Evatec Achieves Validation for Near-Term Science-Based Emissions Reduction Target

Trübbach – Evatec is proud to announce that our near-term science-based emissions reduction target has been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This significant milestone underscores our commitment to aligning our climate action with the latest climate science and contributing to the global effort to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C.

The SBTi is a globally recognized organization that enables companies and financial institutions to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets in line with what is necessary to prevent the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. By achieving this approval, Evatec joins a growing community of organizations dedicated to corporate decarbonization.

Key Highlights:

• Commitment to Science-Based Targets: Evatec has committed to reducing its GHG emissions in line with the SBTi’s rigorous criteria, ensuring our actions are scientifically grounded and effective.
• Near-Term Target: Evatec AG commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Evatec AG also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 25% within the same timeframe.

“Achieving SBTi approval for our near-term target is a sign of Evatec’s commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices,” said Andreas Wälti, CEO of Evatec. “We are committed to taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint and drive positive change for the environment.”
