Green buildings are the future

Sustainability is also playing an increasingly important role in buildings – for owners, operators and tenants. Efficient operation lowers energy consumption, reduces costs and protects the climate. In addition, smart building automation increases not only efficiency, but also comfort and safety – for sustainably satisfied users.

We are a reliable partner in planning and implementing connected and integrated solutions from a single source – from intelligent building control technology and presence-dependent room automation to transparent energy data management.

Is CO₂ neutrality in buildings achievable anywhere in the world?

YES.

Bosch proves it every day.

With its more than 400 locations worldwide, the Bosch Group has been carbon neutral overall (scopes 1 & 2) since 2020.

To achieve carbon neutrality, we employ four levers: improving energy efficiency, generating our own energy from renewable sources (new clean power), purchasing electricity from renewable sources (green electricity), and – as a last resort – offsetting residual CO₂ emissions with carbon credits.

Scopes 1, 2, and 3 are used according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
