Climate and Waste
Doing Our Part for the Planet
We are working to reduce environmental impact with a set of key goals to achieve by 2030 across our operations. We use innovation and a continuous improvement approach toward reducing our carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste generation, while expanding our renewable energy use.
Our Climate Strategy
Since 2009, we have had a climate strategy focused on reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including emissions from our operations (Scope 1) and from the generation of purchased energy (Scope 2). We also continue to report data related to our upstream and downstream value chain emissions (Scope 3).
In 2020, we began aligning our climate strategy to reflect a science-based approach, influenced by global efforts to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial temperatures. Our approach aligns with global efforts, including GHG emissions reduction targets. Our goal is to reduce our absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30% by 2030, compared with a 2019 baseline. In our view, the benefit of setting an absolute goal, rather than an intensity goal, is that it aligns best with what the planet needs – an absolute reduction of GHG emissions. As of year end 2024, we have achieved approximately 16% reduction in absolute GHG emissions across our Company operations.
