Adaptation and Mitigation
Adaptation and mitigation are two different strategies for tackling climate change and its consequences.
Mitigation
Mitigation attempts to contain the causes of climate change. Measures are taken to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, e.g. by switching to renewable energies.
Adaptation
The adaptation strategy is based on the climatic changes that have already occurred and aims to adapt to their (negative) consequences.
At uvex
The uvex group has a clear hierarchy of objectives for achieving its climate protection targets, with the top priority being the avoidance of greenhouse gases. The continuous reduction of energy consumption and the use of green electricity from 100% renewable energy sources contribute to the mitigation strategy, as well as the investment in our own PV systems at various locations. Further information can be found in our brochure.
