GLOBAL minerals company Sibelco have unveiled their target to reduce Scope 1-2 emissions intensity (tonnes CO2/revenue) by 5% per year from 2021 to 2030 (37% cumulatively), in line with best practices promoted by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). An additional target for Scope 3 emissions will be confirmed next year after further consultation with customers and suppliers.
The 5% per year Scope 1-2 intensity-reduction target is understood to be one of the toughest set to date by any business in the industrial minerals sector, and the company will be investing approximately €90 million in new technologies and operational excellence initiatives over the next nine years to support its goal.
