SIG’s path to Net-Zero approved by the Science Based Targets initiative

SIG received approval for its group-wide Net-Zero science-based target from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has committed to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2050 – the most ambitious commitment available through the SBTi process. Of the 2,000+ companies globally with a public net-zero pledge, SIG is among the first 325 companies to have its target validated by the SBTi.

SIG has set a new series of near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the SBTi, committing to reach net-zero – the point at which a balance is achieved between emissions produced and emissions taken from the atmosphere – by 2050. These targets are significantly more ambitious than the company’s previous GHG reduction targets, approved by the SBTi in 2018 and 2020. The move sees SIG look beyond its own operations and commit to the decarbonization of its full value chain in line with climate science.

SIG’s new near-term 2030 commitments (using 2020 as the baseline year) include:

• 42% absolute reduction of scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
• 100% renewable electricity through 2030
• 51.6% reduction of scope 3 GHG emissions per liter packed

SIG’s new long-term 2050 targets include:

• 90% absolute reduction of scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
• 97% reduction of scope 3 GHG emissions per liter packed
