Strategy & Targets
Belimo is committed to creating healthier, more comfortable indoor environments while reducing energy use. Its sustainability strategy and targets are key drivers in advancing this mission.
Climate Strategy & Targets
Climate change is a global challenge that affects everyone. Belimo contributes to climate action by limiting GHG emissions from building HVAC systems through its energy-efficient field devices — supporting the goal of keeping global warming below 1.5°C. This commitment places Belimo’s comprehensive climate strategy at the core of its broader sustainability approach.
Belimo's climate strategy outlines the principles and guidelines that it follows to reduce its environmental footprint and support global climate mitigation efforts. It includes defined targets, actions, indicators and reporting mechanisms to track and communicate performance on climate-related issues.
The climate strategy is built on three pillars:
Pillar A "Our" value chain impacts
Belimo annually discloses a comprehensive Scope 1-3 balance in accordance with the GHG Protocol:
In tCO2e | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 restated1) | 2022 restated1) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scope 1 | 542 | 610 | 525 | 606 | ||||
Scope 2 market-based | 1 414 | 1 720 | 1 735 | 1 721 | ||||
Scope 3 | 660 206 | 624 660 | 572 148 | 694 204 |
1) With the extension of the reporting scope to all Production and Logistics/Customization sites in 2024, the preceding year's figures have been restated accordingly.
In 2025, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated the Belimo near-term and net zero targets. The validation by the SBTi confirms that Belimo’s decarbonization trajectory aligns with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C mitigation pathway, underscoring both the credibility and ambition of its climate targets.
Following a comprehensive assessment, the SBTi has validated the following targets:
Near-term targets
- Belimo commits to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a 2022 baseline.
- Belimo also commits to reducing Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 51.6% per product sold by 2030 from a 2022 baseline.
Net-zero targets
- Belimo commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050, using 2022 as the base year.
- Belimo also commits to reducing Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 97% per product sold by 2050, relative to a 2022 baseline.
Throughout the reporting year, Belimo prioritized the development of its decarbonization pathways and the modeling of future emissions. Its climate transition plan outlines key emission reduction measures for the coming years, including reducing energy consumption during the product use-phase (particularly standby energy), engaging suppliers to lower GHG emissions, sourcing lower-carbon materials, and optimizing the transport network to reduce shipping emissions while maintaining short lead times.

Pillar B "Our" value chain benefits
Belimo demonstrates the benefits of its RetroFIT+ projects by calculating and presenting annual energy, carbon and cost savings for selected Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) projects.
The Company is developing both Type II Environmental Declarations (Manufacturer Self Declarations) and Type III Environmental Declarations (Environmental Product Declarations) which provide detailed information on the environmental aspects of its products.
Additionally, Belimo is further developing its methodology for reporting on avoided emissions, building on its existing framework.

Pillar C Beyond "our" value chain
Belimo contributes positively to the environment and society beyond its core business by providing project and financial support via the independent Belimo Climate Foundation (BCF). The BCF drives GHG emission reduction through building optimization initiatives.
Belimo provides annual funding to the BCF based on its carbon footprint from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 Category 6 (Business Travel), applying an internal carbon price initially set at CHF 200 per ton of CO2e.
