Elevate Textiles, a global provider of advanced, high-quality products and textile solutions, announced the validation of its near-term and net-zero emissions targets by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). 

Elevate, along with its brands American & Efird (A&E), Burlington, Cone Denim, Gütermann, and Safety Components, will utilize these validations to continue to push forward in accomplishing its 2030 sustainability goals.

Elevate is committed to lowering absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, in addition to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy related activities, purchased goods and services, and processing of sold products 46.2% within the same timeframe.

In its validation process, Elevate submitted GHG emission reduction targets to the SBTi, which then assessed and approved its near-term and net-zero targets against their own Net-Zero Standard Criteria and Near-Term Target Criteria and Recommendations. 

“As we continue our decarbonization journey, we are proud to announce the validation of our 2050 net-zero targets,” said Jimmy Summers, Chief Sustainability Officer, Elevate Textiles, in a statement. “Concurrently, we received a revalidation of our 2030 near-term science-based targets, which we are on track to meet. These steps mark an important milestone in an increasingly difficult decarbonization challenge.”
