Furthermore, there are Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments for absolute reductions, including a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, and a 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2050, both from a 2021/2022 baseline respectively. Near-term SBTi targets include a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030. The company is actively working to ensure individual subsidiaries have action plans aligned with these targets.
