Perstorp has set Science Based Targets in line with Paris Agreement
Perstorp Group greenhouse gas e任务s reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, meaning they are consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The targets covering greenhouse gas e任务s from Perstorp’s operations (Scopes 1 and 2*) are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting. It also independently assesses companies’ targets.
“Perstorp has a 任务 to be the sustainable solutions provider,简·谢赫说, 柏斯托集团首席执行官. “A part of this is setting targets to reduce the impact within various areas, including carbon e任务s. Perstorp wants to actively participate in the transition of the chemical industry, and we are convinced that this will also create value and new business opportunities. We have the possibility to make a great positive impact, 通过推动变革, transforming our production, and enabling new solutions that will help our customers providing sustainable products and offerings to the market . This is our commitment, and aligning with the Paris Agreement is a natural consequence of this.”
Perstorp is committed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG e任务 by 46.2 percent by 2030 from a 2019 base year. The company is also committed to reduce Scope 3 GHG e任务s from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generating operations, and end of life treatment of sold products 27.8 percent per ton sold product within the same timeframe. Perstorp’s target for the e任务s from its value chain (Scope 3) meet the SBTi’s criteria for ambitious value chain goals, meaning they are in line with current best practice.
Reaching the science-based targets means looking at every aspect of the company to identify possible ways of reducing negative climate impact . Perstorp took an important step towards enabling greenhouse gas e任务 reductions last December when it began applying Internal Carbon Pricing for Scope 1, 2和3. Internal Carbon Pricing is a way to future proof a company by helping to drive investments which improves sustainability and reduces CO2 e任务s. It is a mechanism to put an internal price on our CO2 e任务s and take this into account in business cases and as the guiding principle for decision making.
“Reaching our science-based targets will require big efforts, including reducing energy consumption at our production sites and shifting to renewable or recycled energy and raw materials sources,安娜·伯格伦说, VP 可持续性 at Perstorp Group. “The investments and decisions we make today will generate e任务s in the long future. 因此, the informed decisions we make need to take this risk factor into account to support our journey towards our targets in 2030 and beyond. Internal Carbon Pricing is one very concrete way to implement sustainability aspects into our financial decision making process.”.
* Greenhouse gas e任务s are categorised into three groups, 称为“范围”,' by the most widely-used international accounting tool, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. Scope 1 covers direct e任务s from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 covers indirect e任务s from the generation of purchased electricity, 蒸汽, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company. Scope 3 includes all other indirect e任务s that occur in a company’s value chain.
