Our targets
Sustainability
In 2025, we validated our science-based target (SBT) for greenhouse emission reduction with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
We also achieved all of our prior environmental intensity targets, and set new environmental intensity targets that align with our SBT.
Our target year is 2034, and we use a 2024 baseline. Scope 3 categories covered by our SBT are Purchased Goods, Upstream Transportation and Waste Generated. Intensity targets are set per tonne of production.
You can find more on our progress in our latest annual report.
