This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Also, the company commits to reducing all Scopes by 30% by 2030 from a base year 2017, which translates into the estimated reduction of -66 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2030.
