Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, a German food products manufacturer, has set ambitious near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2021 base year. Additionally, Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co.

These Scope 3 targets specifically cover emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and the processing of sold products. The target boundary also includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

These targets are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
