Net Zero Targets

Climate science shows that to limit global warming to 1.5°C, we must reach net zero emissions by 2050. This target presents both challenges and opportunities for companies.

What Is Net Zero?

Net zero is the state in which the greenhouse gas emissions a company releases into the atmosphere are balanced by an equivalent amount removed from it. Reaching this target requires:

1. Reducing emissions as much as possible
2. Offsetting the remaining emissions

Science Based Targets (SBTi)

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is an international initiative that helps companies set targets aligned with the Paris Agreement.

SBTi Criteria

• Annual 4.2% reduction for Scope 1 and 2
• Ambitious targets for Scope 3
• Alignment with the Net Zero Standard

Net Zero Roadmap

Short-Term Targets (2025)

• Energy efficiency projects
• Transition to renewable energy
• Process optimization

Medium-Term Targets (2030)

• 50% emissions reduction
• Supply chain transformation
• Circular economy practices

Long-Term Targets (2050)

• Net zero emissions
• Carbon-negative operations
• Full circularity

Carbon Offsetting

For unavoidable emissions, use high-quality carbon credits:

• Nature-based solutions
• Technology-based solutions
• Certified projects
