• Science-based targets

    We are the first zero carbon company to have our climate goal approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. We believe in leading by example.

In October 2018 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed that we must reduce global emissions by 45% by 2030 to avoid a climate crisis.

Companies have a responsibility to respond to this clear message and commit to a zero-carbon future by setting science-based targets.

A “science-based target” is a roadmap that a company commits to in order to make cuts in its carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science.

By aligning targets with the level of de-carbonisation needed to keep global temperature rise well-below 2°C, companies can ensure their targets are meaningful and working towards avoiding the worst effects of climate change.

Over 550 companies have already committed, why should you join them?
