The company also states a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 80% by 2028, compared to a 2020 base year.
• Near-Term Scope 3 Targets: The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, from a 2022 base year. This target covers significant categories including purchased goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, and processing of sold products.
• Long-Term Scope 3 Target: Symrise commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2045, from a 2022 base year, covering similar categories as the near-term Scope 3 target, plus employee commuting.
• Renewable Electricity: Symrise is committed to annually sourcing 100% renewable electricity through 2030.
