伦敦, 英国- 10月26日, 2021 – im体育APP Materials 技术 (im体育APP) sets out its new, industry leading environmental ambition, committing to science-based targets 和 net zero emissions across its entire global business by 2035. These environmental commitments follow the achievement of the highest ESG ranking in the testing, inspection 和 certification (TIC) industry from Sustainalytics, a global leader in ESG research 和 data.
im体育APP has achieved the best rating of any major TIC company globally, placing in the top 200 of the almost 15,000 companies rated for ESG risk by Sustainalytics. im体育APP的10.5 corporate ESG rating reflects Sustainalytics’ assessment of the Group’s exposure to ESG issues, for which im体育APP ranked low, 和 how well a business manages its relevant ESG issues, where im体育APP achieved a very strong rating.
im体育APP’s environmental commitments around emissions form a critical part of its longer-term ESG plans 和 commitment to positively respond to the climate emergency. Key climate commitments 包括:
- Committing to reduce absolute emissions in line with a 1.5℃ science-based target by 2026
- Achieving net zero emissions in direct operations by 2030
- Achieving net zero emissions across entire business by 2035
乔Wetz, im体育APP首席执行官, said: “As a business with purpose at its heart, we’re proud of our strong ESG framework that has been in place for years, which supported our achievement of this rating 和 our leadership on this critical issue.”
“By signing up to comprehensive net zero commitments across our entire operations we are raising the bar in the TIC industry. It is very clear that businesses will need to step up 和 set aggressive targets that get to net zero emissions before 2050, 和 we hope to see others in the TIC industry follow our lead.”
Earlier this month im体育APP appointed Lee Andrews as Group Director, Corporate Affairs 和 ESG. Lee will ensure that im体育APP continues to accelerate its work across the entire range of ESG initiatives.
im体育APP’s current carbon baseline, determined by 2019 figures, is 103 KTCO2e, equivalent to 15.1 TCO2e/ FTE和0.13 TCO2e per $ revenue. The emissions commitments are supported by existing initiatives such as migrating 100% of im体育APP's global electricity usage to renewable energy contracts; installing solar panels in facilities across the organization; 和 electric vehicle fleet trials.
Reducing absolute emissions in line with a 1.5C science-based target by 2026 will mean >30% reduction in Scope 1 和 2 emissions 和 >15% reduction in Scope 3 emissions (relative to the 2019 baseline). Achieving net zero emissions in direct operations by 2030 will cover all Scope 1 & 2 emissions; achieving net zero emissions across the entire business by 2035 will cover all Scope 1, 2和3排放.
