Nordzucker's emissions data is cascaded from Nordzucker AG, where Nordzucker holds a current subsidiary relationship with a cascade level of 1. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Nordzucker has set ambitious targets to achieve climate neutrality. Specifically: * **Climate Neutral Production by 2050:** The company aims to achieve climate neutrality in its production processes by 2050 at the latest. For its operations in Germany, this target is set for 2045. * **Scope 1 and 2 Reduction Target:** Nordzucker has committed to a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2018 as the base year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory, as confirmed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). * **Scope 3 Reduction Target:** The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, relative to a 2018 base year. This reduction covers categories such as purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, business travel, employee commuting, processing of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products. The target boundary also includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. Furthermore, Nordzucker has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 36.4% by FY2030 from a FY2018 base year, also with land-related emissions and removals included. The company also pledges to maintain no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities.
