Tesa has set ambitious climate commitments. They aim to reduce their absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by the end of 2025, relative to a 2018 base year. This target was strengthened after they surpassed their initial goal of a 30% reduction by 2025, achieving a 38% reduction by 2023. Tesa is also working towards achieving climate-neutral production (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing their total Scope 3 emissions by 20% by 2030, compared to 2018 levels. While Tesa SE is a subsidiary, their climate data and targets are reported directly by the organisation. However, their SBTi and "Race to Zero" initiative affiliations are cascaded from their parent company, Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft.
