SBTi commitment
In December 2022 we joined the network of companies taking action on climate change by committing to set both near-term emission reduction targets, as well as Net Zero targets, in line with the criteria and recommendations set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Following the validation of our near-term targets, SBTi has now also validated our long-term Net Zero by 2050 target.
