Kaeser Compressors Accelerates GHG Tracking & Climate Compliance with Good.Lab

As sustainability increasingly shapes customer expectations and competitive positioning, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.—a leading provider of compressed air equipment—is proactively embedding it into their long-term business strategy.  

Building on a strong history of managing waste and energy performance, Kaeser partnered with Good.Lab to implement a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and sustainability reporting program. 

With Good.Lab’s technical guidance and advisory support, the company conducted a full GHG emissions inventory across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, developed a roadmap for alignment with California’s climate disclosure requirements, and established a framework for ongoing emissions tracking and future ESG assessments. 

Kaeser’s ESG & Sustainability Goals:

• Establish GHG emissions baseline across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 
• Build internal understanding of climate regulations 
• Prepare for California Climate Disclosure requirements 
• Respond to growing sustainability demands from large customers 
• Lay the groundwork for future ESG reporting and assessments (EcoVadis)

PRS’s ESG & Sustainability Drivers:

• Enterprise customer requests for climate data 
• Upcoming climate regulatory requirements (CA SB 219) 
• Corporate alignment with sustainability leadership at global headquarters 
• Organizational commitment to environmental stewardship and continuous improvement 

Kaeser’s Sustainability Journey: Building on a Legacy 

Kaeser’s U.S. team has long focused on helping its customers curb the energy use of air compressors—designing more efficient machines, training sales engineers to spot waste, and advising plants on right-sizing, controls, and leak prevention. 

Now, as customer expectations and climate-disclosure rules tighten, Kaeser is extending that same discipline to its own operations and value chain. 

The company is now quantifying the emissions from its U.S. facilities, upstream manufacturing in Germany, and the real-world “use of sold products” that drives much of its Scope 3 impact. This deeper view equips Kaeser to meet rising procurement standards, comply with new climate regulations, and reinforce its standing as a trusted, forward-thinking business partner in a climate-conscious industrial landscape.

Selecting a Solutions Provider to Navigate Complexity

Kaeser’s sustainability efforts were initially spread across multiple functions but as the company’s ESG approach matured, they brought on an environmental specialist to help achieve long-term goals. Kaeser required a knowledgeable partner who could simplify the complexity of emissions reporting and regulatory readiness, while building organizational knowledge and minimizing operational disruption. 

Good.Lab stood out due to its expert-led approach and efficient, tech-enabled methodology for GHG tracking and meeting California’s climate regulations. The engagement with Good.Lab prioritized speed and clarity—pairing deep operational experience with tailored support to help Kaeser move quickly and make informed decisions. With a focus on action and knowledge transfer, Good.Lab gave Kaeser the confidence and direction needed to advance their sustainability efforts.

Why Good.Lab Was the Right Sustainability Partner for Kaeser for Meeting Climate Disclosure Laws

End-to-End GHG Solutions

Good.Lab supported Kaeser through comprehensive GHG accounting—measuring emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3—and created a roadmap for climate regulation readiness. For downstream Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products), Good.Lab developed a customized methodology aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, tailored specifically to Kaeser’s business model and customer use profiles. 

Climate Regulatory Expertise  

With California’s climate disclosure law approaching in 2026, Kaeser needed clarity on what to report, when, and how to best prepare. Good.Lab delivered a step-by-step readiness assessment that outlined key reporting requirements for reporting into CA SB 219 and equipped Kaeser’s leadership with a clear plan for annual GHG emissions tracking and future disclosures.  

Building a Long-Term Vision for Sustainability at Kaeser
