Paris Agreement

An agreement adopted in 2015 at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. For the first time in history, the United Nations has committed to fight climate change and develop concrete steps to implement the national climate contribution.

At uvex

At uvex, we are very aware of our contribution in achieving this goal, which is why we have been sourcing almost 100% of our electricity from green energy sources since 2014 and rely on solar energy (for example at our site in Burgfarrnbach). We have also optimised our production processes to minimise our material and energy consumption.
