Helsinki/Finland – Kemira has recently announced that its climate targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI). SBTI is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute and the World Wide Fund for Nature, to drive climate action by enabling companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets.

The SBTI has approved Kemira’s near-term science-based emissions reduction target. SBTI has classified Kemira’s scope 1 and 2* target ambition as in line with a 1.5°C trajectory. Kemira Oyj commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 51.23 % by 2030 from a 2018 base year.

Kemira Oyj also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution 32.5 % by 2033 from a 2021 base year.

“As the leader in sustainable solutions for water treatment and renewable fiber, we are proud to be enabling sustainability transformation for our customers. The climate targets that the SBTI has validated are another important contribution to tackling climate change – one of the biggest challenges humanity faces,” said Antti Salminen, Kemira’s President and CEO.

Kemira will keep its long-term ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2045 for scope 1&2.

*) Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 1 and 2 cover the emissions related to Kemira’s own production. Scope 3 includes all other relevant emissions throughout the value chain.
