Wolters Kluwer has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For near-term reductions, Wolters Kluwer N.V. commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 60% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Additionally, the company targets a 30% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting within the same timeframe. Long-term goals include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2019 base year, and a 90% reduction in specified Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050. These targets are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
