Tereos also plans to withdraw from coal for all its dehydration units by 2030, which will impact Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
For Scope 3, Tereos aims to reduce GHG emissions from their agricultural activities by 18% compared with 2023 levels by the end of 2025, by guaranteeing 100% of their supply of non-deforesting agricultural raw materials.
