Environment: CO2 emissions

Although it may not be apparent at first glance, VPF has taken various measures to minimize CO2 emissions in a sustainable manner:

  • Renovation of the building envelope: insulation of the facade and replacement of windows (over 180 units)
  • Heating: covering the base load with a heat pump (using waste heat from the machines); only the peak load is covered by a gas burner during the very cold season.
  • Use of virtually CO2-free electricity (hydro and nuclear power)
  • Conversion of over 90% of lighting to LED

Emissions from Scope 1 and 2 are limited to 35 tons of CO2 from natural gas, 1 ton of CO2 from diesel, and around 0.3 tons from purchased electricity.

VPF meets the requirements of the SBTi label for an SME, even though it has not applied for it.
