Feldschlösschen: CO2 emissions reduced by 19% since 2007
In 2010 the Feldschlösschen company once again reduced its CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, in fact by -5.3%. Therefore, the target of decreasing the CO2 emissions by at least 4% was exceeded.
In 2007 Feldschlösschen entered into a target commitment with the Swiss Federal Office of Energy and has since been co-operating intensely with the ‘Energieagentur der Wirtschaft (EnAW – Energy Agency of the Economy)’. Since 2007 Feldschlösschen reduced its CO2 emissions from fossil fuels by a total of 19%.
For the coming years Feldschlösschen has scheduled further reductions of 4% annually at minimum. In order to considerably reduce the CO2 emissions from motor fuels (diesel, petrol), the company is investing in a new fleet of HGVs. In total Feldschlösschen is procuring 136 vehicles that comply with the latest environmental standards. Furthermore, since autumn 2010 Feldschlösschen has used five light electric lorries for supplying customers in the catering industry. The completely CO2-free vehicles are used in the urban regions of Basel, Zurich, Berne, Geneva, and in Ticino.
The entire Feldschlösschen company has been certified ISO 9001:2008 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment). Feldschlösschen was the first Swiss brewery to be certified for quality and environment.
