GEMÜ GmbH's manufacturing site in Emmen (Switzerland), a subsidiary of the GEMÜ Group, has been awarded the "CO₂ Neutral (Gold)" Swiss Climate Label for the first time in recognition of its wide range of climate and environmental protection measures.

A voluntary analysis of its CO₂ emissions in the 2020 financial year revealed a very positive picture for GEMÜ GmbH. With average emissions of 5 tons of CO₂ per FTE (full-time equivalent), GEMÜ GmbH is achieving an excellent figure in a sector comparison.

At the same time, the measures implemented by GEMÜ Switzerland to reduce its CO2 emissions were evaluated. The use of 100% green electricity has reduced the share of GEMÜ Switzerland's total CO2 emissions that can be attributed to current consumption to just 0.1%. Furthermore, the results of heating consumption are particularly encouraging. GEMÜ GmbH primarily heats using heat recovery from refrigeration machines, which is why heating consumption is reported as 0 tons of CO₂.

Alongside these initiatives to reduce CO₂, GEMÜ Switzerland offsets the remaining 613 tons of CO₂ emissions by purchasing certificates from the "Renewable Energy from Sawdust" environmental project and has been awarded the "CO₂ Neutral (Gold)" Swiss Climate Label for its overall commitment to reducing CO₂.
