SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Ecological footprint of the FRAISA Group1 10,728 t CO2e / year ANNUAL REPORT 2025 / 2026 I SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable action Life Cycle Assessment, Packaging, and Reporting The financial year 24/25 established a foundation for future life cycle assessments across the Group by aligning with the latest standards and industry developments. Now, data collection and calculation can be further refined based on this foundation. Following updates to the assessment databases, our ecological footprint for calendar year 2025 stands at 10,728 tons of CO₂ equivalents. Compared to the figure for the 2024 calendar year (on an identical database baseline), this represents a slight increase of 6%, which is attributable to higher investment activity. The capital goods segment, therefore, now accounts for 30% of the footprint. The other categories saw only minor shifts. 8.1% of the total emissions are direct emissions from Scope 1. These are caused mainly by fossil fuels as well as combustibles and, to a smaller extent, by refrigerants. Scope 2 emissions from energy consumption at our sites still account for 1.1%, with energy supply within Scope 3 adding another 1% of total emissions. The low share of Scope 1 and, in particular, Scope 2 emissions reflects measures taken in recent years in the area of mobility, along with the use of renewable energy sources such as district heating, biogas, solar power, wind energy, and hydropower. Wherever possible, FRAISA sources certified green electricity and generates its own solar power at two sites — at least 99.6% of our electricity needs come from sustainable sources. The remainder is currently reported as market mix of the respective countries for organizational reasons and lies outside FRAISA's sphere of influence. From the group footprint, FRAISA derives the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for its tools. This makes it possible to identify emissions hotspots along the value chain, review material choices, and further strengthen our commitment to climate protection and resource conservation. For the PCF calculation, FRAISA follows the industry-specific standard “Method for Calculating the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for Precision Tools” issued by VDMA, which applies a “Cradle-to-Gate” approach (Scopes 1, 2, and upstream 3). The FRAISA Group prepares a comprehensive life cycle assessment every year that covers all of its sites and processes. The goal is to identify areas where action can be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Following a clear decarbonization roadmap, FRAISA's long-term ambition is to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to net zero by 2050 and to significantly cut indirect Scope 3 emissions through targeted measures. Sustainable initiatives – Focus on packaging In addition to reducing and measuring our greenhouse gas emissions, we are advancing concrete sustain- ability measures in other areas as well. For our service offer FRAISA ReTool®, packaging sleeves have already been gradually converted to 100% recycled material. Building on this experience, we are now also switching to recycled-material packaging for our new tools. This helps conserve valuable environmental resources and supports our customers in meeting their own sustainability goals. Our aim is to convert 100% of our packaging to sustainable recycled material in order to cut CO₂ emissions and preserve resources. To date, we have converted 87% of new-tool packaging. This translates into savings of around 10 tons of CO₂ and a reduction of 45.7% compared with the previous packaging materials. Ecological, economic, and social principles form the foundation of our entrepreneurial actions — today and in the future. Initiatives like this one show that meaningful sustainability gains can be achieved well beyond the direct production process. 1 B ased on data from the calendar year 2025 (Reporting period for life cycle assessment) Documentation and reporting Over the past year, we made targeted improvements to our sustainability documentation and underlying data. In doing so, FRAISA is positioning itself to best meet current and future regulatory requirements across all markets and to strengthen its reporting overall. We also communicated the Code of Conduct broadly and took a deeper look at our supply chain in order to identify requirements early and further improve traceability.
