Nordex has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals. The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. For the long term, Nordex aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year. The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 and by 90% by 2050, both from a 2022 base year. Nordex has an overall net-zero target, committing to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
