Emsland Group’s emissions reduction targets have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Emsland Group has reached an important milestone: The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially validated the company’s science-based emissions reduction targets. The validated targets include a 50.4% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030<\/strong>, using 2018 as the base year<\/strong>. Looking further ahead, Emsland Group has committed to achieving net-zero<\/strong> greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045, including a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 90% reduction in relevant Scope 3 emissions compared with the 2018 base year<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

This independent validation confirms that our climate targets are aligned with the latest climate science and support the global ambition of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies worldwide to set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in line with climate science. Its rigorous validation process ensures that corporate climate commitments are credible, measurable, and in line with international best practices.Die SBTi ist eine international anerkannte Organisation, die Unternehmen dabei unterst\u00fctzt, wissenschaftlich fundierte Klimaziele zu entwickeln. Ihr anspruchsvoller Validierungsprozess stellt sicher, dass Emissionsreduktionsziele transparent, glaubw\u00fcrdig und messbar sind sowie den international anerkannten wissenschaftlichen Standards entsprechen. <\/p>\n\n

For the Emsland Group, the validation represents more than formal recognition. It provides a clear framework for further reducing emissions across our operations and value chain while supporting the long-term sustainability of our business. <\/p>\n\n

As a company that transforms renewable agricultural raw materials into innovative solutions for the food, animal nutrition, and technical applications industries, we recognize our responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable future. The validation of our science-based targets reinforces our commitment to measurable climate action and continuous improvement. <\/p>\n\n

With our targets now validated, our focus turns to implementation. Together with our employees, customers, suppliers, and agricultural partners, we will continue driving initiatives that reduce our environmental footprint and support the transition to a lower-carbon economy. <\/p>\n\n
