DIC has set several climate commitments. It aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 27.5% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, the company commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from capital goods, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation & distribution, waste generated in operations, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 13.5% within the same timeframe. DIC also plans for 80% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services, to have science-based targets by 2027. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C. The company also has a broader goal to reduce CO2 emissions at DIC Group sites (Scope 1 and 2) by 50% from the fiscal year 2013 level by fiscal year 2030.
