Muntons has set ambitious climate commitments. They have a science-based target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2025, using 2010 as a base year. Notably, they achieved an early reduction in 2022, and by the end of 2024, they had decarbonised their energy-related emissions by 56% across all UK sites compared to their 2010 baseline. Furthermore, Muntons has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040. This includes a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2018 base year. They also aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe. More specifically for the near term, they commit to reducing absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 76.48% by 2035 from a 2018 base year, and Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, downstream transportation, distribution, and processing of sold products by 62.0% by 2035.
