Schreiner Group Emphasizes Global Responsibility

Schreiner Group pursues ambitious climate goals, and permits being judged by them. By submitting scientifically founded emission targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) the high-tech company has achieved an important milestone on its journey toward climate neutrality. Supported by international standards such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Schreiner Group affirms its long-term commitment to sustainable management. 

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) supports companies worldwide in establishing their targets for reducing and achieving emissions according to the Paris Climate Agreement.

In spring 2025, Schreiner Group submitted its climate protection goals there. By 2030, CO2 emissions according to Scope 1 and Scope 2 compared to the base year of 2022 are supposed to be reduced by 80 percent.

In the long run, the family-owned company is even striving to achieve full climate neutrality/net zero by 2045. These goals were officially reviewed and approved by SBTi. They are ambitious and challenge the company on many levels.

Accordingly, the progress achieved so far is particularly remarkable: Since 2012, Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions have been reduced by as much as 90 percent. External assessments such as a CDP-awarded B Rating show that Schreiner Group with its actions is operating at an above-average level as well.

In addition to participating in SBTi, Schreiner Group is actively involved in other international sustainability initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) promoting the transparency of environmental data.

“By participating in international initiatives, we create comparability and transparency. As a result, we can objectively demonstrate our sustainability, climate, and environmental protection efforts and improve them ourselves,” said Dr. Thomas Gulden, Schreiner Group’s sustainability officer. The high-tech company ranks among the top four businesses in the printing industry worldwide in terms of sustainability.  

Acting in the spirit of sustainability and assuming social responsibility have been firmly anchored in Schreiner Group’s corporate strategy for decades—from responsible supply chain management to energy-efficient production processes to resource-conserving management.

“We see ourselves as being responsible for thinking above and beyond statutory requirements and making a measurable contribution to sustainability—hoping to be able to inspire other companies in that way as well,” CEO Roland Schreiner said.
