Wallbox Commits to Company-Wide Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions Goal by 2030
Wallbox (NYSE:WBX) aims to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, nearly 20 years ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement goals. The company has implemented a three-phase plan, starting with measuring and beginning to reduce its emissions, which totaled 110 tons in 2021. Last year, Wallbox reduced emissions from its headquarters by 18% through solar installations and energy management solutions. The firm plans to sign the Global Compact and pursue UN Sustainable Development Goals.

“Sustainability is a driving force behind everything we do at
Wallbox’s plan is intended to not only account for all emissions emitted from its buildings and internal operations, but also take into account its footprint throughout the full value chain of its products. To achieve this ambitious target the company has outlined a three-phase plan:
Phase 1
- Impact measurement: Measured GHG emissions from our internal operations in our offices and facilities (scope 1 and 2), which amounted to 110 tons of carbon emissions in 2021.
- Emissions reductions: Begin implementing GHG emissions reduction plan.
Phase 2
- Reduce emissions from our offices and factories to achieve a carbon free internal footprint.
- Continue to assess and reduce upstream and downstream emissions.
Phase 3
- Net Zero: Reduce emissions as much as possible and offset residual emissions to reach Net Zero by 2030.
Asunción continued, “while some carbon offsetting may be necessary, our ESG strategy will be primarily based on reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible, and we plan to offset residual emissions only where we cannot reduce greenhouse gas emissions any further through other means.”
