Fortive has set ambitious climate targets. The company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2029, from a 2019 baseline. This target is aligned with Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) guidance and the Paris Agreement. They aim to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 37.4% and Scope 2 emissions by 20.3% by 2030, using a 2021 baseline. Furthermore, Fortive announced an accelerated goal in May 2021 to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity by 50% by 2025, from 2017 levels. As of 2021, they achieved this intensity reduction target four years ahead of schedule. These commitments cover at least 95% of their real estate footprint.
