Heusch delivers on CO2-reduction
November, 11th 2020 the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged: “It is essential that the European Union commits to reducing emissions by at least 55% by 2030.”
At Heusch we asked ourselves: “How can we contribute to achieve this ambitious target?”
After rigorously scrutinizing our production and administrative processes we identified our electric power consumption as the single biggest lever to reduce CO2-emissions. Instead of depending on the energy mix provided by our power supplier (out of renewal and fossil fuels) we wanted to generate our own - 100% renewal - energy by applying state of the art photovoltaic technology.
Today we are happy to announce that all our suitable roof area is covered with photovoltaic cells providing an electrical power of 476 kWp. Now, a substantial portion of our power needs originates from CO2-neutral energy generation.
Just 10 months after we sincerely committed our self to substantial CO2 reduction Heusch delivers on this commitment. It is a beacon to our pledge to sustainable development.

Higgs Material Sustainability Index (MSI) for Leather
The inappropriate methodologies calculating the Higg MSI had led decision makers to replace leather by unsustainable, fossil fuel-derived, synthetic products. (Dr. Kerry Senior, International Council of Tanners)
Reasons for rejection:
- Data from not later than 2013, not representative of the current status
- Data refer to Brazilian and US herds only
- Wrong average lifespan of bovine (5 years instead of 2-3years) will increase the environmental impact
- No differentiation between grain- and suede leather
- The methodology for the assessment of the impact of Chemistry is not transparent
- Leather is a byproduct of the beef and dairy industry
- Disregard of leather’s durability and reparability
For these reasons the ICT, International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IULTCS), Leather and Hide Council of America (LHCA), China Leather Industry Association (CLIA) and the Leather Association in the European Union (Cotance) advocate for an alternative rating system.
Unanimously all above organizations suggest applying the EU Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR), using current and reliable datasets. Based on the accurate data evaluation of leather as a natural resource would be improved.
