We have committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, both in our own operations (scope 1 and 2) and across the value chain (scope 3). Our targets and accounting principles are developed in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) framework , to ensure that our decarbonisation strategy is based on the latest climate science and is in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
As part of our decarbonisation strategy, we have set a near-term target to reduce emissions under our direct control (scope 1 and 2) by 50% and indirect emissions (scope 3) by 30% in 2030 against our 2019 baseline. Our near-term targets are validated by SBTi.
