Beiersdorf has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets, cascaded from its ultimate parent, Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft. The company commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045, with a 2018 base year.

Near-term commitments include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 61.0% by 2030 from a 2018 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 30.0% by 2030 from a 2018 base year.

Long-term commitments, also from a 2018 base year, include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2045.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2045.

The Consumer Business Segment also targets to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2025 versus a 2018 baseline and achieve climate neutrality in all its production centres by 2030. The tesa Business Segment aims for fully climate-neutral production by 2030 and a 20% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 compared to its 2018 baseline.
