Genuine Parts has made commitments through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with long-term net-zero targets for all scopes by 2050. These targets were set in 2023. It's important to note that some SBTi entries list "GENUI GmbH" as the company with targets covering 97% of its total investment and lending, indicating these targets are cascaded from a related organisation or financial institution in the corporate family.
