Firmenich has set several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its direct operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) by 2025 and be carbon positive thereafter. Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets for Firmenich SA, inherited from its parent company Firmenich International SA, include a near-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 from a 2017 base year. The company also commits to continue sourcing 100% renewable electricity annually through 2030. Furthermore, Firmenich SA aims for 80% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services to have science-based targets by 2026. For long-term targets, Firmenich SA commits to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2039, with a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2039 from a 2017 base year, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2039 from a 2021 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
