International. Arkema establishes a new climate plan with more ambitious objectives for 2030 throughout its value chain, approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
The Group now aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 48.5% for Scopes 1+2 and by 54% for Scope 3 by 2030 versus 2019.
In July 2022, the Group had set new greenhouse gas reduction targets, in line with the expectations of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.
Thanks to significant progress made in 2022, these targets have been raised and Arkema is now targeting a 48.5% reduction in the Group's greenhouse gas emissions for Scopes 1+2, and a 54% reduction for Scope 3 by 2030 compared to 2019.
These new targets have been approved by the independent global organization Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
"Arkema is committed to the long-term fight against climate change," said Chairman and CEO Thierry Le Hénaff.
"From its energy procurement policy to industrial innovation, from its portfolio of solutions to the spread of a 'climate and environmental culture', this virtuous trajectory mobilises all components of the Group, and we are particularly proud that our new 2030 targets have been validated. by the SBTi," Le Hénaff added.
Already committed for many years to the pursuit of energy efficiency at its industrial sites through its Arkema Energy program, and to the development of low-carbon energy procurement, the Group has identified room for improvement in its Scopes 1+2, so it plans to reduce its emissions from 3.7 million tons of CO2 equivalent in 2019 to 1.9 million tons in 2030.
