This commitment, recognised by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), requires us to submit near-term (2030) carbon reduction targets and long-term (2050) targets by the end of 2025, and to adhere to them thereafter. These targets are based on rigorous methodologies and are subject to external verification. Since then, our teams have been working together to define these targets and identify strategies to reduce our carbon footprint, such as purchasing low-carbon materials and optimising energy use.
The SBTi is the strongest form of corporate engagement available to address climate change. It helps companies reduce CO2 emissions, a major contributor to global warming. The initiative is a collaboration between the Carbon Disclosure Project, the United Nations Global Compact and the World Resources Institute. More than 4,000 companies worldwide are already working with the SBTi, although there are still relatively few in the energy sector.
