Additionally, the company targets a 15% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and transportation by 2030, compared to 2018 levels. Looking further ahead, Michelin has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. This long-term goal includes a substantial reduction target of 90% for both Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, as well as a similar 90% reduction for Scope 3 emissions. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and align with the global aim to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C, demonstrating Michelin's commitment to sustainable practices and climate responsibility.
