Polarium commits to set science-based emission reduction target

“Climate change is one of the most crucial concerns of our time. By committing to setting science-based targets, we will ensure that our targets will steer us towards solutions that are in line with climate science and capture impacts throughout our value chain, enabling us to contribute to the renewable energy transition with minimal negative impact”, says Stefan Jansson, CEO, and co-founder of Polarium.

“Polarium has an ambitious sustainability strategy – Breakthrough 2030 – which is shaped to drive progress and build trust. Climate Action is one of our top priorities. We have started our climate action journey and committing to set science-based targets confirms/shows our high ambition level to all our stakeholders.

About the Science Based Targets initiative

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.

The initiative is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and one of the We Mean Business Coalition commitments. The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting, offers resources and guidance to reduce barriers to adoption, and independently assesses and approves companies’ targets. www.sciencebasedtargets.org @sciencetargets
