Safaricom has set several climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 43% by 2030 and 74% by 2050 from a 2017 base year. Additionally, Safaricom commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 41% by 2030 and 72% by 2050 from a 2017 base year. These near-term targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C. The company also has a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 20% between 2023 and 2024. Furthermore, Safaricom aims for 10% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services to set science-based Scope 1 and 2 targets by 2023.
