JENBACH, Austria– April 29, 2024 – INNIO Group has published its Sustainability Report for 2023. Making progress together is the fourth annual non-financial report from INNIO Group.
The report documents INNIO Group's progress since defining its baseline goals in 2020, providing information on sustainability initiatives, projects, and metrics. In 2023, INNIO Group's total greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) decreased by 1.3% or 76,340 metric tons of CO2 equivalents compared to the previous year.
Significant progress also was made in the supply chain, with 80% of the top 200 suppliers committing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.
At the same time, the company continues to work towards creating a diverse and inclusive work environment. The proportion of female employees in INNIO Group increased by almost 4% compared to 2022 and by 7.5% over the last three years, reaching 18.1% at the end of 2023. This highlights INNIO Group's progress in all three defined core areas of sustainability:
