Billerud has confirmed the approval of its new Science Based Targets.
The approval marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to contributing to a low carbon society. Billerud has committed to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year.
“We have already made significant progress in European operations, and while continuing our efforts there, the largest reductions going forward will come from our North American operations. We have established plans including a dedicated organisation and the necessary investments to achieve these targets,” commented Ulrika Wedberg, EVP Sustainability & Public Affairs. “2024 has been the warmest year on record, emphasising the urgency for companies to remain focused on reducing carbon footprints. Re-committing to science-based targets is not just about setting goals; it’s about taking real, decisive action to combat climate change and move towards a low-carbon society.”
