Our decarbonisation journey

Consumers are becoming more aware of their individual contribution to climate change and expect brands to reduce the carbon emissions of their products and wider value chains.  Employees want to work for environmentally responsible companies that are looking to do more to address the climate crisis. Ohly is committed to reducing the carbon impact of its operations and products; it is integral to the way we do business.

Decarbonising operations at our production site in Hamburg, Germany by 2030 (across scopes 1+2)

Having gathered reliable data to measure the scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions of our site in Hamburg, and had them validated by a third party, our technical experts identified carbon reduction activities and started to develop our Hamburg decarbonisation roadmap.

Manufacturing 
We have implemented carbon-saving activities and invested in more efficient manufacturing processes.

• We are installing our first on-site spray dryer at the Hamburg site which will strengthen our supply reliability and allow us to be more energy efficient while reducing transportation miles on our finished products.
• In 2025 we will open a new highly efficient fermentation facility in Hamburg which will improve our thermal energy usage, lower our emissions per product, reduce packaging use and cut relative water consumption.

Utilities
We switched to 100% renewable electricity and are running projects to remove the need for natural gas.

Charging Stations 
We installed e-charging facilities to encourage employees to switch to lower emission transport.

As we continue to develop our decarbonisation strategy and targets further, we will intend to provide greater detail about the other initiatives that will be implemented.
