Assystem's short-term emissions reduction targets validated by SBTi
Engineering firm Assystem has received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its short-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The goals align with Paris Agreement objectives.
Assystem, a company specializing in nuclear engineering and digital solutions, has announced that its short-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The validation confirms Assystem's commitment to aligning its operations with scientific recommendations to combat climate change. The company aims to reduce its emissions significantly by 2030.
Specifically, Assystem plans to decrease absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as a baseline. Furthermore, Scope 3 emissions are targeted for a 51.6% reduction per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee within the same timeframe.
The SBTi has assessed that Assystem's ambitions for scopes 1 and 2 are consistent with limiting global warming to levels outlined in the Paris Agreement. These commitments encompass emissions from energy consumption, business travel, commuting, and purchased goods and services.
Assystem positions itself as a key contributor to the energy transition, focusing on developing low-carbon electricity solutions and embedding sustainable practices within its own operations.
