Devro, a UK-based food products manufacturer, reported its 2024 Scope 1 emissions as 54,178,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions as 32,667,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions as 71,536,000 kg CO2e. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Devro Limited.
The company has set several ambitious climate commitments:
- Net-Zero Target: Devro Ltd commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2045, with a 2023 base year. This commitment applies to all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3).
- Near-Term Scope 1 and 2 Reductions: Devro Ltd aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 45.8% by 2030, using a 2020 base year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
- Near-Term Scope 3 Reductions: Devro Ltd has two near-term Scope 3 targets:
- To reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25.0% by 2030, from a 2024 base year. This specifically refers to upstream Scope 3 emissions.
- To reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030, from a 2024 base year.
- Long-Term Scope 1 and 2 Reductions: Devro Ltd commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2045, from a 2020 base year, as part of its net-zero strategy.
- Long-Term Scope 3 Reductions: Devro Ltd aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2045, from a 2024 base year, and to reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72.0% by 2045, also from a 2024 base year.
- Renewable Electricity: The company aims to transition to 80% renewable electricity for its purchased electricity (Scope 2) by 2025 and 100% by 2030.
- Water Reduction: Devro also plans to reduce its water usage by 20% by 2030.
Devro acknowledges that two-thirds of its Group emissions stem from heat and electricity used in manufacturing processes. The company uses an internal carbon price of £50/tonne CO2e for planning purposes and incorporates best available technologies in capital projects to minimise emissions.
