The Carbon Footprint of TENTE – What’s Behind It?
Every castor, every wheel – each of our products has a story to tell. And part of that story is its carbon footprint, meaning the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated during manufacturing, energy use, and both upstream and downstream processes. To better understand and strategically reduce these emissions, they are categorised into three so-called Scopes. This classification helps to clarify responsibilities and enables targeted climate protection measures:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from own operations (e.g. gas, diesel, production)
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy (e.g. electricity, long-distance heating)
- Scope 3: Other indirect emissions (e.g. raw materials, logistics, etc.)
Scope 3 Calculation – Now Product-Specific
An increasing number of our customers need a detailed documentation of their climate impact. TENTE now offers advanced Scope 3 calculations at product level, giving you precise insights into your product’s carbon footprint right from the start of the value chain. These calculations focus on identifying and quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a product.
Using EcoChain Mobius and the internationally recognised EcoInvent database, we calculate high-precision carbon footprints based on the cradle-to-gate approach. This means we analyse the full carbon impact of a product – from raw material extraction to the point when it leaves the factory.
Our Scope 3 calculations include:
- Raw material extraction
- Material production
- Processing
- Manufacturing
- Assembly
Each calculation is based on the specific type and quantity of materials used – ensuring a robust and transparent carbon footprint report.
Your Benefit – Why Scope 3 Data Matters to You
Sustainability requirements are rising – driven by ESG regulations, legal reporting obligations, and customer expectations. Our product-specific carbon calculations help you meet these demands effectively.
You benefit from:
- Reliable carbon data for each product component
- A solid foundation for sustainability and ESG reports
- Support with tenders that include environmental criteria
- Greater transparency across your supply chain
- A strong data base for your own climate targets and actions
Our data not only offers valuable insights – it enables real action. Turning the carbon footprint from a risk into an opportunity.
How TENTE Advances Climate Action Through Transparency
TENTE’s transparent emissions analysis enables us to develop targeted measures to improve environmental performance and take responsibility for a sustainable future. Capturing and reducing the carbon footprint is a key step for TENTE to understand and shape the environmental impact of our value chain in a sustainable way.
From raw material extraction to production and logistics – every process contributes to the overall footprint.
Sustainable Solutions – Put into Practice
Our products actively contribute to environmental and resource protection – through carbon reduction, durable materials, reduced noise, and optimised manufacturing processes. We rely on high-quality raw materials and technically advanced, eco-friendly designs.
