As a top energy storage manufacturer, we understand our operational impact on the environment and climate. We take our responsibility seriously, striving to minimize our ecological footprint while assisting our customers in reaching their climate objectives through high-quality energy storage products and services. To that end, we are committed to improving the efficiency of our operations, reducing waste, managing water responsibly, and investigating the use of renewable energy as we strive to reduce our environmental impact and protect valuable natural resources.

Climate and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

We continue to reduce our direct and indirect GHG emissions by advancing operational efficiency and evaluating energy strategies across our facilities. In FY26, we continued monitoring and disclosing our energy usage and corresponding Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

In FY26, we reduced our Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions by over 6% compared to FY25, bringing our total reduction to 31% since our FY20 baseline and well on track to meet our long-term goals. This progress was driven by targeted efficiency improvements, continued electrification of operations, manufacturing optimization, and the consolidation of production activities into more efficient facilities.

Despite increased electrification across our operations, we also reduced our Scope 2 emissions by 6% year over year. Since FY22, Scope 2 emissions have declined by 17%, representing an 8% reduction from our FY20 baseline. These results reflect our continued focus on improving energy efficiency, optimizing operations, and supporting long-term operational resilience

* Please note: Our reported numbers have been updated to reflect more complete and accurate data than disclosed in prior years.

In FY26, EnerSys continued to enhance our fiscal-year-aligned Scope 3 greenhouse gas inventory, further refining our data sources, methodologies, and assumptions across key emissions categories. Scope 3 emissions represent activities beyond our direct operational control, including purchased goods and services, transportation, business travel, employee commuting, and the use-phase of our products. As with many manufacturers, Scope 3 emissions remain significantly greater than our direct Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Ongoing improvements to our inventory - including updated emissions factors, more comprehensive transportation data, and refined procurement categorization - provide greater visibility into our value chain and support informed decisions that improve operational efficiency, strengthen supply chain performance, and create long-term value.

Expanding Our Solar Energy Portfolio

EnerSys continues to expand its portfolio of on-site solar generation to support more efficient and resilient operations. The Newport installations generated approximately 80 MWh during FY26. The recently completed WMA solar project is designed to contribute additional generation in future reporting periods.

Approximately 50 MWh of this renewable electricity was used to charge electric vehicles on site. The Newport installations complement a growing portfolio of renewable energy projects across EnerSys, including the solar array at our Bellingham facility, which generates approximately 5 MWh annually, and our 6.1-acre solar array at our global headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, designed with an estimated annual generation capacity of approximately 7.3 GWh, subject to operating conditions. Together, these investments strengthen operational resilience, improve energy efficiency, and support our long-term energy strategy.


 

Water

In FY26, total water usage at EnerSys decreased to 915 megaliters, approximately 16% lower than FY22 and 5.7% lower than FY20, reflecting lower overall water consumption compared to the previous year. Changes in production volumes and the mix of battery chemistries manufactured continued to influence overall water demand, as different products require varying levels of water throughout the manufacturing process. We continue to prioritize responsible water management across all operations, with particular attention to facilities located in regions facing water stress or other critical constraints. Through ongoing investments in water reuse, recycling, and conservation initiatives, we remain focused on strengthening our long-term approach to efficient and responsible resource management.

 

2030 WATER GOAL & PROGRESS

We are committed to reducing our water intensity per kWh of storage produced by 25% by FY30.
