Wine Society has set ambitious climate targets. They aim for a 100% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2028, with a base year of 2021. Furthermore, The International Exhibition Co-operative Wine Society Limited, as identified by SBTi, has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, also from a 2021 base year. This commitment is consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. The company also intends to measure and reduce its Scope 3 emissions. These targets are considered near-term and are based on a streamlined validation route for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
