Climate Action

We have set ambitious targets to become carbon neutral across our internal operations by 2030.

The Science Based Targets initiative has commended our 2030 Scope 1* & 2** greenhouse gas (GHG) emission goals as ambitious, 1.5ºC-aligned targets.

*Scope 1: emissions from sources we own or control.
** Scope 2: indirect emissions generated by our purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling.

Our 2030 Targets

We have made bold commitments to:

Our aims include:

Around 80% of our carbon footprint derives from our indirect value chain emissions.

We are working to drive climate action across our value chain.

Our collective efforts have led to:

Our ongoing aims

Embed environmental sustainability criteria in our vendor selection process.
Strengthen expectations within contracts.
Engage with key suppliers of goods and services to drive the adoption of science based GHG reduction goals by 2025.

We also support governmental policy frameworks that...

Promote implementation of low carbon and renewable energy projects.
Reduce GHG emissions

...and meet the following criteria:

Support climate and energy research and promote an economic environment that is conducive to technological innovation.
Remove barriers to energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. This includes replacing higher carbon fuels with lower carbon fuels and streamlining processes for approving such projects.
Offer incentives for energy efficient enhancement and renewable energy implementation.
Provide a flexible, market-based approach to reducing GHG emissions that promotes energy price predictability, enabling business to plan strategically for long-term energy alternatives.
Establish emissions reductions targets guided by the best available science and available technologies, which appropriately credit companies that have achieved verifiable voluntary emissions reductions.
