In the 2019 financial year, Jungheinrich production plants and subsidiaries in Germany jointly consumed approximately 45,600,000 kilowatt hours of electricity. By completely avoiding the use of electricity from fossil fuels such as brown and black coal or natural gas, the company is now reducing its emissions from electricity consumption in Germany to zero. Compared to the conventional energy mix, Jungheinrich is thus reducing its yearly CO 2 emissions by approximately 15,500 tonnes. A compensation area equivalent to more than 1,800 football fields of mixed forest would be required to remove this amount of emitted CO 2 from the atmosphere within one year. Approximately 69% of Jungheinrich's global CO 2 emissions from electricity consumption have previously come from Germany. The nationwide transition to renewable energy sources has allowed the Group to significantly reduce its global environmental footprint as well.
