At F. ENGEL, we have prepared a climate report outlining F. ENGEL’s total CO₂e emissions for the financial year from 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2025. F. ENGEL has been responsible for data collection, while a recognised external consultancy has carried out the calculations, quality assurance and preparation of the report. The climate report has been prepared in accordance with the GHG Protocol, an internationally recognised framework for the accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. The inventory follows the operational control principle, meaning that all activities under F. ENGEL’s operational control are included.

According to the GHG Protocol, greenhouse gas emissions are divided into three scopes:

The climate accounts include Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as well as nine categories within Scope 3 related to activities in Denmark and Lithuania, including all associated activities.

What are the results of the report?

Total CO₂e emissions for the financial year from 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2025 amounted to 29,833 tonnes of CO₂e.

The emissions are distributed as follows:

  • Scope 1 accounts for 2% of total emissions and primarily originates from the use of owned and leased vehicles, as well as the combustion of natural gas in Denmark and diesel and heating oil in Lithuania.
  • Scope 2 accounts for 0.1% of total emissions. The inventory is based on the location-based method and includes physically supplied electricity.
  • Scope 3 accounts for 98% of total emissions. The largest share of scope 3 emissions is linked to the procurement of materials for F. ENGEL’s three brands: ENGEL, SUNWILL and DEERHUNTER.
  • For ENGEL polyester, cotton and recycled polyester account for the majority of CO₂e emissions.
  • For SUNWILL the main contributors are wool, polyester and cotton.
  • For DEERHUNTER the primary contributors are polyester, wool and nylon.

Reduction potentials

Scope 1:

  • By transitioning to electric cars and vans, F. ENGEL can achieve a 47% reduction in Scope 1 emissions.
  • By replacing heating oil, diesel and natural gas with electric heating sources and/or district heating, F. ENGEL can reduce its Scope 1 emissions by 53%.
  • A combination of the above initiatives could potentially result in a total reduction of Scope 1 emissions up to 100%.

Scope 2:

  • Part of the reduction achieved in Scope 1 would shift to Scope 2 due to increased electricity and district heating consumption. If F. ENGEL’s electricity consumption is supplemented with renewable energy sources, these emissions can be eliminated.

Scope 3:

  • By increasing the share of recycled materials, F. ENGEL can reduce its overall CO₂e emissions. The greatest potential lies in increasing the use of recycled polyester, as this material represents a significant share of the product assortment across all three brands.
  • Cotton is the second most widely used material, and a transition to recycled cotton could therefore contribute to further reductions. Depending on factors such as the LCA tool, methodology, region, energy mix and recycling process, this could result in a reduction of 68–87%.
  • Increasing the use of recycled wool also offers potential for further emission reductions.
