FLSmidth has established ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 80% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, FLSmidth aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% within the same timeframe. Long-term targets involve a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, also from a 2019 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. The company has also set a goal for 30% of its suppliers, by spend covering purchased goods and services, to have science-based targets by 2025.
