Earlier this year we announced our new sustainability strategy, Pure Food+Pure Planet, pledging to achieve a 31% reduction in carbon emissions at all our manufacturing sites under operational control* by 2030 (scope 1 and 2) and to reduce scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services by 25% per tonne of dairy product produced by 2030 from a 2018 base year.
These targets, which align to the Paris Agreement to limit climate change, have now been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the most ambitious global standard for best practice in emissions reduction, in line with climate science.
The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets. Validation of our carbon reduction targets by SBTi demonstrates that we are making progress on our journey towards a more sustainable future.
We’re proving our commitment to building a sustainable future, by letting the science dictate our course of action, with Science Based Targets.
We will measure and publish progress against our targets annually from here. Further details on our commitments can be found by visiting our Sustainability website.
*Operational control boundary covers Glanbia plc, SWC and MWC
