Indutrade has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative

Report this content

Climate and carbon emission reductions are highly prioritised for Indutrade. By joining the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”), www.sciencebasedtargets.org, Indutrade has now formally committed to developing targets and reducing emission in line with climate science.

Indutrade has already today the overall ambition to be carbon neutral for scope 1 and 2 by 2030. Aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative’s requirements will mean calibrating existing targets for scope 1 and 2, adding targets for scope 3 and also developing a road map towards net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest, contributing to limiting global warming to below 1.5 degrees.

“We have joined the SBTi with the purpose to further develop our ambitious climate targets and accelerate in this important area. In 2022, we have intensified the work to reduce climate impact and also started to measure relevant scope 3 categories to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Group’s climate impact. With this in place, Indutrade is well prepared to develop targets in line with climate science. We are proud to make this commitment and convinced that it will benefit Indutrade as a group and our individual companies in many ways”, said Bo Annvik, President and CEO of Indutrade.

Indutrade has, as of now, up to 24 months to develop the targets and strategies required by the Science Based Targets initiative. Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with pace and scale that the latest climate science says is necessary to meet the 1.5 degree goal of the Paris Agreement. The targets will be independently assessed and approved according to strict criteria.
