Carbon footprint 2025: mobility is the main lever for action
With the expertise of Climate Services, BFF SA has established the bluefactory site’s 2025 carbon footprint. This report includes the activities of the companies present on the site as well as the grey energy linked to construction projects. These total 896 tCO₂eq for operating emissions and 162 tCO₂ for grey energy. This is part of on-going data collection and analysis carried out since 2015, which has already given rise to ten carbon assessments. Since 2024, this analysis has been conducted every two years.

The 2025 report highlights the preponderant weight of mobility. Business travel and commuting alone account for 83% of the site’s operating emissions. Business travel reached 0.71 tCO₂eq/FTE in 2025, compared to 0.24 tCO₂eq/FTE in 2023. Commuting journeys account for 0.66 tCO₂eq/FTE in 2025, compared to 0.32 tCO₂eq/FTE in the previous report. This increase can be explained in particular by more emissive modes of transport and by an increase in air travel for business. The report also notes a clear increase in the number of employees (+53% of jobs and +63.5% of FTEs) on the site, which mechanically contributes to the operating emissions increase.
A tool for guidance
For BFF SA, this report is a monitoring and steering tool, the reading of which must also take account of methodological developments and data collection improvements. The results make it possible to identify the main levers for action and to focus efforts on the most significant contributors. In this respect, mobility appears to be the priority for intervention. “The 2025 carbon footprint confirms the importance of raising awareness among employees working on the site, in particular through dedicated workshops, such as the 2tonne workshops,” says Adrian Douillet, partner and member of the management team at Climate Services. “It also highlights the need to implement a mobility plan at the neighbourhood level. This should make it possible to better understand users’ travel habits and constraints so that we can propose measures adapted to site realities.”
These avenues are currently being studied. They will be developed with the entities present at bluefactory, with the aim of promoting less emissive travel practices, both for commuting and for business trips.
A leading player in decarbonisation
BFF SA has been collaborating with Climate Services since its first carbon assessment. Based at the bluefactory site, Climate Services supports companies, public authorities and organisations in quantifying, analysing and reducing their CO₂ emissions. It carries out carbon assessments, defines reduction plans and develops decision-making tools to support climate transition. Since its foundation in 2013, it has supervised several hundred entities in the optimisation of their carbon footprint.
Climate Services is also behind the CO₂ Platform, developed in collaboration with the School of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg (HEIA-FR), to facilitate the collection and monitoring of carbon data. The company is also one of the founding members of the Carbon Fri Foundation, created in 2018 to encourage Fribourg companies to reduce their CO₂ emissions.
