Sustainable manufacturing and carbon‑neutral commitment are priority areas for Schaeffler Group. The group continues to expand its commitment in the field of climate protection. At the recently concluded COP26, the group announced that it aims to operate as a climate‑neutral Company from 2040. This objective covers the decarbonisation of both production facilities, which will be carbon neutral by 2030, as well as the Company’s supply chain.
