Safilo Continues Its Sustainability Journey: The Close to-Time period Science-Primarily based Targets Have Been Validated By the Science Primarily based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

(PRESS RELEASE) PADUA – Safilo Group is happy to announce that its near-term science-based targets  have been validated by the Science Primarily based Targets initiative (SBTi), a partnership between the CDP, the  United Nations International Compact, World Sources Institute (WRI) and the World Vast Fund for Nature  (WWF), which promotes formidable local weather motion within the non-public sector by enabling organizations to set  science-based emissions discount targets.  

In March 2023, in the course of the presentation of the Group’s Enterprise Plan, Safilo additionally detailed the targets of its  sustainability technique, together with near-term science-based targets. The SBTi evaluated Safilo’s scope 1  and a pair of goal ambitions as consistent with a trajectory of limiting international warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial  ranges. 

Safilo’s near-term science-based targets are to cut back scope 1 and a pair of GHG absolute emissions by 70% by  2030 from a 2022 base yr, and to cut back scope 3 GHG absolute emissions from bought items and  companies and upstream transportation and distribution by 25% inside the similar timeframe.  

In accordance with the Science Primarily based Targets initiative, science-based targets present a clearly outlined pathway  for corporations to cut back GHG emissions, serving to to forestall the worst impacts of local weather change and to  future-proof companies. Targets are thought-about ‘science-based’ if they’re consistent with what the newest  local weather science deems essential to satisfy the targets of the Paris Settlement – limiting international warming to  1.5°C above pre-industrial ranges.
