This commitment is supported by specific reduction targets: * **Near-term Targets (by 2030, compared to 2021):** * A reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42%. * A reduction of absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25%. These targets align with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. * **Long-term Targets:** * A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, based on a 2021 baseline. * A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050. These commitments are verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
