Sonepar has set ambitious targets to mitigate its climate impact. The company is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, Sonepar aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 13.5% within the same timeframe.

In addition to these specific reductions, Sonepar has a long-term vision to achieve global carbon neutrality by 2050.

It is important to note that Sonepar's emissions data is cascaded from its parent organisation, Sonepar SAS.
