Commitment to the Net-Zero Standard
Deceuninck’s commitment to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions is ambitious, science-based, and global.
Deceuninck North America, along with its global entity, the Deceuninck Group, has set ambitious goals to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with its ultimate goal of achieving the Net-Zero Standard by 2050.
Globally, Deceuninck commits to reducing CO2 emissions 60% by 2030. Factoring in the anticipated growth, this equates to a CO2 reduction of up to 75% for each ton of material produced.
Deceuninck North America will reduce emissions by using green electricity, maximizing on-site renewable electricity production, sourcing renewable energy certificates, and shifting toward purchase power agreements.

“At Deceuninck North America, we are shaping the future by driving innovation that reduces our carbon footprint and advances sustainability across the industry. By working side-by-side with our customers and partners, I am confident we will not only meet but exceed our goals and set a new standard for what’s possible.”
Deceuninck will also focus on process improvements such as phasing out the use of fuel oil, increasing measurement and monitoring, avoiding compressed air leakages, and relighting, reinsulating, and replacing machinery in its facilities.
Plus, Deceuninck will reduce indirect emissions by working with key suppliers to source lower carbon-intensive PVC resin, increasing recycling activities, incorporating more recycled content into its products, and reducing reliance on virgin raw materials.
