IFCO Management GmbH, headquartered in Germany, has set ambitious climate commitments to address its carbon emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the company has established significant reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). IFCO aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by approximately 46.2% by the fiscal year 2031, using 2021 as the base year. This commitment reflects a strong alignment with the global goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C. Additionally, the company has set a target to reduce its absolute Scope 3 emissions, specifically from purchased goods and services as well as upstream transportation and distribution, by about 17% within the same timeframe. These targets demonstrate IFCO's proactive approach to mitigating climate impact and contributing to a sustainable future in the containers and packaging sector. The commitments are part of a broader strategy to enhance environmental performance and align with industry standards for climate action.
