Bunzl Plc has set ambitious climate commitments. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by no later than 2050. This long-term goal includes a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050 from a 2019 baseline.

Near-term targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), include a 27.5% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
