These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. Furthermore, Synopsys commits that 45% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by 2027.
Earlier commitments included a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% by 2024 from a 2018 baseline. Synopsys also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.
