Environmental and social responsibility at Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions
We are a family business. That is where our roots are, that is where we come from. That is why we take on our responsibility to take care of our family members, our partners, our customers, the people who use our products and the planet we all share as a home. As part of our global Viessmann family, we all work towards realizing our company purpose:
To co-create living spaces for generations to come
As a manufacturer of refrigeration solutions, we co-create safe environments for sensitive goods, such as food and medicine, and enable operations which help to provide wellbeing for people. With our full life-cycle support we contribute to the sustainable future and preserving of our planet as one Viessmann family.

Our climate targets
As Viessmann Group we set ourselves science-based climate targets. To do so, we used two globally recognized accounting standards - Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the Science Based Targets initiative - to ensure our process is in line with climate science. As a result we found that the carbon footprint of Refrigeration Solutions today is 257,6 kt CO2e.
As announced in our first Viessmann Climate Report we now aim to reduce our own emissions by at least 48% in absolute terms and our indirect emissions up- and downstream by at least 55% (both by 2030 and compared to 2019).
