CECONOMY AG (CECONOMY), Europe's leading consumer electronics company, has received an outstanding climate rating for the year 2024 from the non-profit sustainability organization Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). With a grade of "A-", CECONOMY has not only enhanced its position again compared to the previous year (B) but has also improved for the third year in a row (from B-, to B and A-). CDP is an international organization that has set itself the goal of supporting companies in combating climate change and promoting sustainable business practices. The CDP climate rating is based on a comprehensive analysis of the climate protection measures of companies worldwide.

With a grade of A- in the climate questionnaire, CECONOMY is almost at the top of the assessment group of over 22,000 companies worldwide in this category for the first time this year. CECONOMY is therefore one of the companies that have achieved the best possible category "Leadership". According to CDP, the top category is characterized by high-quality and comprehensive data that provides a complete overview of environmental impacts and transformation strategies.

The CDP climate protection rating assesses companies based on the emissions they release into the environment. CECONOMY has set itself the goal of reducing its direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scope 2) by a total of 58.8 per cent by the end of the 2032/33 financial year. In addition, the Group aims to reduce the emissions generated along its value chain (Scope 3) by 32.5% in certain areas, based on the 2021/22 figures. These areas include transportation (Scope 3.4), purchased goods (Scope 3.1) and the use of products sold (Scope 3.11).
