Roquette has announced that its 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
SBTi is a global body enabling businesses to set emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating companies to cut emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050, per the company.

By 2030, Roquette aims to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25% versus 2021 and has committed to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation and distribution and waste generated in operations by 25% within the same timeframe.
This commitment is consistent with levels required to meet the climate action goals of the Paris Agreement.
