Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Levi Strauss & Co. has established a comprehensive set of climate goals, including:

• Net-Zero Emissions: A long-term commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by no later than 2050.
• Scope 1 & 2 Reductions:
  • A near-term target for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025, against a 2016 base year. This target is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
  • Longer-term, the company aims to maintain at least a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from 2025 through 2050, using a 2016 base year.
• Scope 3 Reductions:
  • A near-term target for a 40% absolute reduction in supply chain emissions (Scope 3, Category 1: purchased goods and services) by 2025, against a 2016 base year. This target is also validated by the SBTi.
  • An updated target aims for a 42% absolute reduction in GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by FY2030, from a FY2022 base year.
  • A long-term commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050, from a FY2022 base year.

The company actively collaborates with its suppliers to achieve these targets, encouraging them to set their own emission reduction goals. Levi Strauss & Co. is also committed to increasing its use of renewable electricity in company-operated facilities.
