In 2025, DAB Group reached its 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target by achieving a 62% decrease in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions since 2020. This progress was detailed in the company's first published sustainability report.
Why it matters
DAB Group aims to manage the environmental impact of its pumping systems throughout their entire operational life. By focusing on the life cycle of its equipment, the firm addresses the 99% of its carbon footprint derived from the use of sold products.
DAB Group reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 8,332 tonnes in 2020 to 3,143 tonnes in 2025. Additionally, the company now generates 22% of its production site electricity via photovoltaics while increasing water reuse by 119%.
The players
DAB Group
DAB Group is a global manufacturer specializing in water management and pumping solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications.
The details
The firm utilized a more energy-efficient product portfolio to drive down Scope 3 emissions, which account for nearly the entire company carbon footprint. Its H2D ecosystem of connected pumps, which saw an 85% year-on-year growth to 25,200 units, helps users identify leaks and operational inefficiencies through real-time monitoring.
Timeline
2020 served as the baseline year for calculating Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions.
2024 marked the beginning period for the latest Scope 3 emissions reduction calculations.
2025 was the year the company reached its primary emissions reduction target.
2030 was the original deadline set for reaching the company greenhouse gas reduction goal.
The Big Picture
The publication of this report follows the trend of increased corporate transparency driven by the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. This requires companies to disclose their environmental impact and progress toward specific, verifiable decarbonization targets.
Industrial users can leverage the H2D connected pump ecosystem to reduce their own energy consumption and water waste through real-time leak detection. This integration allows facility managers to lower operational costs while directly contributing to smaller Scope 3 carbon footprints.
The takeaway
Achieving emissions targets years in advance demonstrates that integrating smart, connected technology into legacy hardware can significantly improve industrial efficiency. Businesses looking to lower their carbon impact should prioritize real-time monitoring solutions that actively identify resource waste.
