Baseline Emissions Footprint (Brainlab UK)

Baseline Year: 2022

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.
Baseline is 2022, the starting point of detailed and structured CO2 emission calculations at Brainlab.

Baseline year emissions:

Emission reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:

  • Reduce CO2 from business travel

  • Steer choice of company cars towards models with low CO2 emission values

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 100 tCO2e by 2027. This is a reduction of 9%.
