SBTi

The Sikla Group is clearly committed to climate protection and is currently working intensively on validating its climate targets as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The Science Based Targets initiative is a globally recognized framework that helps companies define their emission reduction targets in line with the latest scientific findings on climate change. The goal is to limit global warming to well below 2°C—ideally to 1.5°C.

We are currently in the process of developing and submitting our targets to the initiative. This step is part of our comprehensive sustainability strategy and a clear commitment to a climate-friendly future.

We will keep you up to date and communicate our progress transparently.

Environmental actions

Newspaper Forest Campaign 2024

Sikla actively supported this campaign as a way to make a local contribution to climate protection. It was carried out in the district of Waldshut under the motto “Together for the Black Forest.” A total of 30,000 trees were planted.

In April 2024, we were able to participate in the tree planting campaign in Ühlingen-Birkendorf. Sikla contributed 850 trees, symbolizing the 850 employees in our group of companies. Ten hard-working employees were there on site.

“Cycle to Work” campaign

Since 2024, we have been participating annually in the AOK “Cycle to Work” campaign. This enabled us to save an impressive 550 kg of CO2 in 2024.

Energy Scouts training

Our young talents are given the opportunity to participate in the IHK-certified “Energy Scouts” training program. The aim is to introduce trainees to the topic of sustainability.

Introduction of waste compactors

Thanks to the initiative of one of our employees, we have purchased a waste compactor that compresses industrial waste into a smaller volume. This means that more waste can be transported in a single truckload, which reduces the frequency of trips and unnecessary transport of air.

Wildflower meadow

Some Young Talents took the initiative and created a flower meadow at our site in Schwenningen. It is maintained by our Young Talents and promotes insect diversity in the region.
