DAB Group has reached its 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target five years ahead of schedule in 2025. The company announced it reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 62% over a five-year period.
Why it matters
The company is focusing on the operational life of its hardware, specifically targeting Scope 3 emissions which represent 99% of its carbon footprint. Reducing these emissions through product efficiency is necessary to manage the long-term environmental impact of its pumping systems.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell from 8,332 tonnes of CO2e in 2020 to 3,143 tonnes in 2025. Additionally, the company increased its count of H2D connected pumps by 85% year-on-year, reaching 25,200 total units.
The players
DAB Group
An international manufacturer of pumping systems focusing on energy-efficient hardware and real-time hydraulic monitoring.
The details
DAB Group utilizes connected pump technology to monitor and manage hydraulic systems in real-time. These devices identify leaks and mechanical inefficiencies, allowing for active operational adjustments. On the production side, the company integrated photovoltaics—solar panels that convert light into electricity—which now generate 22% of the power used at its production sites.
Timeline
2020: Baseline year for Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction.
2024: Beginning period for Scope 3 emissions reduction calculation.
2025: Emissions reduction target reached.
The Tech Race
DAB Group aligns its internal sustainability benchmarks with the transparency requirements set by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. The company is currently prioritizing product-level energy efficiency to address its largest emissions source, moving beyond internal site improvements.
The adoption of H2D connected pumps allows facility managers to identify leaks and operational failures in real-time. By optimizing these pumping systems, users can decrease water waste, which saw a 14% reduction in total withdrawal by the company last year.
The takeaway
DAB Group demonstrates that integrating real-time monitoring hardware can yield measurable sustainability results across product lifecycles. Industry observers should watch for future reports to see if the company adopts more aggressive Scope 3 reduction goals following this early target achievement.
