Environmental impact
Kramp continues to strengthen its sustainability efforts, building on the carbon reduction strategy launched in 2024 and reinforced across the organisation in 2025. Specifically, we have identified three core areas to create impact: reducing carbon emissions in operations and our supply chain, designing circular, low-waste packaging and responsibly managing substances of very high concern. Find out how we are reducing our environmental impact and driving safer, more sustainable solutions for our customers.

Our commitment
Introduced in 2024, our strategy to reduce carbon – encompassing our buildings and transport activities – became more firmly embedded in our organisation in 2025. To take things a step further, we set ourselves clear goals to reduce emissions by 42% by the year 2030 compared to our 2022 operations, as well as a 30% reduction for our supply chain partners over the same period. This is in line with the latest developments in climate science from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi is a renowned global organisation that helps companies establish ambitious, scientifically aligned greenhouse gas reduction targets which are validated by climate experts. In 2025, Kramp signed up with the SBTi to assist us in setting achievable, ambitious emissions reductions targets across the various business units.
Our accomplishments
In 2025, we added CO2 criteria into our carrier contracts. This forms the basis for collecting monthly CO2 emission data from our carriers and discussing ways of reducing emissions together.
We expanded our use of solar energy at two of our sites: in Italy and in Leek in the Netherlands. In transport, on selected routes, we launched pilots using biodiesel, which has the potential to reduce emissions by 80% compared to regular diesel.
With respect to our lease car fleet, we made progress on the electrification of our leased vehicles, with Norway becoming the first facility to achieve a fully electric leased fleet.
All efforts have resulted in a 10.22% reduction of our Scope 1 & 2 emissions, compared to 2024, which is well above our target of 5.25% annually until 2030. This forms part of our broader goal of achieving a 42% total reduction in emissions by 2030.
I see this as a chance to make our buildings greener, our mobility smarter, and our people more aware of their impact.”
Jan Willem Nijman, Facilities & Real Estate Manager: “Reducing the carbon footprint of Kramp’s operations, lease cars and travel isn’t just good for the planet, it’s smart business. By cutting emissions, we save energy, lower costs and drive efficiency. It also shows our customers, suppliers and colleagues that we truly walk the talk on sustainability. I see this as a chance to make our buildings greener, our mobility smarter, and our people more aware of their impact. Small steps, and sometimes fewer trips, can lead to big change. Together, we can make sustainability part of how Kramp moves forward.”
Display over the years
Emissions and Reduction
The above table shows our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions for each year, compared to our annual reduction target. It highlights that in 2025 our actual emissions fell much faster than planned, resulting in a significantly larger reduction in emissions since 2022.
Our plans
In 2026, we aim to continue our decarbonisation journey through optimising our facilities and buildings, lease vehicles, transport and logistics, and packaging. We also plan to expand our emissions tracking to include our product portfolio and the lifecycle emissions of our products. This will assist us in setting our emissions targets in line with the SBTi.
Sustainable packaging design supports circular economy principles
Our commitment
Through efficient design and use of sustainable materials, we are committed to creating eco-friendly packaging that reduces material usage and minimises waste.
All our packaging decisions are guided by circular economy principles, which aim to re-use and recycle products, materials and resources, and to reduce waste.
Our accomplishments
In 2025, we began updating and simplifying our packaging range to prepare for the new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a European law designed to reduce packaging waste and make packaging more sustainable.
We also worked closely with our suppliers to better understand how sustainable our packaging materials are, by requesting detailed information on the materials they use.
Additionally in 2025, we set out to use FSC-certified cardboard in our packaging where possible. FSC-certified materials come from responsibly managed forests.
For our private label products not displayed at dealerships, we started switching to more sustainable packaging made from plain, unprinted cardboard.
As a result of our actions in 2025, 72% of the packaging that we use in our warehouses is already sustainably sourced, with 63% using recycled materials.
We have a responsibility to use our resources wisely.”
Ellen Oude Luttikhuis, Packaging Engineer: “While packaging plays a vital role in protecting products during storage and transportation to our customers, it also consumes scarce resources for a relatively short life cycle, often ending up as waste. Sustainability is therefore indispensable in our packaging roadmap. We have a responsibility to use our resources wisely – and, where possible, to reduce material consumption and minimise empty space in our packaging, choose recycled and renewable materials, and re-use packaging – without compromising our warehouse processes, product quality or the customer experience. Beyond preparing us for future sustainability regulations, our sustainable packaging roadmap helps us to reduce our environmental impact, conserve natural resources and minimise waste, to contribute to preserving our planet for future generations.”
