Elanders announced its climate targets have been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

“Having our climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative is a significant step in our long-term sustainability efforts. The SBTi validation provides us with a strong base for our continued work to reduce our climate impact and build a more sustainable business,” says Åsa Vilsson, CFO of Elanders Group, in a statement.

The global logistics company plans to work in close collaboration with its customers, suppliers, and other key stakeholders to achieve those targets.

Elanders’ climate targets include achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050, reducing GHG emissions within Scope 1 and 2 by 50% by 2030 from the base year 2021, and reducing GHG emissions within Scope 3 by 25% by 2030 from the base year 2022.

To achieve its climate targets, Elanders drives initiatives focusing on the transition to renewable energy, the use of circular materials, energy efficiency improvements and the transition to fossil-free vehicles.
