For near-term targets, Tennant commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 45% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. They also aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 45% within the same timeframe. For long-term targets, Tennant commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2021 base year. Furthermore, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 90% within the same timeframe. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. The company has previously reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 1.7% from a 2021 baseline by 2022.
