We are committed to reducing emissions from our operations and from our value chain. The targets for these reductions have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative and are aligned with the Paris Agreement.

And our ambitions are not just focused on the future. We are also working to reduce and remove the equivalent of our historical emissions from operations since our founding in 1941, through a 20-year partnership with WWF to protect and restore tropical forest areas.

We have also begun work to understand the impacts and dependencies of our business on nature to be able to support biodiversity on our sites and throughout our supply chain.

Sustainability is at the heart of our corporate strategy, and we have set ambitious targets across key sustainability areas. We have been working successfully to cut our carbon footprint since 2010, and in 2020, we launched ambitious climate commitments:

• By 2030, reduce emissions from own operations by 100% from 2020 levels (Scope 1&2)
• By 2030, 50% reduction of CO2e from value chain from 2020 levels (Scope 3)
• By 2041, 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 reduced and removed through forest and biodiversity projects equal of our company’s carbon emissions from 1941-2041
• By 2030, all relevant sites have initiated or implemented actions that set them on path to promote and achieve the best possible impact on biodiversity.
