Fagron endorses all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations in 2015. We have selected five SDGs to focus our efforts on.
Progress on all ESG targets can be found at www.fagron.com/ESG.



Low impact on Benefits to the Environment Our People

Responsibility in Supply Chain

Giving back

Good Governance
At Fagron, we continuously try to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment. We actively reduce our impact by setting ambitious targets on the environmental topics that are material for Fagron. We actively work on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.
Environmental, Social, and Governance topics are becoming increasingly important for Fagron. This includes topics such as carbon footprint, human rights, and waste management. Fagron has strong ambitions regarding climate change impact reduction (carbon footprint reduction). The aim is to reduce the carbon intensity by approximately 30% between 2019 and 2025 (a 5% reduction per year). In August 2019, Fagron concluded a new credit facility where the interest level is linked to Fagron's sustainability objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Annual global KPIs (compared to 2019), effective from 1 January 2020, are:
This document describes the carbon footprint calculations (greenhouse gas emissions inventory) carried out by Fagron for the year 2021.
The carbon footprint of 2019 is the reference year for all carbon footprint reports until 2026.
Fagron reports, over the carbon footprint of the Fagron Group companies, in accordance with operational control. We only include companies in the carbon footprint if they have been part of the Fagron Group the entire year. For example, we acquired our facility in Mexico in 2019, so we include the carbon footprint and the turnover for the first time in the 2020 carbon footprint.
Appendix A gives an overview of the companies in the Restricted Group per year.
We include all greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 and the greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 3 related to business travel. For Scope 3 Business Travel, we consider only air travel and car travel. Other types of business travel such as the use of a rental car during business trips and use of public transportation (e.g. train, bus) are not included in the calculation since they are not material compared to Air and Car travel.
The table below gives an overview of the topics included in the Fagron Carbon Footprint. For all topics, we include all greenhouse gas emissions.
| Scope | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Scope 2 | Scope 3 | ||
| Energy use | facilities | Fuel use in owned/leased Purchased electricity and -- heating used in owned/leased facilities 1 |
||
| Refrigerants | Fugitive emissions from refrigerants in owned/leased facilities |
- | ||
| Business travel - car | Fuel use in owned/leased cars |
Electricity use in owned/leased cars |
Business travel by employee-owned cars 2 3 |
|
| Business travel - air | - | Business travel by plane |
1 Purchased electricity minus electricity used on-site for charging of electric/hybrid-cars.
3 Excluding business travel paid for via a mobility budget.
² Car use paid for by Fagron through reimbursement of fuel use or reimbursement per kilometer/mile.
Business travel by Air includes all greenhouse gas emissions due to business travel by plane. This topic falls under scope 3. We determine the activity data based on reported flights. Flights have been reported by the Fagron group's companies as individual flights by one person on a specific date (e.g., Employee 1 flew on 12 February 2020 from Amsterdam/AMS to New York/JFK). We have determined all flight distances by calculating the distance between the location of the two airports.
We book all single intercontinental flights in business class. All other flights conventionally occur in economy class unless an unexpected upgrade has occurred. We do not monitor the latter.
Business travel by Car includes all greenhouse gas emissions due to travel by car for business purposes. Business travel by Car includes:
kilometer or mile compensation) or the exact fuel use, if this is declared via a receipt or a fuel card, is used by the employee paid for by Fagron.
Fagron employees use lease cars both for business travel and for commuting to/from work. We do not distinguish between these two and include all lease car use under scope 1 (fuel use) or scope 2 (electricity use). In some cases, employees may use a fuel card when they are in between lease cars. We do not monitor this, and we assume that all fuel use via a fuel card given to an employee for use with a lease car is used for that purpose.
Some employees receive a budget for mobility4, including business travel and commuting to/from work. The employee is free to determine the preferred mobility option, which means neither the mode of transport nor the distance traveled is known. Therefore, the scope 3 business travel by car or business travel by public transportation does not include the budget for mobility. Also excluded from this category is car travel from (long-term) consultants that Fagron indirectly pays for via the consultancy fee.
Most car travel occurs within the country in which the car is leased. In the case of electricity use (for an electric or hybrid car), we assume that all charging occurs in the country where the car is leased or owned (for locationbased reporting) and at the facility where the employee is employed (for market-based reporting). Not all electricity use for our plug-in hybrid/full-electric cars that occurred in 2021 has been billed yet. In some cases, the electricity use is only billed per quarter. In this case an estimate has been made.
4 This includes approximately 30 people in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Energy use includes all greenhouse gas emissions due to energy use in the facilities we own or lease. Energy use includes:
We do not include facilities that we lease but sub-lease in the carbon footprint. That means that any fuel or electricity used in such a facility is not included.
Not all energy use that occurred in 2021 has been billed yet. In this case, an estimate has been made of the energy use for these months.
Refrigerants include all greenhouse gas emissions due to leakage of refrigerants in the facilities that we lease or own. Facilities that we lease but sub-lease to another tenant are not included in the carbon footprint. That means that any refrigerant used in such a facility is not included.
We determine leakage of refrigerants by the addition of refrigerants during maintenance of refrigerators, cooling, and air conditioning installations.
We calculate our greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.5 In addition to the location-based methodology results, we have added for the first time the market-based methodology for Scope 2.
We calculate greenhouse gas emissions by multiplying activity data such as liters of diesel use with their respective emission factor. Different sources have been used to determine the emission factors (in kg CO2-eq) of the various energy carriers, electricity sources, refrigerants, and business travel modalities. All emission factors used can be found in Appendix B.
Part of Fagron's strategy is to acquire new companies to integrate into the Fagron Group. We, therefore, calculate greenhouse gas emission intensity by dividing the total greenhouse gas emissions (location-based) in metric tons CO2-eq by the Group turnover in million €. For the greenhouse gas emission intensity calculation after 2019, we normalize the turnover with the average 2019 exchange rate to counteract any positive or negative impact of fluctuating exchange rates of, e.g., Brazilian Real to Euro.
GHG emission intensity GHG emissions in metric ton CO2 — eq million € turnover (2019 exchange rate)
To determine the total energy use for the Fagron Group, we consider the energy consumption within the facilities in scope (electricity and fuel used for heating, cooling, steam) as well as energy consumption in the cars owned and leased (electricity use, diesel, and petrol use). We use conversion factors from Rijksdienst van Ondernemend Nederland and DEFRA (UK). An overview can be found in Appendix C.
We calculate the annual energy intensity by dividing the total energy use by the Group turnover in million €. For the energy use intensity after 2019, we normalize the turnover with the average 2019 exchange rate.

All companies within scope with a carbon footprint of 50 metric ton CO2-eq or more per year report their data every month via the bookkeeping system that Fagron uses. They also submit a background excel file. All integrated companies with a carbon footprint below 50 metric ton CO2-eq per year report quarterly.
All data submitted is checked for consistency at least quarterly by the Global ESG officer by:
Fagron is a company with a Buy & Build strategy. This means that significant acquisitions are conducted each year. Last year we had defined that we would recalculate the carbon footprint and energy use when a threshold of 10% carbon footprint increase due to acquisitions has been surpassed. We estimate that if we recalculate our 2019 base year emissions now by correcting for acquisitions in 2019 and 2020, the absolute increase would be approximately 10%.
After careful consideration, we have concluded that recalculating leads to a large monitoring burden especially the closer we get to 2025. Not recalculating leads to underestimating emissions in the base year and therefore makes achieving our carbon footprint targets more challenging. Our new recalculation policy is only to recalculate if the total emissions of divestments surpass the emissions of acquired companies.
In addition, we recalculate the carbon footprint when changes in emission factors or significant changes in activity data occur. This 2021 carbon footprint is largely based on locationbased emissions factors for electricity use from 2020, because 2021 emission factors have not been published yet. Recalculation occurs once for publication in the annual report one year after the first publication. This means that the 2021 carbon footprint will be restated for the 2022 annual report, the first half of 2023.
All greenhouse gas emissions are given in CO2eq. There were no biogenic emissions in Scope 1 and 3.
The location-based emissions are lower than the market-based emissions for electricity use (Scope 2). This is due to the fact that for a large number of locations, there is no emission factor available from the electricity supplier. In line with the Greenhouse Protocol, residual market-mix emission factors have been selected. These factors are generally higher than location-based emission factors for electricity.
The total turnover in 2021 was 640.6 million € with the average 2019 exchange rate for all currencies other than Euro. The greenhouse gas emission intensity is shown in the table below.

Total energy use is shown in the table below. There was no fuel consumption from renewable sources in 2021.
Total electricity use in our facilities in 2021 was 26 696 854 kWh. Of this 8.9% was from renewable electricity, either purchased or produced with solar panels on our facilities.
The total turnover in 2021 was 640.6 million € with the average 2019 exchange rate for all currencies other than Euro. That makes for a total energy intensity of 231.1 GJ per million € turnover.

The change in carbon footprint is shown in the table below. The increase in emissions from fuel use and electricity use is largely due to the acquisition of additional companies. A total of 16 additional facilities were included in the 2021 carbon footprint that were acquired in 2019 or 2020. The increase in emissions from purchased electricity for use in our lease cars is a testament to the effort that we are putting into electrifying our car fleet.
Reduction in business travel emissions from car use (Scope 1 and Scope 3) and air travel (Scope 3) is largely due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, but also the electrification of our car fleet is starting to pay off.
