KWS is dedicated to protecting the environment and promoting biodiversity through responsible practices and innovative solutions. By investing in sustainable agriculture, we aim to empower farmers, support local communities, and contribute to global food security while minimizing our ecological footprint.
As a plant breeding company, KWS is part of the agricultural value chain. We mainly require heat for drying seed, and cold and heat for breeding work in greenhouses or climatic chambers, and for operating agricultural machinery. KWS has set itself the goal of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 compared with the baseline year 2020/2021. Our aim is to reduce our emissions to net zero in 2050. These objectives are geared toward meeting the 1.5-degree target defined in the Paris Agreement.
