scope 1–3)
Transparent Emissions Accounting & Reporting (Scope 1–3)
- Detailed recording of our emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol and ESRS requirements
- Annual progress reports on emission trends
- Detailed recording of our emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol and ESRS requirements
- Annual progress reports on emission trends
Emission Avoidance & Reduction Across the Value Chain
Emission Avoidance & Reduction Across the Value Chain
- Reduction of energy-related emissions through implementation of our energy policy
- Reduction of transport-related emissions by optimizing logistics
- Improved material sourcing by integrating more low-emission suppliers
- Extending product lifespan through enhanced repairability and modular design approaches (refurbishment, remanufacturing)

Learning points for the future
Our efforts to promote climate action are not always successful. But even unsuccessful measures offer valuable aha! moments from which we can learn for the future.
Our key aha! moments in the field of climate action in 2024 were:
Scope 3 emissions in the supply chain:
Our influence on suppliers is limited. Greater transparency, dialogue, and collaboration with our partners are needed.
Challenges with sea freight
Switching to more environmentally friendly transport methods isn’t always compatible with our production and logistics processes—or with our customers’ delivery expectations.
Production site
Our production hall is currently heated with oil. Even with the use of renewable energy, we’ve not yet been able to fully replace the oil heating system. The core challenge: meeting base load requirements. We’re actively seeking viable solutions.
