Reducing emissions
We strive to balance the wellbeing of both people and the planet, as we work to reduce the climate impact of everything we do.
Cutting on our carbon footprint
We’re working to minimise our climate impact – from the way we source raw materials for our products, to how our products and packaging are disposed of after they’ve been used.
By carefully mapping our emissions, we’ve identified the steps we can take to make the biggest difference. This includes phasing out natural gas, converting to electric vehicles, limiting business travel and air freight, and encouraging our suppliers to reduce their emissions.
This is how we plan to reduce our emissions. Watch the video below to find out more about our emission reduction journey:

Renewable energy projects across our sites
Power Purchase Agreement in Denmark
From October 2023, we have benefitted from the renewable energy coming from the solar park in Denmark which was constructed as a result of the PPA.
Geothermal heat in Nyírbátor
A new geothermal heat pump, installed in 2025, will replace natural gas heating in Nyírbátor and increase Coloplast’s renewable energy usage. This benefits both the environment and helps reduce the monthly heating costs for buildings.
Solar panels in Minneapolis
At our site in Minneapolis, US, part of the renewable energy we use is produced by solar panels on the roof.
