Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Sligro Food Group has set several targets to reduce its environmental impact:

• Scope 1 and 2 Emissions:
  • The company aims to reduce its market-based Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a maximum of 52,000 tonnes CO2e in 2025, compared to a 2024 baseline of 56,176 tonnes CO2e.
  • Looking further ahead, Sligro aims to reduce market-based Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions to a maximum of 20,000 tonnes CO2e by 2030, a target compatible with the Paris Agreement.
  • Previously, Sligro aimed for a 40% carbon reduction compared to a 2010 baseline by 2025 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
  • For the period up to 2030, Sligro is targeting a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from a 2021 baseline.
• Fleet Electrification: In 2023, Sligro invested in a new charging infrastructure at its Amsterdam delivery service facility to support the transition to fully electric deliveries, aiming to power all electric trucks by 2030.
• Historical Reduction: Data indicates a carbon reduction of 19.5% relative to revenue since 2010, and 22.7% relative to revenue since 2010 in other reporting years.

Sligro Food Group's reporting covers all scopes, with Scope 3 emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, being the most significant component of their overall carbon footprint. The company is committed to absolute emission reductions and has set a long-term net-zero ambition.
