The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 90% by 2025 from a base year 2019, which translates into the estimated reduction of -40 Kt per annum over the period of FY2023 - FY2025. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Also, the company commits to reducing all Scopes by 90% by 2040 from a base year 2019, which translates into the estimated reduction of -1,029 Kt per annum over the period of FY2023 - FY2040. This science-based target is aligned with Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
