- Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution by 27.5% within the same timeframe (2019-2030). An older target aimed to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel-and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 15% by 2030 from a 2018 baseline year.
- Ensuring that 70% of its suppliers by emissions will have science-based targets by 2024.
Long-term targets include:
- Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 baseline year.
- Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 baseline year.
The company also aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its manufacturing and energy use by 2050, with an intermediate target of reducing emissions from production plants by 50% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels.
