But what are the right measures for more climate protection and how should they be prioritized? And what effect can they actually be expected to have? The DFGE Climate Action Plan is a tool that is used to identify all climate-relevant impacts with the involvement of the relevant stakeholders in the company and to develop a clear and robust plan for CO2 reduction. A KPI dashboard helps to keep track of and control the implementation of the action plan.

The company&#8217;s risks and opportunities must be disclosed both with regard to the achievement of the emission reduction targets, including possible transition risks, and with regard to the expected financial impact &#8211; including taxonomy-compliant performance indicators. The necessary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to achieve the climate targets &#8211; net zero emissions by 2050 must be defined in the form of measurable and comparable targets, known as Science Based Targets (SBT).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d28c4c46fa8\" data-id=\"69d28c4c46fa8\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"40\" data-height-tab=\"40\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;31182&#8243;
