Perstorp Announces Emission Reduction Targets in Line with Paris Climate Agreement
MALMÖ, Sweden — Perstorp Group announced its commitment to emission reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and the Science Based Targets initiative. Targets will be set for both direct and indirect emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3 according to the GHG protocol) and calculated with projected future expansion and growth considered. The ambition is to apply for science-based targets in 2021.
"For direct greenhouse gas emissions, a challenge is to significantly reduce emissions from our production plants while growing our production. To reduce our indirect emissions, we need to intensify the transition from fossil raw materials to more sustainable, lower carbon footprint alternatives, and grow our Pro-Environment product portfolio. We are already committed to a sustainable transformation and working with Science Based Targets initiative enables us to be transparent in the process, and will ensure that our low-carbon transformation is aligned with climate science," said Anna Berggren, VP Sustainability at Perstorp Group.
