The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 50% by 2030 from a base year 2018, which translates into the estimated reduction of -9.5 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2030. This science-based target is aligned with Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Also, the company commits to achieving net zero for all Scopes by 2050, which translates into the estimated reduction of -242 Kt per annum over the period of FY2021 - FY2050. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
