AkzoNobel has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year.

These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are aligned with a 1.5°C scenario.

The company also has a target to achieve a 50% carbon emission reduction for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030, against a 2018 baseline.
