Liquid packaging solutions provider Ecolean’s emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which means they are aligned with what’s needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The targets covering greenhouse gas emissions from Ecolean’s operations are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, which is the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.
“By joining SBTi, Ecolean is included in a very special group of companies – the corporate leaders of the low-carbon transition,” says Peter L Nilsson, Ecolean Group CEO.
“For us, there is no question that this is the right thing to do. Aligning our sustainability work to science-based targets will strengthen our ambitions even further and this is initiative provides a good and transparent platform for presenting our progress.”
Ecolean’s target is to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, compared with 2018, and to measure and significantly reduce its scope 3 emissions.
Ecolean’s lighter approach to packaging, with lightweight convenient packaging solutions and resource efficient filling lines, is at the core of its business.
The SBTi is a collaboration between CDP, the UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets.
