This indicates a rise in emissions from 2022 to 2023. TÜV SÜD has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero operations by 2025 across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3). They plan to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2023 base year and to cut Scope 3 emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050, with a commitment to offset any remaining emissions through certified projects. These targets are part of TÜV SÜD's broader strategy to align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which has validated their near-term and long-term goals. The emissions data and commitments are cascaded from their parent company, TÜV SÜD AG, reflecting a unified approach to sustainability across the corporate family.
