Kingspan Group plc has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include a 65% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2020 base year. Additionally, Kingspan Group plc is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 42% within the same timeframe (2020-2030). These targets are consistent with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) 1.5°C warming scenario. The company also aims for net-zero carbon manufacturing (Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions) by 2030 and a 50% reduction in product CO2e intensity from primary supply partners by 2030. Furthermore, Kingspan has a target for 60% direct renewable energy by 2030 and zero-emission company cars by 2025.
