Decarbonizing our business

We are exploring the best way to decarbonize our business given the context we are in.

Accelleron is committed to act against climate change and similarly committed to using natural resources such as water and other raw materials more efficiently.

Following paths help us meeting our commitments to more sustainability in our own operations:

Climate action

Science based targets

Science based near-term climate targets, validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi)

Scope 1 and scope 2: - 50% by 2030 vs 2023

Scope 3: - 25% by 2030 vs 2023

Reducing our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by:

Biofuels use in the test centre

Electrifying our vehicle fleets where possible

Using low-carbon electricity

Installing solar panels wherever practicable and permissible

Reducing our scope 3 emissions by:

Working with our supply chain on reliable emission data and reductions

 Increasing the share of recycled material used in production

 Reducing the use of air transport in our upstream and downstream value chains

Energy:

After a pilot project in 2023 with ten sites, we expanded in 2024 the energy assessment to all our sites where we have operations. Our target is “3% reduction in “bought electricity/revenues” by 2030 vs. 2024”.

Waste:

98% of Accelleron’s turbochargers are composed of recyclable materials, mainly steel and other metals. We are focused on increasing the share of non-hazardous recycled materials to strengthen our efficient use of resources. 

Water:

50% of Accelleron’s sites are in water-scarce areas. At these sites, we consider it essential to use water more efficiently. As our operations require water to clean and complete turbocharger service work, we are working toward using more closed-loop systems and, where possible, alternative solutions. In 2024, we assessed water usage in the service network and defined guidance for improving the main industrial processes that use water. We hierarchized the use of water in 4 maturity levels. We broke water usage down into a four-tier hierarchy. Level 1 is defined as no water reuse, followed by level 2 (water reuse), level 3 (semi-automated water use) and level 4 (fully automated water use). Our Water efficiency target is: Move from level 1 (single usage of water) in water efficiency to a higher maturity level by end of 2026, within the Service division (Fuel Injection division and manufacturing sites are excluded from the target as their industrial water usage is based on a closed loop system, which equates to level 2 or higher.)

“A planet worth living on,” Dominik Schneiter – Accelerating to Net Zero, Episode 3

Dominik Schneiter is CEO of WinGD, President of the CIMAC Congress, and President of the Swissmem Combustion Engine sector. In episode 3 of the Accelerating to Net Zero series, he explains why efficiency measures remain underimplemented in shipping, why newbuilds must be designed today with retrofits in mind for tomorrow’s fuels. why green premiums don’t flow all the way upstream in the value chain, and the need for cross-sector collaboration at a global level to create a planet worth living on.
