Imperial Brands has set several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2040 from a FY2017 base year. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 97% by FY2030 from a FY2017 base year. Additionally, Imperial Brands commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% within the same timeframe. Long-term targets include maintaining at least a 97% absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from FY2030 through FY2040 relative to the FY2017 base year, and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 91% by FY2040 from a FY2017 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C, according to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company also commits that 50% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services will set science-based targets by 2023.
