STARK Group's civil engineering specialist Muffenrohr Tiefbauhandel to become climate-neutral in scope 1 and 2 by 2030

In 2021, Muffenrohr reported a 24% reduction in CO2 emissions from the purchase of renewable electricity certificates – a significant step towards the Group’s 2030 interim target of a 42% from own operations. On the path to becoming climate neutral in scope 1 and 2, Muffenrohr will convert all industrial trucks to fully electric, and by 2030 all company cars and delivery- and transport logistics will be electric. Further, an inventory of the heating systems at the 46 Muffenrohr locations is currently being carried out. The goal is to gradually convert to climate-friendly heating systems.
CEO of STARK Deutschland, Michael Knüppel says
"As a leading supplier of building materials, we have a particularly sustainable and, above all, social responsibility. After signing our membership with Madaster, an initiative to promote the circular economy, we are happy to take the next logical step with Muffenrohr Tiefbauhandel - with a pragmatic, customer-oriented and, above all, directly tangible approach."
To make the path to a climate-neutral future as efficient as possible, Muffenrohr has sought support from the renowned environmental agency Envista GmbH. Together, they have developed strategies and a concrete action plan to promote sustainable development of the company over the next eight years.
As one of the most recognised environmental agencies, Envistra specialises in recording and optimising the CO2 balance of companies.
