Leading the glass industry to decarbonise
The AGC Group’s sustainability objective is to reduce the company carbon footprint by 30 percent in 2030 (FY2019, scope 1+2+3) and achieve net zero carbon (scope 1+2) by 2050. To contribute to this objective, AGC Glass Europe set out a carbon reduction roadmap that takes all parts of the value chain into consideration. AGC Glass Europe monitors its carbon footprint on a yearly basis. According to GHG calculations, it is estimated that in 2024 the Carbon Footprint of AGC Glass Europe was 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, which marks a gradual progress in its net-zero trajectory.
AGC Glass Europe’s 2024 carbon footprint report highlights its commitment to sustainability through key initiatives, including the procurement of low-carbon electricity sources, the Recycle Glass service, the ISO 50001 certification of its operations and pioneering projects such as Volta. The impact of these initiatives is also reflected in the gradual improvement of the total quantities of CO2 emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) generated due to AGC Glass Europe’s activities, calculated relative to the melted tonnes.
