Sustainability at KUBO
At KUBO, sustainability is our responsibility. It shapes how we design our greenhouses and how we run our own business every day. We aim to create solutions that use less energy, less water and generate lower emissions, while improving yield and long-term value for growers and investors.
How we integrate sustainability into our business
At KUBO, sustainability is our responsibility. It shapes how we design our greenhouses and how we run our own business every day. We aim to create solutions that use less energy, less water and generate lower emissions, while improving yield and long-term value for growers and investors.
Our ESG approach provides the framework for this. We focus on eight Sustainable Development Goals where KUBO can make the most impact. These goals guide our decisions, from engineering to procurement and from production to project delivery. They also help us measure our progress in a transparent way.
We are committed to reducing our own emissions by 42% in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 compared to 2022. We work with green electricity, solar panels, electrified company cars, residual heat and water recovery. The same principles that make our greenhouses more efficient help us operate our own sites more responsibly.
Sustainability is the foundation for future-proof growth. It strengthens our technology, our partnerships and the food systems we serve worldwide.
Why we act
We act because the global food system is under pressure. Growing populations, limited resources and a changing climate demand solutions that use less energy, less water and generate fewer emissions. As a leading greenhouse technology partner, KUBO has both the ability and the responsibility to contribute to this transition.
Our impact is twofold. We reduce our own footprint and we help growers do the same. By improving the efficiency of our operations and by delivering technology that enables sustainable, scalable food production, we create value that lasts. This commitment shapes our decisions today and prepares our industry for the challenges of tomorrow.
"We can only expect our partners to act sustainably if we lead by example."
