Our contribution to reducing emissions and resource consumption.
Our goals for a better environment
Reduction in the amount of purchased electricity
We are increasing the proportion of solar power we generate ourselves, thereby reducing our need for purchased electricity. A further step in this direction is the implementation of PV systems at the Bruckberg and Czech Republic sites.
Conscious choice of power supply
As electricity generation from renewable energies has a comparatively low impact on the environment, we almost exclusively use green electricity for our sites.
Reducing fuel consumption
We pay attention to the efficient use of resources in our vehicle fleet: many electric and hybrid vehicles are already on the road used in in Germany and we are also testing new vehicles in the Czech Republic for their fuel efficiency.
How we reduce direct emissions
Scope 1 covers all direct greenhouse gas emissions originating from sources owned or controlled by the company. Over recent years, EFAFLEX has achieved continuous and measurable progress in reducing its Scope 1 footprint. Since the initial assessment in 2021, direct emissions have been lowered by 29%, reaching 1,196 t CO₂e.
This figure represents approximately 3.5% of total emissions in 2024. Among other factors, the expansion of the electric vehicle fleet has contributed to the decline in Scope 1 emissions.
Purchasing certified green electricity reduces reported Scope 2 emissions
Scope 2 covers the indirect emissions generated from purchased energy.
Thanks to the high utilisation rate of our in-house photovoltaic power and the transition to 100% certified green electricity, EFAFLEX was able to reduce Scope 2 emissions in 2024 to 6.5 t CO₂e – a 98% decrease compared with the previous year. This achievement effectively reverses the previously rising trend caused by the increasing electricity demand of our expanding electric vehicle fleet.
189606 kg CO₂ / year
Photovoltaic systems at two locations
Our photovoltaic installations at the Bruckberg and Olsi sites provide a combined capacity of 810,64 kWp. This corresponds to the annual electricity demand of approximately 231 three-person households.

Sustainable Packaging Solutions
EFAFLEX is replacing select plastic components with recyclable solutions made from paper, cardboard, and wood. Plastic cushioning and adhesive tapes have been replaced with fully recyclable paper-based alternatives, and door systems are transported safely and sustainably in custom wooden crates. Through the elimination of unnecessary wooden components, the annual wood consumption has been reduced by approximately 9,000 linear metres.
Long-length packaging is secured using water-activated paper tapes instead of metal staples, and paper document pouches have replaced plastic ones.
This ensures that products are protected safely and in a way that conserves resources.
Electric mobility and charging infrastructure at EFAFLEX
Across its various locations in Germany, EFAFLEX provides a total of 25 charging points for electric and hybrid vehicles. In addition to company cars, employees may also charge their private vehicles free of charge. The charging stations are powered by electricity from the company’s own PV system and certified green electricity. The source, percentage, and year of procurement are disclosed.
E-service vehicles
As part of a pilot project, EFAFLEX is testing fully electric Ford Transit vehicles for customer service operations. Following the positive results from the first vehicle, a second all-electric van is now in service—another step toward the electrification of the service fleet.
