Additionally, Network Rail commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 indirect use-phase emissions by 28% by financial year 2029 from a financial year 2018 baseline. The company also aims for 75% of its suppliers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, to have science-based targets by financial year 2025. Network Rail is committed to net-zero, with long-term Scope 1, 2, and 3 targets by 2050. These targets cover biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks and are considered consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
