Topsoe joins the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in recognition of the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions and the fact that the chemical sector is responsible for one eighth of global industrial carbon emissions. This means that companies in this sector have a crucial role to play in limiting global warming. Topsoe is among 32 chemical companies who have joined the initiative globally and the 31英石丹麦公司提交。
“Our commitment to the Science Based Target initiative goes hand-in-hand with our vision: To be recognized as the global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies by 2024. We support customers in cutting their emissions, and we are determined to cut emissions in our own operations. Short term, our target is a 15% reduction by the end of 2021, compared to 2019. For next year and beyond, we will define long-term reduction targets to be validated by SBTi,” says Roeland Baan, CEO of Topsoe.
SBTI目标设置过程涉及由温室气体协议定义的三类排放量。范围1和2是直接排放,公司拥有电力消耗的运营控制和间接排放。范围3.包括在公司价值链中发生的所有其他间接排放,例如,客户提供链操作和最终产品使用。Topsoe将在即将到来的可持续发展报告2020中报告范围1和2排放。
Topsoe is committed to contributing positively to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and joined the UN Global Compact in May 2020, pledging to align policies and action with its Ten Principles.

关于科学的目标倡议
全球范围内,超过1000家公司通过SBTI设定排放减排目标,由民间社会组织CDP,联合国全球契约,世界资源研究所和世界野生动物基金(WWF)领导。
SBTI通过使公司设定基于科学的减排目标,推动私营部门的雄心勃勃的气候行动。
基于科学的目标为公司减少温室气体(GHG)排放提供了明确界定的途径,有助于防止气候变化和未来的业务增长的最严重影响。Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
