The company is committed to reducing all Scopes by 50% by 2025 from a base year 2020, which it appears to have already achieved as of 2021. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Hays plc also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Hays plc commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by FY2026 from a FY2020 base year. Hays plc commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and capital goods by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year. Hays plc also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel by 40% by FY2026 from a FY2020 base year.
