Climate Strategy

2030 CO2 Emission Reduction Plan

Our CO2 Reduction Plan aims to significantly cut carbon emissions by 2030, aligning with the Paris Agreement's goal to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C. Using 2019 as our baseline year, we target a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and a 28% reduction in Scope 3 emissions*. Committed to Science-Based Targets since 2021, with validation in 2024, we drive change through renewable energy adoption and energy efficiency. Our approach integrates innovation, regulation, and public engagement for a sustainable future.

*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

Additionally, we emphasise partnering (collaboration), recognising that achieving the SDGs holistically across the entire value chain requires cooperation with various stakeholders.
