MAHLE’s Leadership in Climate Protection

CDP evaluates companies based on their ability to address climate challenges. Businesses that receive an “A” rating show deep understanding of climate risks and actively implement strategies to reduce environmental impact. Compared to 2019, MAHLE has cut CO₂ emissions from energy consumption (Scope 1 and 2) by 47%. It also lowered emissions from its supply chain and product usage (Scope 3) by 17%.

How MAHLE Advances Climate Protection

MAHLE said it has integrated advanced technologies to optimize energy efficiency and streamline internal processes to reduce energy waste. The company said it continues expanding its use of renewable energy while shifting from fossil fuels to electricity. MAHLE also collaborates with suppliers to minimize product emissions. It focuses on recycled and bio-based materials to lower its overall carbon footprint.

“Our great progress in climate protection was made possible by integrating the latest technologies, optimizing internal processes to save energy, using renewable energies, and replacing fossil fuels with electricity,” said Kathrin Apel, Director Corporate Sustainability and Occupational Health, Safety and Environment at MAHLE. “We are also working with our suppliers to continuously reduce emissions from our products. In product design, we focus on the use of more recycled and bio-based materials.”

MAHLE’s Climate Goals for 2030 and Beyond

MAHLE said it has positioned climate protection as a core business objective. It aligns with the Paris Climate Agreement to drive sustainable innovation. The company plans to achieve climate neutrality in its plants by 2040 and aims to cut Scope 3 emissions—stemming from purchased goods, services, and product usage—by 28% by 2030. These targets remain central to MAHLE climate goals, it said. Since 2021, external audits have verified MAHLE’s energy and emissions data, ensuring transparency and accountability in sustainability efforts.
