Ellab's Sustainability Status
At Ellab, we are actively formulating a comprehensive sustainability strategy which will aim to mitigate the climate impact of our operations and products, while fostering diversity in our workplace, and ensuring a responsible supply chain.
As a first and necessary step to tackle environmental management concerns, our production site has held, since 2019, ISO14001 certification, which can be found here. This certification has not only ensured our compliance with environmental regulations but has also facilitated waste reduction and accelerated the improvement of processes related to environmental impact issues.
Ellab has experienced significant growth in recent years, with workforce expanding by 105% since 2020. This growth has been achieved through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions worldwide.
While we take pride in this achievement, it also brings additional emissions that need to be addressed.
Total emissions of Ellab’s activities pr FTE.
As it can be observed on the above chart, our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions account for only 4% of the total emissions, with the remaining 96% attributed to Scope 3 emissions, from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and employee commuting.
At Ellab we believe sustainability is about adapting to win in a constantly and radically changing environment. Over the long term, we aim to adopt a holistic strategy which considers the whole value chain impact.
GHG Emissions
Over the past four years, thanks to a strict energy saving policy and the purchase of renewable energy certificates for all our electricity globally (RECs, GOs, I-RECs, EACs), Ellab has worked to significantly reduce its environmental impact, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Total emission of Ellab’s activities pr FTE has reached a historic low of 13.9 (tCO2e), compared to 17,3 in 2020. This represents an astounding 20% decrease in emissions per employee, despite a 105% increase in the number of employees.

In order to be sure Ellab will achieve its sustainability goals, ambitious objectives throughout our company and among our network of partners have been established, guided by the rigorous criteria set forth by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Ellab has committed to set near-term company-wide emission reduction goals aiming to restrict global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in line with climate science with the SBTi.
Our SBTi commitments:
– 79,6% absolute contraction of Scope 1 & 2 (4% of total GHG emissions) by FY2030 (2020BY);
– 25% absolute contraction of Scope 3 (96% of total GHG emissions) by FY2030 (2020BY).
Ellab is committed to sustainability and is actively working towards reducing our environmental impact, fostering diversity, and ensuring a responsible supply chain. We appreciate the support and patience of our stakeholders as we continue this journey towards a more sustainable future.
