Gerresheimer, an innovative systems and solutions provider for the pharma, biotech, and cosmetics industries, has published its first voluntary separate Non-financial Report for the 2025 financial year, aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The audited report transparently details the Group’s sustainability performance, revealing a 31% reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 CO2e emissions compared to the base year 2019, and an increase in the share of electricity from renewable sources to 54% of total electricity consumption. The lost time incident rate (LTIR) improved by approximately 63%.
Gerresheimer has also raised its CO2e reduction target for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions to -52% by 2030, and for the first time, supplemented it with Scope 3 targets. These targets have been externally validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The company aims by the end of 2029 to have 65% of its suppliers (by spend on goods and services) set science-based climate targets, and by 2034 to reduce emissions intensity relative to operating profit in selected scope 3 categories by 64% compared to the base year 2023.
“Despite a very challenging financial year in 2025, we significantly improved key sustainability metrics and, for the first time, reported on our sustainability performance in alignment with the CSRD,” said Wolf Lehmann, CFO of Gerresheimer AG. “Our goal is to support our customers on their path toward increased sustainability. This includes not only sustainable product options but also transparent reporting.”
Gerresheimer’s sustainability management has been independently assessed by EcoVadis since 2011. In 2025, the company was awarded a Gold rating with a score of 78 out of 100, placing it among the top 4% of all evaluated companies and the top 1% in its industry. Additionally, in the CDP rating, Gerresheimer achieved an “A-” in the climate category and “Leadership” status for the second consecutive year, ranking above both the global average (B) and industry average (C).
