- Previously, an SBTi commitment was to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, from a 2019 base year.
- Scope 3 Emissions:
- A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities, and the use of sold products by 35% by FY2034, from an FY2022 base year.
- An SBTi commitment was to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 15% by 2030, within the same timeframe as Scope 1 and 2 targets.
- General Reduction Goals:
