This target is in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and has been submitted for SBTi validation. * Specifically, there is a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, based on a 2022 baseline. * A long-term target is to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from the 2022 base year. * The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade (2025). * **Scope 3 Reduction:** * A target exists to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution by 51.6% per ton of product purchased by 2030, using 2022 as a base year. * There is also a commitment to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution by 97% per ton of product purchased by 2050. * An earlier science-based target aimed to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution by 25% per ton of tires by 2030, from a 2018 base year. * Additionally, Nokian Tyres aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 25% per ton of tires by 2030, from a 2018 base year. * **Intensity-Based Targets:** * The company achieved a target to cut CO2 emissions by 52% per production ton by 2030, compared to 2015 levels, seven years ahead of schedule in 2023. This target applied to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from tire factories. * A previous target aimed for a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions per production ton by 2020 and a 30% reduction by 2030, relative to 2013 emissions. Nokian Tyres has aligned its climate targets with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is a member of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C initiative. The company also joined the Polestar 0 project, aiming to create a climate-neutral car by 2030.
