Paving the way to carbon neutrality with GASAG
Capgemini's Net Zero strategy and sustainability services are already being successfully deployed for several major clients, including GASAG, one of Germany's largest energy suppliers. Working with Capgemini Invent, GASAG took the first step towards the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045by validating neutrality targets, identifying fields of action, and developing a CO₂ Savings Roadmap.

GASAG has created transparency for its company-wide CO₂ emissions and is now able to identify actions to reduce them effectively, with a total potential reduction of approximately 2.5 million tons of CO₂.

"Sustainability is our compass. We are aware that many of our current business models are limited, but great entrepreneurial opportunities will arise on the path to climate neutrality. With our expertise and our passion, we can make relevant contributions to a successful energy transition. Capgemini Invent has accompanied us on this journey to a successful CO₂ Savings Roadmap," said Georg Friedrichs, Chairman of the Board, GASAG AG.
