Saint-Gobain's commitments to reduce its CO(2) emissions by 2050
approved by the Science Based Targets initiative
Saint-Gobain, committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050,
announces that the Science Based Targets initiative[1] has approved
its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets as consistent with
the organization's new net zero standard and the Paris Climate
Agreement. Saint-Gobain is the first company in its sector
worldwide to receive this approval since the introduction of the
new standard at the end of last year.
This validation of the Group's long-term commitments to achieve
net zero CO(2) emissions, both direct and indirect, along its
entire value chain by 2050 allows it to further refine its roadmap
towards carbon neutrality. It will entail a reduction in CO(2)
emissions of at least 90% in the three scopes by 2050, with
additional sequestration projects planned for residual
emissions.
"Saint-Gobain is very proud to have our greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets approved by the SBTi to achieve carbon neutrality
by 2050. For Saint-Gobain, social and environmental responsibility
is a long-term commitment and with a continuous process towards
excellence. This recognition validates Saint-Gobain's commitments
in the fight against climate change, with the aim of maximizing the
positive impact the Group brings to its customers and minimizing
its own environmental footprint," says Claire Pedini, Senior Vice
President, Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility of
Saint-Gobain.
Saint-Gobain's commitments to reduce in absolute terms by 2030
from 2017 its direct and indirect CO(2) emissions (scopes 1 and 2)
by 33% and its scope 3 emissions, mainly linked to purchasing and
transport, by 16% by 2030 was already validated in November 2020 by
the SBTi.
The Group will continue to accelerate its roadmap, notably
through improvements in energy efficiency, product weight
reduction, increased recycled content and the use of green
energies, in order to align its targets with the most demanding
trajectory, that limits the rise in temperatures to 1.5degC.
