In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology amounted to 19,301 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology decreased by 3.52%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology were 3,226 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 17.3%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 1 emissions increased by 9.32%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,277 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 16,075 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2021, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 10.64%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported 1,211,340 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology includes a breakdown across 10 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,211,340 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 8.42% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 91.58% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2021, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 14,397.69%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported emissions for 10 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3,226 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 999 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3.23 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3.23 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 4.48, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology ranked 7 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology reported a total carbon footprint of 1,230,641 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 1.97% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.43% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 1.31%.a
